Turn anger into action. Support LGBTQ+ youth.

Hi John,
I’m frustrated. I’m angry. But more than anything, I’m hopeful.
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for youth ages 13–24, and the risk is even higher for LGBTQ+ youth. Yet every day, I see proof that hope is possible. I see young people finding community, connection, and a reason to keep going.
I know what it feels like to reach the edge, because I’ve been there. In this video, I share why that experience drives me to fight for LGBTQ+ youth every single day.

This is why It Gets Better exists. We meet LGBTQ+ youth before crisis, in schools, online, and in their communities – showing them they belong, keeping loneliness at bay, and giving them the tools to thrive.
But hope doesn’t sustain itself. It takes people. It takes resources. And it takes you, the supporters who gave life to our organization when the world needed it most.
For just $5 a month , [[link removed]] you can help ensure we’re there for every young person who needs to hear the words, “You are not alone.”
If everyone reading this gave $5 a month starting today , [[link removed]] we could fund this work through 2028. No waiting on the next senseless tragedy to make headlines or for Pride Month to roll around next year. Just consistent hope.
