What is love? Love is an intense feeling of affection; you can’t help whom you love, it sort of just happens.
Love has no gender, no disability, no race and no age.It is just about two people who care deeply for one another.
Longwood University’s Student Diversity and Inclusion Council recreated the infamous video that has gone viral, “Love has No Labels,” on April 8 on Brock Commons.
The video is a way to allow people to recognize that love is love no matter what assets are at fault, and for people to also recognize the truth about bias and prejudice.
According to Emily Grandfield, one of the Public Relations chair,“It was a good turnout!” “We had a good mix of people who had planned to come, but also people who walked up.”
The reason SDIC decided to proceed forward with the video was to allow for people to recognize that prejudice hurts, and people have a tendency to experience bias first hand.
Skyler Carpenter, the co-chair for SDIC was the one who had the idea to make the video.
“I felt that something as influential and informative as that video should be shared throughout campus where it could directly affect people, rather than just being shared on social media sites,” said Carpenter.
In regards to the Longwood community, Carpenter felt very strongly that the campus and its students should be aware of these issues. “I believe it’s necessary for Longwood students to be aware of issues regarding diversity, stereotypes and labels associated with different groups of people.”
She continued to mention that their mission is to “promote and integrate these principles” on Longwood’s campus.
