This is a really great thing. I'm sure most of you guys have seen it, but if you haven't, you need to check this out. It's a channel where probably over 100 people added (and are still adding) videos giving encouragement that if you are getting shit for being gay in high school, things will get better. Check it out, I think it's worth a look. http://www.youtube.com/itgetsbetterproject
Well it's not called "It gets good", it's called "It gets better". Of course people are going to go through shit after high school, but what I think they're trying to say is "things aren't going to be as bad once you get out of high school".
It always gets better. And I think there was a thread about Ke$ha's somewhere, but I've lost it. xD Either way, regardless of what I think of her music, I still think she's cute when she's talking normally. xD
I decided to make a video for "It Gets Better". I've written the rough draft of what I'll say. I've gotten approval to film in three locations (a fourth is pending). I've arranged for my friend to do the filming around his schedule. I've talked to my friends and acquaintances about appearing in it. I'm working on dealing with the arrangements on the ending. ...when I do something like this, I don't fuck around. Anyone who sat through my staff interview knows that. Lex
Maybe I'll make one myself. I've been pretty uplifted and inspired by all the videos I've seen on there. I think it's a good idea for a community participation project, it's just unfortunate that it took such sad circumstances for it to come about.
I'm considering making one with my faghag - she's bi and i'm gay, and we've both had rather uneventful unclosetings, but that doesn't mean our story is any less valid, right?
I'd love to make one. I don't have a story, but I can quote statistics. I can also say that having a supportive group of people around me has kept me from experiencing the worst!
Ok, so I just made an outline of what to say for my 'It Gets Better' video. Whether I actually make a video and upload it....I'm not sure. I'm VERY camera shy. I really wanna do this though. I'll decide later...
