Today we launched the #IPEEWITHLGBT campaign with the ACLU of Texas and Legacy Community Health. With participation from five-time Academy Award-nominated director and Austin local, Richard Linklater, this campaign stands against the bathroom bill and stands for equality.

Advertising Age caught up with GSD&M’s CEO, Duff Stewart, to chat about the negative impacts this bill will have on Texas businesses and the Texas community. Read a portion of the story here:

“Discriminatory legislation is not what this country is about,” said Duff Stewart, CEO of Austin, Texas-based GSD&M. “We need to speak up when we can.”

GSD&M has been no stranger to getting involved in political and civil rights issues, having joined the group Texas Competes two years ago, which aims to push against discriminatory measures and support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Mr. Stewart said the shop jumped on board, on a pro-bono basis, for the “I Pee With LGBT” effort because the bill “will hurt Texas and keep Texas from landing businesses and it’s hateful.”
