It’s not that often you see a PSA that could quite happily be included in the programme of a gay short film screening, but that’s true of ‘Stand Up!’, made by directors Anna Rodgers & Aoife Kelleher for the Irish BeLonG To Youth Services to support their annual Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Weeks.
It’s a call to stand up for homophobic bullying, with a young couple facing abuse for showing affection, but then an unexpected response comes from their schoolmates.
The Stand Up! campaign promotes friendship amongst young people as a way to combat homophobic bullying, which sounds like a pretty good idea to me. You can find out more here.
