Billboard Shows Donald Trump, Ted Cruz About To Kiss
This giant billboard of GOP candidate Donald Trump and Sen.
All delegates, superdelegates, former college basketball coaches and garden variety political junkies attending next week’s Republican National Convention will be greeted by an unusual and unavoidable sight: Sen.
A billboard reading “Love trumps Hate”.
Planting Peace calls for the immediate change in the Republican Party platform with regard to our LGBT family and LGBT rights.
Looming large over southbound traffic not far from where the Republican Party (or at least a smattering of its members) will gather Monday for its 2016 convention, the sign will no doubt also ruffle a number of feathers. “LGBT children hear these messages telling them they are nothing but second-class citizens and are left feeling somewhat broken or ‘less than'”.
“We challenge the GOP to think about how many times their children could hear messages like these and not be impacted or question their value and worth?” “These messages sink our young people into a spiral of depression and directly correlate to queer youth attempting or actually committing suicide”.
In a strong gesture to spread a positive message against homophobia, the image on the Cleveland billboard recalls the viral street art image of Trump kissing Vladimir Putin in Lithuania.
“The objective is to call out the Republican Party for their recent anti-LGBT stances”.
“When children are dying because of negative messages, then it’s time to change the message”, Jackson said.
The non-profit organization previously sponsored a billboard in North Carolina blasting the anti-queer House Bill 2, another in MS in response to the state’s “religious liberty” legislation and a third in the hometown of anti-same sex marriage clerk Kim Davis. “You are not alone; you have a community of support behind you, and we will continue to stand with you”.
Planting Peace told Mashable that the OH billboard will remain up for one month.
