The PSA is a follow up to the Ad Council’s viral hit from 2015 also titled “Love Has No Labels” that used an X-ray machine to prove that underneath our skin, we are all the same regardless of who we love. It should be about love, love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion and any other labels, because the second any of us judge people based on those labels, we’re not really being patriotic are we?” “Patriotism shouldn’t just be about pride of country. After all, what is more American than freedom to celebrate what makes us, us.”Īnd while labels have their role to help connect us to who we are, love must transcend labels–and so must patriotism, as Cena points out: “We know that labels don’t devalue us, they help define us, keeping us dialed into our cultures and our beliefs in who we are as Americans. While the PSA celebrates love beyond labels, Cena suggests that labels should actually be celebrated.
