This is a spot from Argentina which includes a transgender woman. It talks about tolerance and teach us that all people are the same even if they are straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
I wish only the rest of the world was as understanding or compassionate as this commercial displayed.
That was awesome. Here's hoping we're moving in that direction everywhere.

It was corny, it was predictable.
It was sensitive, it was touching.
I still cried.

I watched on Bilerico and I thought it was very touching. It was a commercial, could we have found anything that similar in our country (USA)?
Very good. Now if we could get something like that to play through out the world. Maybe

I doubt it. With groups like those in Gainesville and Utah, I'd be surprised. If someone did do it, it'd probably be yanked so fast..
You mentioned Utah. Well, on the Bilerico they also had a look at who looks at pornography the most, which state has the most pornography on their computers. Well, it turns out to be Utah. It also said that eight out of ten of the states that backed McCain were the highest pornograph users. Look it up on Bilerico
That's fine. Doesn't mean they still won't discriminate against trans individuals and view the ad as something unacceptable.
I think we should give applause to Banco Prvincia TP of Argentina for this progressive ad. We hear so much about the negative effects of advertising on our culture, it's really refreshing to see the medium used to improve relations between people. If I lived in that country, I'd open an account just to thank them.

That 'study' has a flaw in it large enough to drive a semi though, sideways.
And why are you trusting some bank in Argentina not to be acting like banks everywhere else, through all time, which is to say they are lying. They will do or say anything to get your money.
