LinkedIn Pulls Ad for Gay Travel Guide

Canada's  XTRA  reports, "The professional networking site LinkedIn has pulled an ad for a gay travel guide, claiming it contains “inappropriate content or language.”

"It’s baffling," says Robert Christofle at Open Mic Press/Icon Empire Press.

Christofle says he’s been promoting The Gay Travel Guide For Tops And Bottoms on a variety of sites, many of them straight, without incident. But LinkedIn, which has networks ostensibly catering to gay professionals, censored the ad.


LinkedIn says it pulled the ad due to its sexual content.

“LinkedIn is a professional networking platform and, as such, there has never been a place on it for ads that feature or promote explicit sexual content or products of any kind,” spokesperson Danielle Restivo told Xtra on Sept 1.

Google Ad and Facebook haven’t objected to the ad, Christofle notes. "Out of the three different advertising sites, only LinkedIn has a target gay networking site, and they are the only ones to pull the ad.”
