I saw this great little video last week over at
ensouling's blog. It was made recently in Ireland as part of an anti-homophobic bullying campaign.
I love that it teaches the important role that bystanders must play to end any kind of bigotry or prejudice.

Oh Debra that gave me goosebumps and was wonderful to watch.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more on the point that bystanders play in any kind of bigotry.
ReplyDeleteI tagged you in my blog today : )

Well that left me teary eyed, but in a good way. .I DO wish that the would run this campaign on American television.
ReplyDeleteSadly, there would be people who would make derogatory comments about it (and are such dolts, that they wouldn't recognize themselves if they slapped themselves in the face), but if it gets through to a handful of people every time it is shown, then it is working.
Lovely. Just lovely. And just what I wanted to see after reading this article.

ReplyDeleteYikes! I wasn't expecting that, Debra. Left me feeling happy and a bit sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, I will 'pass' this along. Thanks. Jim
what a fabulous video. glad to see that ireland is finally doing something positive. an old irishman once told me that the definition of a gay irishman was one that preferred woman to drink.
ReplyDeleteCheers for the guts and courage it takes to stand up and protect innocent victims of hate.
ReplyDeleteGreat campaign.
