It Gets Better
The It Gets Better Project™ was founded in
September, 2010, when the first it gets better video was uploaded to YouTube,
igniting a worldwide phenomenon. That video offered a desperately needed
message of hope to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. It
urged them to tough it out through the bullying and other challenges that
confronted them in their teenage years, and described the positive future they
could experience as adults. It told them that no matter how difficult things
may be today, it gets better. Today, the mission of the It Gets Better Project
is to communicate to LGBT youth around the world that it gets better, and to
help effect the changes necessary to make it so. The team at the It Gets Better
Project is thrilled to collaborate with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles in
bringing the it gets better message to the stage.
