We have been stigmatized for a long time as just being sex animals & nothing else. Sorry But I get the meaning and humor in this.

It's not meant to be parody; it's a floating corporate advertisment for boner pills.

Still not seeing the humorous.... Just me?

Which doesn't help me at all, but at least you tried. Also, alcohol and viagra together is not advised.

How does this picture make anyone lol? How does it promote PRIDE in being true to ones' self?

It's worse than lame. It infuriates me.

whats wrong with advertising a pill that helps a man keep or get it up? Gay men are no different than straight men in this regard, both can and do experience erectile dysfunction at the same rates. Do you see a problem with Viagra being advertised on TV too? Sorry Im just not seeing a problem?
