Description
The colors of the rainbow are the ultimate symbol of freedom for the LGBTQ community. And more recently, they’ve been embraced by a wider community with great fanfare.
But not everyone is celebrating. The fact is 40% of homeless teens in the US who’ve come out were thrown out by their parents onto the streets.
We decided to transform this icon of liberation to demonstrate the real truth. We created The Thrown Out Flag. Made of discarded fabric in the traditional rainbow colors, it’s embraced by each teen in this outdoor poster campaign. Each stain, rip and tear represents their struggle. Each grasp of the fabric embodies their hope to find a new future of acceptance, tolerance and love.
This professional campaign titled 'The Thrown Out Flag' was published in United States in January, 2019. It was created for the brand: Out Not Down, by ad agency: Saatchi & Saatchi. This Print medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted over 5 years ago.
