    I did a search for this at EC and couldn't believe there wasn't already a thread for it. So here are links to the It Gets Better videos. For those who don't know what It Gets Better is about:

    So without further ado...

    There were several threads about the videos when they were first being made - I even made one myself. :slight_smile: But they're good enough to see again.

    I figured as much, but I didn't pull any up with a search, so...*shrug*

    The one from Pixar made me cry.

    All the "It Gets Better" videos made are touching and inspiring. I've seen pretty much all of them, even the unofficial videos by non-celebrity, nonaffiliated members of the Trevor Project. These videos honestly have saved my life. There were a few times when I attempted or thought about committing suicide when these videos starting being made. But when a friend showed me one, I cried so much. I have never heard anyone in my life tell me that it would get better. It was just so touching.
    I love this campaign and hope that it has saved many lives as it has mine. :slight_smile:

    This. So much this for me too. I'm tearing up right now just watching the pixar one and the Gene Robinson one. I have been there, and although I have only come out to a few people, I am so much better than I was before. (&&&)
