Free Hugs Campaign - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I love watching this vid... it makes my eyes tear up everytime. The story that is told in the vid is incredible.

+ YouTube Video

I love you guys.

Alexander · 25th Jun 2008, 07:03 PM

awww, we love you too!

That video is so adorable and bittersweet.

We should start an International Free Hugs Society.

EDIT: You know what would be awesome? If a GSA or something did a hug day and they all went out and spread lovejoypeace throughout a town or a mall or something. It would be very newsworthy and give us some good publicity for the TRUE homosexual agenda of LOVE. *schemes* I might just set one up at my school.

There was a boy at a local arts event the one time I went with a sign like that... I refused to hug him >_<

What was the reason for your refusal? If I may be so bold to ask.

TriBi · 25th Jun 2008, 07:24 PM

That guy is Australian - and the band that used him in the clip got an enormous number of hits from this clip.

Oh - and he has done pretty well on TV chat shows as well...

He looked 10 or 11, I just felt weird that he went around asking everyone to hug him, even the old perverts >_< So i did it out of protest.

I remember finding this video so long ago... then I forgot about it... and now I remembered it... and I am addicted to it again... such a passionate man...

JeremyB · 25th Jun 2008, 07:36 PM

I saw Sick Puppies live in November. ^_^
I got a "free hugs" shirt at the concert and it's fun to wear at school. XP
Hurray for free hugs

MeskElil · 25th Jun 2008, 07:40 PM

YES!!!
The world needs more people like that.

Hoppip · 25th Jun 2008, 09:39 PM

Wow. That was sincerely amazing, especially since other people joined in and they even PETITIONED.

That was incredible, though.

And heartwarming. ^_^

GMSuerte · 25th Jun 2008, 09:45 PM

Same here. I showed that video to my mother once, and she was in tears.
