In this visual essay, the beginnings of outvertising are presented and discussed, here understood as a more inclusive and pro-sexual diversity contemporary advertising trend. More specifically, this paper proposes to investigate which multisemiotic manifestations of advertising discourse historically preceded the emergence of these current LGBT-friendly campaigns. The results point to three main manifestations: advertisements with the word gay (still without homosexual connotation), advertisements illustrated by the artist J.C. Leyendecker, and codified insinuations of homoeroticism in men’s intimate apparel commercials from the 1900s to the 1960s.Downloads
