Dan Savage's It Gets Better project – make a video

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaZqXNjt888]

After the recent suicide of Billy Lucas, popular sex advice columnist and podcaster Dan Savage decided we could do something – we could use technology to let gay kids know they are not alone in the world, no matter where they happen to live.

We could also tell kids that life gets much better after high school, and that they should stick around for the party. The idea is to make a video, post it on YouTube, and then send the url to mail@savagelove.net. They will review and add them to the compilation. Here’s my (kinda lame, kinda ok) attempt, sorry I cut off the top of my head. There’s hair there, really. REALLY.

I urge you to make a video and encourage gay teens. It only takes a few minutes, and if it helps to save even one life, it’s worth it.
