Every year, many LGBT teens end their own lives because out of despair at having to face daily harassment in high school. Dan Savage and his boyfriend, Terry Miller, have produced a video with an important message to LGBT teens: It gets better. There is life after high school, it can be wonderful, and all those miserable people who abuse you will be left far behind.
Jump over the fold to see the video.
Frankly, I nearly started weeping when I saw this video. My partner insisted I post it here. It deserves as much visibility as possible, so that the message can get out. Almost any grown-up gay man, lesbian, bisexual or transgender person can attest that its message is true.
I know this is a very short diary, but I believe this video deserves as much visibility as possible. If you know any LGBT teens who might be helped by seeing this, please send them the link.
Thanks.
