how to double your collection.

this campaign by bianco footwear feels lovely in the midst of all the homophobia visible in this world. it's a brave move that just has to be admired.

the fact that a group of religious lunatics celebrating atrocities as vengeance from god to countries accepting homosexuality can travel around the world and get press coverage saddens me. (note: i will not post a link for them here because i don't think they deserve any kind of increase in exposure.) the fact that some people seem to get away with homophobic recruitment policies because people seem to find it compelling to think it's acceptable they're "just keeping their subscribers and advertisers happy". it makes me wonder which part of the need for anti-discrimination laws does the general public not understand: if people did discriminate because of good reasons and if this was acceptable, we would not need legislation on the matter in the first place. we're not allowed to discriminate because the reasons that make some people unhappy, such as open homosexuality, are not considered legitimate. it really is pretty simple.

bianco's ads consist of pretty pictures and a couple of videos. they're just beautiful. there's hope for a more tolerant and accepting world, somewhere.
