Congratulations on your New Home Lesbian greeting
Nov 3^rd, 2009, 3:54pm

from a shopper...

"I was unable to find lesbian new home. I am just looking for a quirky card for two lesbian friends who have moved into a new home. They are are aged mid 20's and do have a broad sense of humour. I am looking for something appropriate and am quite open minded, anything that may have a gay or female theme."

The shopper will find these cards here:
Occasion >> Congratulations >> New Home >> Gay / Lesbian

Can I please have my card 520683 re-reviewed for this. I got an email this morning from the reviewer asking me to:

Based on our review process, your card has been Returned for Edits. Please resubmit your card after correcting the following issues:

Please Note: Please add Gay / Lesbian specific text to this card and resubmit it. thank you

There is a pair of breasts on the front!....isn't that something that lesbians like? And all the wording on the front of the card as well as the inside has exactly what the buyer asked for....just because I didn't use the words "lesbian" or "gay" doesn't mean that the card is not suitable for this request. Roll Eyes

I haven't made the changes that were asked but would like the card reconsidered as it is...to place "lesbian and gay" on the card wording just does not make sense to the card. undecided

I've just had a look at the other approved cards and there is one there, the very first card that got approved and has no lesbian/gay text to it either so how is it that got passed and mine did not? cry

We have had this problem before re: if it doesn't say "gay/lesbian" .... then it is not 'gay enough'

i was hoping this was getting better but doesnt seem to be.... i know this is not probably proper posting place but wanted to say - it is disappointing to hear how she described her card "picture of breasts" and it was rejected.....
wonder if it would be rejected if it were picture of breasts for 2 straight men that were moving to a frat house or something like that

Ah well, what do you do? Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,
I saw that, sorry. To keep your joke yet work around the adult content guidelines perhaps you can use a different image. I was thinking the key to the humor in your card for this market isn't a new pair of door knockers but TWO sets of door knockers.

I'll agree with Louise - I've had some issues about cards not being 'gay' enough...at times I've had to school the reviewers on slang terms and symbolism...or add those things to cards when I feel it isn't warrented just to get the 'gay' label...I guess they can't take the word of a gay artist when we're targeting our market...

ie: My avatar is 'Rudy Rooster' who for all intents and purposes is a gay character with partner Perry Penguin - but if I were to submit a card with just Rudy on the front and no other glaring gay symbols or words I would not be granted the 'gay' or 'GLBT' label...you can understand my issues... cry

I'm sure it's a slippery slope but it can be frustrating when submitting...I'd be happy to be a 'gay resource' when reviwers are having trouble granting the label...
