New Ad Tells Same-Sex Couples To "Hold Tight"

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) is responsible for this new ad which highlights the anxiety many LGBT couples may experience when engaging in the simple act of holding hands

The message from ANZ?

"Hold tight."

I can admit that hubby Michael and I rarely hold hands having lived a lifetime of fear of being gay-bashed.

I'm not proud of that fact, but thanks to societal pressures it almost seems like a "forced" display of affection for us now. Maybe that will change...

Thanks to ANZ for sending this message.
