When they renovated our office space at the Episcopal Church Center they consolidated the Church Center offices. As a result we had two-and-a-half floors available to lease. The Ad Council currently occupies that space. Their employees have come to a couple of our Community Gatherings, and we were invited to an open house in their space. Many of us on the Church Center Staff also subscribe to one of their mail lists.
Today we received an email highlighting some of their campaigns. The first one was the Think Before You Speak campaign sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. The email featured three short videos from the campaign. The first one features Hilary Duff.
The second features Wanda Sykes
And here's the third one.
Having grown up with a brother who used "gay" as interchangeable with "stupid," this obviously isn't a new issue. I haven't heard him use "gay" for "stupid" in many years, and I haven't heard his kids use the word that way either--at least around their Uncle Jeff.
Maybe there's hope.
Peace,
Jeffri
