Logo has launched a public service announcement in response to last month’s hate-crime murder of 15-year-old gay student Lawrence King and other young hate-crime victims.
The PSA seems aimed at young people. Many of Logo’s sister brands across MTV Networks will carry it, though Logo is making it available to other networks as well. The spot features Portia de Rossi, Janet Jackson, and a whole bunch of other famous people outside my sphere of pop-culture knowledge.
Sharing the spot within the LGBT community here is preaching to the choir; perhaps those of you with teens can ask if they’ll circulate it on MySpace, Facebook, or wherever the kids of all orientations and identities are hanging out these days. You can also find other ways to take action at LOGOonline.com and at GLSEN’s Remembering Lawrence site.
T.R. Knight looks really different here. Guess I’m so used to him frozen as George in season 2 of Grey’s.
(highly intelligent comment, I know)
