An ad for Google's latest iteration of
its wildly popular Nexus line of smartphones includes a gay couple.
In the 30-second ad, titled Google
Nexus 5: I Do, a woman instructs her Nexus 5 phone to display her
wedding photos.
“OK Google, show me my wedding
photos,” she says as the device beeps to her command.
A collage of weddings harmonized to a
track from Dutch 20-year-old singer-songwriter Tessa
Rose Jackson's debut album Songs from my Sandbox follows.
Over Jackson's lyrics from the single
Now
I See – “But now I see; You're the one for me” –
happy couples exchange vows and play hosts to their wedding guests.
In one shot, two suited men happily
hold hands as they make their way to City Hall. (The video is

Google has a long history of supporting
gay rights.
