It's Time

I got a bit choked up and I'm not expecting my period or anything. What do people think?

Re: It's Time

That was amazing.

I have thoughts on the whole premise of the campaign, but I think perhaps I I'll save them until I'm done sniffling and smiling at the shear loveliness of it.

It's lovely isn't it and as a TV ad where you don't know what's coming I think quite persuasive.

And me. Didn't think it would at the start but it hits you at the hand holding with the music.  The whole world and their dog are on fb so I think posting them there is must for these.

Re: It's Time

It's so beautiful.

I think they only way to push through discrimination is to make people feel... There's been a lot of great social media on this, but I think the campaign Bobby linked to has a real shot cause they aim to put their stuff on tv. It's great when you share stuff on social media, but you keep sharing things around a small cirlce. Most conservative folk in Australia watch television, and a campaign like that on air could really change a few peoples minds. Damn 'getup' are cool!

Zack Wahls speech was also pretty amazing in it impact in regards to this issue.

we gotta win this one folks! not that i necessarily agree with marriage as an instituition but hell, everyone should be able to if they wanna

Re: It's Time

I know TV can be exploitative and cruel with manipulative editing, desperrate for ratings to show advertisers, but I like this, it's only disapointing in that I'm certain a male waiter wouldn't be physically touched by an assertive customer to move them away from the scene and the New york set up was engineered (i.e choice of diner) to exagerate the fail for New York to provide a surprising contrast with Texas. But anyway despite all that I found this moving and hopeful.
