Hornet: True Colors

Social network for Gay community, Hornet highlights the inspiring stories of LGBTQ individuals who empowered the gay community.

The campaign called 'True Colors' features a collection of colorized black-and-white 19th and 20th century photos of LGBTQ personalities. The video's chronological spans subjects from the once-romantically-linked Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, through 20th century images of WWII service members to early trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and culminating in a photo-to-video transition featuring present-day married couple, Rob Smith and Misha Safronov, of Instagram fame.

The video also features Cyndi Lauper's 1980s classic True Colors performed by the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles.
