A commercial for a gay dating website will likely not air during next week?s Super Bowl. The site submitted an ad that CBS is still ?deliberating? on. ManCrunch was told all spots had been sold, but other potential advertisers are being told otherwise.

The First Amendment does not apply here as the ad does not voice an opinion, only a toll-free number to get a date. I suspect that as from legal Nevada brothels would also be rejected, as well as any for phone sex.
That category of ads exists late night. The Super Bowl is a family event.
There are TV "Talk Shows" that address sexual matters.
Capitalistic CBS can choose the ads it wants to carry within the law. It does not "push the envelope".
Speakeasy also does not "push the envelope".
