Hi John,

A few weeks ago, I asked you to step up for LGBTQ+ youth, and you did. The outpouring of support floored me.

Now, I want to share a quick update with you. It Gets Better is turning 15 this year. What began as one video has grown into a global movement, reaching millions of young people online, in schools, and at Pride celebrations across the world.

And during Suicide Prevention Month, this milestone matters even more. Because together, we’re proving that LGBTQ+ youth are not alone.

I recorded a short video to say thank you, to reflect on how far we’ve come, and to share how you can keep this momentum going. You can watch below. 

With gratitude,

Brian Wenke (he/him)
Executive Director
It Gets Better
