I think:
same sex, same feet, double shoes for both.
it's not simple to understand...

I don't think it's intentional, but I think the gay community would find these demeaning. Although seeing images of gay couples in the media can be a positive thing, this ad makes a spectacle of the gay lifestyle, and communicates that it's some sort of extreme measure and a choice. I think taking this same concept and just tweaking the tone and perspective might help you overcome that.

As a gay man, I think it's pretty cool that I get double the wardrobe because I can raid my boyfriend's closet. But these ads don't seem to celebrate that, they seem to be mocking it.

“...communicates that it's some sort of extreme measure and a choice”. Agree. The ad must as well say “You'll go gay for these shoes!”. The only idea behind these seems to be “Homosexuality: controversy”. That's not very open-minded at all.

I dont know I'd call it controversial. What I see is a spot-on parody of the usual "I'm so bored, I'm so jaded, I'm so alientated" straight relationships usually shown in fashon shoots.

Man are everybody blind or something.
