'IT GETS BETTER'



To address the suicide of little Billy Lucas, 15, Dan Savage creates a podcast to voice to LGBT teens that life gets better.  Savage wants to assure them that no matter how dire their young lives seem there is hope for the future.

The Advocate details:

The "It Gets Better" Project is inspired by the suicide of 15-year-old Indiana teenager Billy Lucas, who hanged himself last week in his family's barn after enduring bullying from his classmates. After writing a post on The Slog about Lucas's death last week, one commenter expressed a desire to have spoken to him to tell him that things get better.

Savage, in his September 21 Savage Love podcast, said he felt the same way and decided to address the problem. The project is a YouTube channel where LGBT adults can upload videos targeted at gay teens to let then know their future can still be bright.


Savage is with his husband in this video.
