Habbo Hotel and the Matthew Shepard Foundation between then have enough real heart to pump enough commitment and inspiration to bring a virtual cause to life.

The cause is real. It's Erase Hate, an effort between the teen social site and the peace-love-and-understanding nonprofit, which aims to provide a forum for dignity and respect twixt teens through a series of conversations among users in the Habbo.com InfoBus.

The luv bus launches July 7.
