In Australia Complaint about gay safe sex ads 'homophobic'
There has been an angry reaction to the removal of a safe sex advertisements in Brisbane featuring two gay men hugging.
Paul Martin from the Queensland Association of Healthy Communities says there has been dozens of complaints about the condom ads at bus shelters.
He says the reaction smacks of homophobia.
"I've got the complaint sent to the Advertising Standards Bureau in front of me and it reads, I quote "to promote this lifestyle to our youth is not in the interests of healthy communities - the only place this message should be seen would be to practising homosexuals, not to impressionable youth in our general public spaces'," he said.
"To me, that's pretty clearly homophobic."
