Begun in 2007, Never Hide was created to make the now-75-year old company more enticing and appealing to a younger market. One of their newest ads features two men dressed in 1940′s-era business suits, walking down a cosmopolitan street, holding hands, with the headline “Never Hide,” at the top of one version, and on the bottom of another.

And it is these qualities that characterize true leaders.To read more: http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/ray-bans-new-gay-inclusive-ad-campaign-is-gorgeous/marriage/2012/04/26/38540
