Ford pulls Jaguar and Land Rover ads from gay publications

By Bob Holland | December 9, 2005

So is Ford getting pressure from conservative and/or religious groups here? Ford says it was a "business decision" to stop placing Jaguar and Land Rover ads in gay publications, and not political pressure. Yeah, as in they were losing business...

Interesting that Volvo will continue advertising in gay publications, however...

So what does that tell you about Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo customers?

Kudos to Volvo, for having more autonomy and for not being homophobic.

The other brands should open their eyes and realize that the gay demographic usually sets the trends.
