It Gets Better

Two guys made a video about being happy gay adults in response to the suicide of a gay teenager in Texas. They called it "It Gets Better", and set up a youtube channel, encouraging others to make videos. This morning -when my attention was drawn to it, it was just their video. Now there are half a dozen or so.

I think this is such a great project. It may not be a solution to the problem, but at least it's something. It's sort of like what happened for nerds when Bill Gates became a household name. Only better. Just a glimpse of light at the end of the tunel, of something better out there when it feels that maybe it isn't really worth carrying on.
