I personally feel as though the dull tones of this photograph highlight the issues with society in a powerful, effective way. Sandler clearly wants to create controversy and raise awareness of issues, and he does this by focusing on two separate signs. On the left, you can just about see “GOD GAVE ADAM EVE, NOT STEVE!” and on the right, you can see a contrasting message “GOD REALLY LOVES HOMOSEXUALS, GOD REALLY HATES HOMOSEXUALITY” a lot clearer. He also uses a low angle to capture the whole scene, which also shows the man speaking as being quite intimidating and dominant.
