What do you think of this ad?

Whats your thought on it?

amanda c, I think its a little of both.

Answer 1

I think it's beautiful and a brave thing to do.

I hope people aren't going to trash it and say, "They're evil"...the text at the end of the video names those who say such things as the ones gays should not be afraid of. There is so much hatred towards gays, and it's terrible; why should any-one be hated for their love of another? Gays do not stop straight people from marrying, so what right to Christians have to stop gays from marrying?

I'm done with my rant...for now.

Answer 2

Honestly, the ending made me laugh because it was unexpected. I thought the boy watching the couple was jealous, not gay, and was about to go over and start some trouble. I guess that shows how heterosexually biased I am. Although, it wouldn't be very intelligent for a gay boy to ask a guy to dance when he's with a girl.

Answer 3

I think it is great in theory to make young kids who are gay know there is nothing wrong with it, however, realistically I cannot imagine any boy (or girl) in middle school (judging by the looks of the kids in the ad) would ever ask a person of the same sex to dance at a school dance.

Answer 4

I think it's well done, but sad to say, it might be giving gay kids advice that will lead to them getting assaulted by homophobes. It's still dangerous to admit that you're gay in many places in our society. It shouldn't be, but it is.

Answer 5

Nicely done. Although as long as bigots are among us willing to commit acts of violence against someone merely because of their sexual orientation, there is something to fear.

Answer 6

i am a little confused as to who they are directing this at. are they telling gay people not to be afraid, or telling straight people not to be afraid of gay people? either way i suppose it is a step in the right direction.
