The Dutch Children’s Ombudsman, a governmental child-rights group in Holland is tackling bullying in a new PSA, and they’re not pussyfooting around.
In the above clip, created by media firm Lemon Scented Tea and directed by Anne de Clercq, we follow the story of Dave, a Dutch 16-year-old who endures daily beatings and harassment at school because he’s gay. It’s one of four videos created as part of the “Every child has the right to…” campaign that puts children’s rights in the spotlight.
What’s truly unique, though, is that these stories are true. In fact, that’s David himself you see from behind in the video. Queerty reader David Pfister, who brought the campaign to our attention, says, “the film it is shaking up Holland.”

*Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a new HIV prevention strategy in which HIV-negative people use HIV antiretrovirals (ARVs), drugs usually used to treat HIV infection, to reduce their risk of becoming infected with HIV. Trials among gay men, other men who have sex with men as well as heterosexuals,have shown that PrEP can reduce HIV infection risk – especially when PrEP is taken consistently, and if condoms and other safer sex strategies are used as well. Another study is now underway to test if PrEP works among injection drug users with results expected in 2012.

In light of the latest round of daunting HIV numbers from the CDC regarding gay black men, we want to share this lovely video about strength and resilience from our friends in Atlanta. Being black and gay aint all a horror show - despite what the headlines say over and over and over. Sure, there are real challenges, but they are only part of the story.
