NEW YORK — For the first time, iconic jeweler Tiffany & Co. is featuring a same-sex couple in an engagement advertising campaign — and the two men featured are not professional models, but a real-life New York City couple sitting outside of their real New York apartment.

The campaign comes on the heels of a discrimination suit brought against another iconic retailer — Saks Fifth Avenue — by a transgender employee, in which Saks argued that transgender individuals are not protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
