Title: It Gets Better....
Post by: Sophia on September 29, 2010, 06:03:23 pm
   "it gets better" is a Youtube campaign, that's been spreading around on site. Which perpose has been to help young gay teenagers to see that even if it feels that you are alone and everything are against you, there are lights in the end of the tunnel. Reason for this campaign is the Indiana teenage boy; Billy, who decided to committed suicide after being taunting by his classmates, because of his sexual orientation. I felt that this campaign needed to have a little space here at bettermost as well, so here you go. So feel free to post anything you like...




Darren Hayes (Savage garden) are one of those people who have decided to share his message in this campaign.

(Unfortunately i am not sure whats wrong with my link function because I ain't able to to see what I link. If someone knows whats wrong, please let me now.)

I've talked about this on my blog, I'm contemplating doing my own video on YouTube.  I have a Webcam and it would be easy to do.

Perhaps this weekend.

I am looking forward to see it.  :)
Its such a great thing and I am glad that you feel you can share your story.
I am sure a lot of people need to hear there are hopes outwhere, even if we live in a heteronorm society.

What a great idea this campaign is, and much needed.   I've seen a few of the videos now. 

Also, Dan and Terry are a beautiful happy couple.

I thought it was strange that you hadn't mentioned it somewhere,  :)

 I tried to use the search function here at bettermost, to find a thread about; it gets better... unfortunately it ain't that good on finding the right thing.  ;D
