Back in October, 2010 I posted Joel Burns' Message of Hope, a message letting gay teens know that life gets better and urging them to hang in there and find out. I didn't realize that his message had spawned a movement of similar messages called the It Gets Better Project, but what an amazing thing. I guess we could lament, and curse a crummy world where people are bullied to such extremes that suicide seems to be the only solution, but instead, it seems an easier choice to celebrate a world where people look out for one another, and take a moment to remind each other that it does, in fact, get better...and that you are a beautiful person.
Bravo to the brave voices who share their stories with the world and more importantly our children.
