That's a really sweet story and I was totally with this "It Gets Better" campaign that they were pushing. But I still stick by my personal belief that we should make it better, you don't get things better in your society by waiting. You make it better, how about something like that for a pro gay rights campaign?


I think the "It Gets Better" campaign was, and certainly has become, more than just a message to talk young gay or alienated people out of committing suicide (as if that wasnt a worthy cause)

Anyone who has seen even one of these videos or messages from people who have been bullied their entire childhoods and are admitting it and have gotten through it, has either been on the edge of tears or they must be dead inside.

I've never been homophobic or anything like that, but it certainly has moved me in some way to be more sympathetic and aware of the problems that these kids face. Not that I wasn't before, but I'm saying it moves us straights too, thats all.

So what i'm getting at, is that this campaign has, perhaps more than politics or legislation, changed people attitude towards gay/lesbian/transexuality , which, after all, is the most important thing. If you think about the civil rights movement, for example, getting laws etc straight (no pun intended) is one thing,but changing people's mind might be the most important part.
