Yeah, the text-to-donate.

I'm glad they don't raise money among the intended audience. That would be kindof tacky, I think.

Oh yeah that would be a bad idea.

Kind of cool is that the vids are a mix, some are celebrities, from Zachary Quinto to Curt Colfer to one of the Backstreet Boys, but plenty are just from regular people.

It Gets Better also has a branch off site called Makeitbetter.org that encourages people to call their representatives to support some anti-bullying and non-discrimination bills, ones that would help all kids not just LGBT teens.

Having an income means having the money to donate and that makes me very happy.

I was ecstatic the first time I donated to NPR, LOL.
