    Many others have been breaking the silence and sharing their stories, "It Gets Better". We have shared our voices, we hope you will too...

    It does get better! I was raised an Irish Catholic. My mother was the first one I shared with who I was. She said, "Jimmy, do you honestly think, God wants you to live unhappy?" I thank my mother for being a mother!

    I love this video and especially your quote... ‎"We give other people the power to put us down. The more confident you are in yourself and the more you explore every facet of how beautiful and unique you are and share your talent with the world, no one can put you down. No one can bully you. No one can make fun of you. You need to be in charge of your own life and look in the mirror with love and respect for yourself." Thanks for sharing!

    It hurts my heart to see so much hate in comment sections of videos. I’m a 30 year old gay man and at 18 if I had the opportunity of watching a video like this on a safe platform such as RUclips the last thing I would want to see is a hate comment telling me I would go to hell. Bigots don’t realize what us LGBTQAIC+ people have to go through. Many of us DO struggle with religion and a possible outcome where we are condemned. It’s not about gay sex or sodomy or BDSM. Being gay in particular means you just want to find love, and happen to be looking for it in the same sex.
    So. To any child teen or adult out there struggling. YOU ARE ENOUGH. You are loved and important and worthy. And it WILL get better.

    Ronnie I am a huge fan. You are so special. I wanted to adopt you as my son when you were on the SuperModel show. Taylor appears to be a great guy too.How wonderful for you both to give encouragement to all young people dealing with this issue. Always be who you are. Hold your head up and have a happy life.

    That adorebly sweet ending "I love you, baby!" "I love you, too!" If something is so cute, how can anyone think its wrong? I'm not a lesbian, but I don't look down of gays just because I'am straight, it's more like I look up to them because they are so strong and brave! The real knights of our age of time!

  • @Rnmma5

    Hey I am Megan. I am 12 years old. I am straight but yet I aprove SO much of this project. I believe that everyone has the right to love who ever they wanna love and should NEVER be made fun of for it. You will (if not already) find someone who excepts who you are and loves you for who you are. Lady GaGa says that you were born this way so why not embrace it? I am proud of how much progress our nation has made by helping all the beautiful gays, lesbians and homosexuals. IT GETS BETTER.

  • @asbcb11
    @asbcb11 12 лет назад

    This is really inspiration for those who need it because it does get tough and sometimes you just want to close your eyes and never wake up, its like madness in side the head with people just pointing a finger at you, but like they said it does get better. When i was younger i had to go trough discrimination alone and just walk with my head up, but for my fortune im a very strong minded person and this helped me on my sad days well almost every day.

  • @jenniekelly75
    @jenniekelly75 13 лет назад

TP- I have always believed in you...since (when was the first show i worked with you - 5th grade??) the first day I saw you at auditions for 'Sound of Music.' RK- So happy to have you taking care of our Taylor! You are an amazing individual. Keep up the good work!

    let me first, start off by saying, that you 2 are so adorable together ;)
    im a 47 year old gay man- i have battled clinical depression most of my life, but as the saying goes "IT GETS BETTER"
    in 2003, i met the most perfect man for me! we were together 5 1/2 wonderful years when he was taken from this world by way of suicide on valentines day.
    that was a pretty horrific year.. but its been 3 years now, and i'm making attempts at moving on- slowly, but surely...
    but "IT DOES GET BETTER!!"

    I'm a 12 year old straight girl and I've been bullied. I'm a conservative republican--I believe in life. Suicide is not the answer but I know how it feels when it seems like suicide is the only route. I'm also a devout Catholic--however, I support gay people very much. Remember, God loves you! You are all perfect! God bless you!~Kelly xoxo

    Hi guys, just watched your video. Wanted to say thanks.
    I'm straight and don't know what it's like to be discriminated against for being gay, but I was bullied in elementary school for wearing glasses and I know how it feels to be called names.
    I really think that it doesn't matter weither you're black, white or purple with polka-dots.. gay, straight or bi.. Everyone deserves the same respect and to be treated with dignity.
    P.S. You guys look really sweet together.

    Thank you. You are a beautiful couple. I am bisexual and I have only come out to a few people. My father is homophobic and both of my parents are conservative baptists. I have been taught my whole life to hate gay people. It is nice to see someone who doesn't think I'm a bad person, someone who understands. I literally cried through this whole video. I thank you for reminding me that there is so much more to me and encouraging me to just be myself and love me.

    Great Clip. My 2 cents.... I'm 57. I never really came out but in my early 40's I decided I had to live as a Gay man. I'm so glad I allowed myself that. I met a fantastic guy. And the last 14 years have been heaven. Hang tough kids. Be who you are. Find your support group. Live your life as you were meant to. Peace & Love.

    I learned long ago that there really is no "debating" with religious fanatics. It just goes on and on. I wasn't really attacking you by calling you a closeted gay person. Most out gay people were once closeted. However, when someone expresses such extreme views against gays, it means that the issue touches them in a deep, personal way, and that usually means that they are gay themselves, and are in a panicked state of denial. Also, your photo made my gaydar go off. Quod Erat Demonstrandum
