Video: Turin’s gay film festival ad highlights unusual taboo

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/04/19/video-turins-gay-film-festival-ad-highlights-unusual-taboo/

The citizens of a progressive Italian town face the ultimate public taboo in the surprise ending to a video promoting the Turin GLBT film festival.

Set simply to Chopin’s second nocturne, the video’s message is universal across languages, portraying a town where gay and transgender people can live openly, but some things are never palatable.

Does the film make a valid point about the need to maintain progressive attitudes, or are some subjects destined to be hidden, even in the most free-thinking society?
