In the wake of the disturbing influx of teen suicides by GLBT youth, Dan Savage started the It Gets Better campaign late last year where people were encouraged to make videos in support of GLBT teens in an effort to put an end to teen suicide. Last night, during Glee, Google Chrome aired an amazing commercial in prime time that highlights the amazing work of the It Gets Better campaign … and it’s a video that I think we all should see.
I’m not even going to lie here … I actually started to tear up when this commercial aired on TV last night. It says something very important, I think, that a commercial like this was aired in prime time on national television. The aim of the It Gets Better campaign is to show GLBT youth who are considering suicide as a way to end the torment they might endure because of who they are as gay teens that they are NOT alone. If just one of these supportive videos can save a life, then the It Gets Better campaign has done its job. But, it’s a job that isn’t over yet. I was just so moved by this commercial last night that I simply had to share it with all y’all today.
