Neil Patrick Harris, how far we've come America...

[Anonymous]

I just saw a Heineken commercial with Neil Patrick Harris during a MLB game. An openly gay man, advertising a beer (and not a fancy microbrew one) during a major league baseball game. You never would have seen that back in the '80s. In fact, I remember SNL doing a "gay beer" skit .. that may have been the '90s, though.
Good for you, America.

That commercial has been around at least six months.

I agree, OP. NPH does illustrate a drastic change having become so mainstream and popular. What's more: he's perceived as wholesome. He's known as a family guy and a beloved song and dance man. He loves disney and has even done some stuff for them...which is huge given their conservative base.

On the flip side, he is also super cool (see, e.g., Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle). NPH has wide appeal.

Totally agree OP.

I was also very pleased to see even some of my most conservative friends "liking" things related to Caitlyn Jenners Vanity Fair cover on FB.
