In honor of today’s Spirit Day, I wanted to share an anti-bullying public service announcement from my hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It’s called Ouch! Bullying Hurts!, and it was produced by Green Bay equality advocate Joey Taylor. The video was nominated for a 2011 Emmy Award in the Community/Public Service (PSAs): Single Spot Campaign category, and it’s a wonderful example of a community standing together against bullying.
We hope you’ll like, watch, and share. By the way, if you look closely, you just might see a familiar face.
Yes bullying hurts. I’ve experienced it throughout my life of 62 years. It seems the haters can’t clear their minds from same sex sexual contact thoughts. After all, they produced all we unacceptable (to them) beings. I have been with the same person for over 36 years, yet we are still treated like third class nothings by family and strangers alike. I am on a fixed low income from VA, would like to relocate elsewhere. Where in America can two gay people go for peace, like minded people and affordability. Anyone have an idea?
Alan,try northeastern PA, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton area. One will find creeps anywhere, but this area seems to be a tolerant one.
Houston, friendly, low cost living. I too am on a VA income.
Vermont isn’t free — but it is not as expensive as the major cities either.
Another tear jerker. But we are making progress big time with videos like this, all the work and support of you folks at TWO, plus powerful talkers like Chris Kluwe speaking out in his blunt, no-uncertain-terms language. In my own little way from Cambodia, I forward as many articles and videos to everyone I can.
