Esurance on Monday kicked off its
#EqualDreams social media campaign with an adorable ad featuring
youth discussing their future wedding day while attending a lesbian
couple's nuptials.
“When I kiss the bride it's gonna
both be exciting and disgusting,” a young boy says in the 3-minute
ad.
“My wedding is going to be so
awesome, because I'm going to have a volcano with lava pouring
everywhere and then we're going to use the lava rocks to have a rock
fight,” another boy says.
One of the brides says that as a child
she was unable to dream about her big day.
“When I was younger, having a wedding
wasn't really a part of my future because I knew that I was different
and I didn't see anyone around me that was like me. Who, you know,
we're two women living together as a married couple. I just couldn't
picture it,” she says.
“Everybody's dreams should be allowed
to come true,” a girl says, “because everybody should be happy.”
In a press release, Esurance said that
it extends the married rate to gay couples even in states that do not
allow same-sex marriage.
“Esurance was one of the first car
insurance companies to extend the married rate to LGBT customers,”
the company said. “Something it started doing in 2011.”
