Excellent post!!! Where did you find this? Was it in the U.S.? Was it in a place of business whose customers are typically couples? Just curious about its context!

Nice one, I wonder if we are going too far. Imagine an image with a little kid being guided by his dog, would that make more sense?

SF Chinatown!!!!?? Hey I'm from the Bay Area so this is somewhat embarassing, but funny too. I wonder if such signs are more common in Asia. I'll be sure to keep an eye out next time I visit my motherland (China).

Oh, bullshit. Should they have put a gay couple and a lesbian couple on there, too? This obviously wasn't meant to be offensive in any way, and wasn't meant to promote heterosexual couples. Seriously, this is nitpicking.

Maybe it is Ellen in her tux and Porche in a slinky dress... or maybe the woman is leading the man because she has more common sense. How you see it informs us about you, not always who made the sign , of course, our society influences both aspects.

The graphic is open to interpretation... Seen from another viewpoint, it's a pretty clear communication to direct purse snatchers toward the best escape route. :-)

I totally agree with anonymous. It's obviously not meant to offend anyone here. Perhaps in other parts of town they DO have signs with same sex couples, but I don't think this sign is trying to make a "statement" of any kind.
