Tough-talking comedienne Wanda Sykes tells teens to “knock it off” in the first PSA campaign from The Advertising Council and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network to address the use of anti-gay language. Most kids don’t think about the consequences of their speech, but this spot succinctly reminds young viewers that what they think is harmless fun is actually insensitive and hurtful. Teens in a pizza place make fun of a countertop statue, calling it “so gay” when Sykes gets up from the booth behind them to implore, “Please don’t say that.”
