Hey John,

Queer love is here to stay. Let's make sure LGBTQ+ youth see it, feel it, and know it's theirs to claim.

That’s what See Us. Love Us. is all about—ensuring LGBTQ+ youth see themselves reflected in stories of joy, love, and connection. In a world where loneliness has reached epidemic levels, visibility isn’t just affirming—it can be lifesaving. When young people see love that looks like theirs, they know they belong, and that their futures are worth fighting for.

This Valentine's season, we’re celebrating queer love in all its forms—friendship, family, chosen family, community, and romance. And for the next five days, we'll be blanketing our social media channels with different depictions of love. And the best part is — the idea came from all of you. Every day, across social media, in our email inbox, at Pride festivals and community events, we see your stories of love unfold.

John, help us keep these stories alive. We’re raising $5K in 5 days to ensure queer love stays visible for LGBTQ+ youth. Can we count on your support?

We see it in our Youth Voices sharing joyful pics with their best friends. We see it when people who have recorded It Gets Better videos update us about their journeys. And we see it from actors like Noah Galvin and Ben Platt—married, angry about how LGBTQ+ people are being treated in this country, but instead of turning to hate, filling their feeds with love.

These moments matter. They show LGBTQ+ youth that their love stories—whatever form they take—are worth celebrating.

As a storytelling organization, It Gets Better exists to create, curate, and archive these stories so LGBTQ+ youth always have proof that their joy, love, and futures are real. Help us keep these stories alive. We’re raising $5K in 5 days to ensure queer love stays visible. Every dollar helps us reach more LGBTQ+ youth with stories that show them their futures are full of possibility—and love.

Because LGBTQ+ love is revolutionary, and it's not going anywhere.
