This is such a powerful message for GLBT kids. I love Dan Savage for starting the It Gets Better Project.
If you’re gay or lesbian or bi or trans and you’ve ever read about a kid like Billy Lucas and thought, “Fuck, I wish I could’ve told him that it gets better,” this is your chance. We can’t help Billy, but there are lots of other Billys out there—other despairing LGBT kids who are being bullied and harassed, kids who don’t think they have a future—and we can help them.
They need to know that it gets better. Submit a video. Give them hope.
Beautiful.
UPDATE: here’s a video submitted by Tim Gunn describing his suicide attempt at age 17.
