Description
Coming out can be difficult and complicated, and it’s not something most cis-gendered, heterosexual Canadians have insight into. According to a recent study from Egale Canada, over 80% of LGBTQ+ individuals have felt distress related to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and 54% haven’t come out to their colleagues for fear of being rejected or bullied. To bring attention to this issue, we created a film made entirely of user submitted footage that looks like it’s speaking to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. But in reality, it highlights the emotional struggles we’ve all had during the COVID-19 quarantine, in order to show its parallel with the much more challenging isolation LGBTQ+ people go through when they can’t come out as who they are.
This professional campaign titled 'Coming Out' was published in Canada in June, 2020. It was created for the brand: Egale Canada Human Rights Trust, by ad agency: Taxi. This Film medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted almost 4 years ago by Creative Director: Allen Kwong of Taxi.
