It gets better - Dan Savage

Every story can change a life.

Growing up isn't easy. Many young people face daily tormenting and
bullying, and this is especially true for LGBT kids and teens. In
response to a number of tragic suicides by LGBT students, syndicated
columnist and author Dan Savage uploaded a video to YouTube with his
partner, Terry Miller. Speaking openly about the bullying they
suffered, and how they both went on to lead rewarding adult lives,
their video launched the It Gets Better Project YouTube channel and
initiated a worldwide phenomenon.

It Gets Better is a collection of original essays and
expanded testimonials written to teens from celebrities, political
leaders, and everyday people, because while many LGBT teens can't see a
positive future for themselves, we can.

Dan Savage is the editorial director of Seattle's weekly
newspaper, The Stranger. Terry Miller is an event
promoter, musician, and DJ. They were married in Canada and live in
Seattle with their son, DJ.
