This campaign celebrates World Pride and launches Airbnb's #HostWithPride campaign to support travelers who are part of the LGBT community. There are still over 75 countries around the world that consider homosexuality to be illegal and Airbnb is working to reduce and eventually eliminate this number.
The campaign video features couples who have experienced the harsh reality of travelling as a gay couple to different parts of the world where they are not accepted. Airbnb sheds some light on the equality issues that surround travelling as part of a same-sex couple.
The ultimate goal for the Airbnb #HostWithPride campaign is to eliminate these equality issues and encourage travel throughout the LGBT community. This ad seeks to combat the negative mindset of countries that don't accept homosexuality by "creating a world of more acceptance, together."
