    This is a good Blog. Thank you for speaking on such a timely and much needed subject. Some sites have built-in features that prevent ill intended words from even seeing the light of day.

    I often see such vile words written in the "comment" sections here on YouTube that it often makes me wonder if we need to have such preventative features here.

    Freedom of speech is not only a right, it's also a privilege, and when abused it must be revoked on a social medium like this. Cyber bullies and cyber cowards have no respect nor social decorum and must be treated on that "small brained" level.

    The It Gets Better Project is such a simple idea that has created a huge amount of social change at such a horrific time for the LGBTQ community. Although it has indeed gotten better for me as a queer person, 6 suicides within several weeks shows that there is clearly more work to be done.

    To hear from influential LGBTQ celebrities about their struggles growing up queer will hopefully make our youth feel like they are not alone. While it is unfortunate that such a terrible turn of events lead to such a wonderful project, I hope there will someday be a time where kids don't see killing themselves as the only option to escape victimization and desolation.

    I also hope that these videos will change the minds of the bullies who victimized and continue to spread hate. Once their minds are open and accepting, most of the battle towards equality will have been won.

    Great post and thank you for covering this important project!
