You know who doesn't have a right to free speech? Women in Saudia Arabia. Yet you take offense to a lighthearted yet tacky advertisement that is at least trying to spread some awareness about an actual issue.
I swear society is slowly being ruined by these SJW's who have all the time in the world to talk about the worlds smallest problems.

I love the people who can spot obviously horrific regimes like Saudi Arabia and yet be so completely lacking in self-awareness that they can ernestly use a term like SJW and claim that people getting upset on the internet is what's ruining the world.

The term SJW needs to die already. Come up with something new.

I'm pretty sure you have the right to both. Don't know if that makes you an SJW though.

This has surprisingly more of a ring to it than it probably should. I think this could work.

Feeling the need to apologize to the LGBT community for something like this is a tragedy in it's own right. You think there are lesbians and gay people up in arms over this? Nope, just people in their armchair who got triggered because they saw the word lesbian in a headline.

The gentleman who made the poster and apologized for it is gay apparently.

Apparently, according to the first 4 words of the first post in this thread.
'A gay Métis Albertan...'

lol take away the "Oil Sands" part of this and I think the reactions on here would be far different and a lot less supportive.
I'm not offended but could see why someone would be and it really does no help for the Oil Sands workers already sterling reputation as well educated and well mannered men and women....

I thanked this, but I had to quote it to get the point across.
You dunked on that poster. You dunked hard on people just like him.
SJW's are annoying but if there is any less self-aware and equally annoying breed of human out there it's those people who still use that term and complain about them constantly.
The outrage about this is barely registering, but the outrage about the supposed outrage? Gotta make sure it's known!

They should have put 2 men kissing in the ad. I wonder how different the reaction would have been.

I'm pretty sure Saudi lesbians are hotter than Canadian lesbians. It's over 40 degrees celcius there!

Yes this would have been super annoying had it happened. The reaction you're mad about hasn't really manifested itself from what I can tell.

I don't think SJW's are ruining the world, I just legitimately wonder how they get through life. The trials and tribulations of life must just absolutely crush them.

Seriously.
The best part is, it's the EXACT same people that complain about the mysterious mythical outrage around people saying "Merry Christmas" that is apparently just killing our culture. Still haven't actually heard anyone get mad about "Merry Christmas". Ever. In my life. 
Defensive people with no leg to stand on need to fabricate supposed outrage so they can complain about it.
No ones mad about the ad, it just completely undermines a rather good argument about human rights and supporting Alberta oil and we just think that if the ad appeals to you, then you most likely operate on a high school level...
