https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Closet_Association

The Commercial Closet Association (CCA) was a New York City based non-profit organization, founded in 2001[1] to provide “training and best practices on the representation of” the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.[2] It hoped to affect the $1.1 trillion annual worldwide advertising market ($128 billion in the US alone).[3] Its board announced its closure in 2009 after merging with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).[2]

The Association’s programs targeted at the business and advertising industries included advertising training, an online Ad Library, Best Practices guidelines, a monthly LGBT advertising issues column, and the annual Images in Advertising Awards event to honor excellence of LGBT portrayals in advertising.[4][5]

The organization targeted marketing and ad agency corporate officers and executives, university students/professors, the media, and consumers, aiming to make future advertising more inclusive and positive by contacting advertising and image creators in order to educate them directly.[citation needed]

To: a fool in paradise
Imagine if conservatives took the same approach in getting their message out? Created and contributed significantly to non-profit organizations to provide training and best practices on the representation of the conservative community?

Imagine if Christians took the same approach in getting their message out? If all the Christian denominations and congregations evangelized with the same fervor as the homosexuals?

I can only imagine...
