Celebrities are experts at Making the World a Better Place™. Which is lucky for us, because we’d never know how intolerant we are if not for stuff like this:

Oooo, busted!
@gabrielmalor @redsteeze how is this not offensive to real gays?

After putting up with bullshit from straight people for most of our lives, we have a high tolerance. https://t.co/X3oLMiHwqz

Heh.
For real, though: Judging by the reaction on Twitter, it seems like the effort didn’t really produce the desired effect.

@jamesnichols @HuffingtonPost @EvaLongoria I'm gay myself, and I say why not get some real live gay girls to do it instead?!

@jamesnichols @EvaLongoria there is such thing as actual homosexual couples to include. This is almost Christian Bale as Moses bad.
