My family and I took part in a campaign put on by the Human Rights Campaign - and they just launched our video. Let me know what you think! I am the one wearing glasses.

Very nice! That's awesome! How did you get asked to be in the commercial?

I had written a blog post to help support LGBT rights for the HRC when they opened an office in my home state (Mississippi). From there they asked if we would like to be part of the campaign.

I thought the OP had a link to the commercial, but it doesn't seem to.

I don't have Flash, so I don't know if the embedded video works, but it's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJhHst1BZNA

That commercial has renewed my faith in humanity. I needed to see your commercial tonight. Keep up the good work! :D

Thanks everybody! It has been pretty tough - since most of the population in Mississippi has a really strong stance against equal rights for the LGBT community.

We just want to do what is right.
