As I watched Monday Night Football, I was continually assaulted by ads promoting the diversity message “Love has no labels.” <\/p>\n

What the heck is going on?<\/p>\n

I Googled the ads and found this on the ADL website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Ad Council\u2019s Love Has No Labels is a public service advertising campaign that encourages people to examine and challenge their own implicit bias. The PSAs feature real people filmed at a live event in which a large x-ray screen depicts the people only as two skeletons embracing. As the skeleton images separate and walk out from behind the screen, the audience discovers who they really are. This process occurs a number of times, each highlighting different pairings of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, ability and age to encourage viewers’ to take a closer look at their own expectations and implicit bias.<\/p>\n

ADL has developed two resource guides to facilitate conversation and deepen young people’s thinking on these topics.<\/p>\n
