WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Homofiles Ungdomstelefon, High School Dance

Members:

A boy is watching another boy and a girl dancing. As the couple finish the dance and sit down, the boy gathers up his courage and goes over to ask for a dance.

He walks up to the couple and reaches out his hand -- to the other boy, who looks up, a bit surprised.

A caption appears that says, "You don't have to be that brave." Then a telephone number appears for the gay youth group.

I liked it, we are so uptight about sex in the US. If we had ads like this in the States when I was growing up...maybe I wouldn't be alone today and would have secured my man in silver (it's my fantasy) armor by now.

It is a brilliant and impacting advert and the song brings it closer to the audience.

I don't know - the idea was cute, but the kid didn't do such a good job with the acting. The way he was looking at his crush seemed more sinister to me than sweet.
