torquillOne of the kind people at the potluck last night mentioned this, and I looked it up today:
Dan Savage and his partner Terry tell LGBT youth that "It gets better" after high school.
They're hoping that YouTube can reach some of the horribly isolated and alienated LGBT kids who don't have community centers, support groups, major gay-friendly cities, or even supportive families. People are encouraged to post their own videos explaining that life gets better as an LGBT adult, in an effort to cut down on teen suicides. Dan and Terry's own video is pretty poignant by itself... I could have used that when I was a teen pariah, even a straight one.
Let's get the word out.
