Queer robot visibility advanced today when a Calvin Klein ad surfaced featuring supermodel Bella Hadid making out with digital influencer Lil Miquela. 
"Life is about opening doors," Hadid says, as Lil Miquela strolls towards her. "Creating new dreams you never knew could exist," Hadid says before the two peer into each other eyes and kiss before the lights dim.
The ad, part of the "I Speak My Truth" campaign, encourages people (and, ostensibly, shoppers) to embrace their vulnerabilites, according to Elle.
Aside from Lil Miquela, a digital art project launched in 2016 that now commands 1.5 million Instagram followers, stars like Billie Eilish, Nick Centineo, Shawn Mendes, and transgender actress Indya Moore are part of "I Speak My Truth." 
Watch Hadid and Lil Miquela get intimate below.
