Hilary Duff Tears Up Over ‘That’s So Gay’ PSA Reflection

You remember this commercial.

The skirt as a top. The jeans compliment. “Knock it off.” Every millennial who had a TV in 2008 has this thing burned into their brain.

Duff filmed that PSA for GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. It was the Ad Council’s first-ever campaign on LGBTQ+ issues in its entire 80-year history. The strategy was specific: don’t target the bullies. Target the bystanders. Get the kids in the middle to say something.

It worked.
