(click image) Not that there was much of a debate, but for you former schoolgirls of a certain age who stuck your fingers in your ears and sang "LA-LA-LA-LA" every time somebody proposed that Barbie's "boyfriend" preferred the company of boys, this ad image from the 80s should've/would've defeated you. It's not really the earring, per se, no, it's that fierce lavender vest and matching see-thru mesh shirt. Check and fucking Mate (image via). Previously: Barbie's new friend Negro Francie.

You know, the only ken I ever had was Figure Skating Ken, so I was already fairly aware that he had some stereotypical gay leanings...
Ah, yes, Earring Magic Ken. The doll in the package looked different -- instead of that Barbie charm thing hanging from his neck, there was a cock ring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earring_Magic_Ken
Ken's been out for a long time.
