Is anyone else familiar with this campaign?
Dan Savage started it, if you're not familiar with him he's a sex/relationship columnist, he's gay, and he's frequently in his column and on his podcast talked about how being GLBTQ gets 'better' when you become an adult and have more control over your own life.
So, this was his story.
It Gets Better
The goal is to tell teens to hang in there, and that making it through life is worth it, even if it doesn't feel that way right now.

I just wanted to share and pass it on. I think this is a great project and if it helps even one person it's worth it.
