Artists are still turning anti-gay hatred into stunning art to mark Pride
By Will Stroude
Pride in London might be over for another year, but sadly the battle against online hatred and homophobia remains an all-year-round affair.
So it’s just as well that a group of fabulous artists are continuing to turn anti-gay remarks into stunning works of art as part of Smirnoff’s #ChooseLove campaign.
We’ve already seen some of their fierce and funny work (and if you haven’t be sure to check it out here and here) but there’s still plenty more to enjoy. Here are some of the latest pieces we’re loving…
