The “It Gets Better” Project
In response to a recent rise in gay teen suicides, Dan Savage has started the It Gets Better project. Participants are encouraged to make videos to gay youth telling them life really does get better after high school. You can upload your videos here!
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

dooflotchie 2 years agoMan, I totally heart Dan Savage. He is pure awesome covered in a coat of win. The part in their video where Terry does a facepalm talking about the cheesy when-we-met moment was hilarious because I found myself doing a facepalm too and I really LOL’ed seriously loud when I looked up and saw him doing it too. I wonder if I should make a video for their channel even though I’m a straight woman…because you don’t have to be gay to be the #1 target for schoolyard bullies, I found that out waaaaay before high school. It doesn’t really matter if the bullies are calling you a “faggot” or a “devil worshiper”, (I got that because I was a huge metalhead before it became popular) it still hurts and sucks no matter what.
