With all of the support that’s coming from the sports world right now, I love this new ad from the Swedish mobile carrier Halebop. It features a gay hockey player in the locker room with his teammates. The ad and the english translation are after the jump!
We’re seeing more LGBT-inclusive commercials, and I’m loving it. Last month’s highlight was the kindle ad, now check out the Microsoft Outlook commercial below:
Even Quebec launched an anti-homophobia campaign showing those in the LGBT community in perfectly natural situations. See a running theme? To be gay or lesbian is natural!
The Quebec government has just launched a new five-year, $7.1 million, campaign that fights homophobia. There are radio ads, tv spots, and an interactive website that aims makes the user take a look at just how open-minded they are.
The ad’s are nice, they depict a gay guy/girl in an everyday situation, then at then end they kiss their significant other. It’s not raunchy, but it’s not a quick peck either.

So simple, so beautiful!
Just a few days ago the Respect for Marriage Coalition released a new ad featuring statements that President Obama, former First Lady Laura Bush, former VP Dick Chaney, and Colin Powell have made publicly supporting same-sex marriage. The ad shows a clip of Mrs. Bush talking to Larry King on CNN in 2010 saying, “When couples are committed to each other and love each other then they ought to have the same sort of rights that everyone has.”
Now it seems Mrs. Bush is not so keen on her previous remarks, and has asked Respect For Marriage to remove her from the ad. Continue reading

Stonewall, the UK based gay rights lobby group and charity is getting a lot of attention. First, passengers at the Rotherham Interchange were held up for twenty minutes while a driver argued with another, refusing to drive the bus because of an ad on the side reading “Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!”
The Daily Mail reports a spokesman for bus operator First Group says the incident has been resolved, but did not give any details. The spokesman stated: “We are aware of an incident involving one of our drivers refusing to drive a bus at Rotherham Interchange. We have spoken to the driver in question and the matter has now been resolved. We would like to apologise to any customers that were affected during this isolated incident.”
On a similar note, in preparation for Anti-Bullying Week 2012 (Nov. 19-23) Stonewall has released a video with Sir Ian McKellen.
