    Here is an interesting development in La Belle Province:

    Québec Policy against homophobia

    New television ads will soon start appearing in the media on the topic of homophobia, this is a first for North America.

    It does indeed get better!

  2. How nice of them. Unfortunate that this is limited to Québec, given the situation throughout North America.

    Though it is in Canada, isn`t it? Canada has always been awesome :grin:

    That`s my dream vacation country. I really want to go there and experience Canadian nature.

    It's a shame this isn't a national initiative; but as long as the campaign is widely accessible (especially with the website featured on that article and by endless poetry), I'd say it's a good first step to share an understanding with not only North America, but also the world.

    I wish there were more stuff like this, like I don't think I've ever been watching tv and just seen an anti homophobia commercial ever.

    I hope they do commercials with different transgender people at some point.
