Watch: Gay And Straight Couples Kissing In New Beautiful Benetton Video
Benetton, as part of its highly-controversial UnHate campaign — which features world political and religious leaders photoshopped to appear as though they are kissing — has also released this beautiful video ad that shows both gay and straight couples kissing, and other groups, like unshirted football players, hugging. The ad cements the UnHate Foundation‘s central themes.

“What does UNHATE mean?,” the Foundation’s website asks. “UN-hate. Stop hating, if you were hating. Unhate is a message that invites us to consider that hate and love are not as far away from each other as we think. Actually, the two opposing sentiments are often in a delicate and unstable balance. Our campaign promotes a shift in the balance: don’t hate, Unhate.”
The campaign also features an interactive social media aspect, the “kiss wall,” where supporters can upload their own photos.
