Dear John —

Today marks ten years since the first It Gets Better story was released on YouTube. The hope was that other people would join the chorus — ten voices, maybe 100. Our goal was to make a positive difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ young people having a rough time on the path to acceptance. No one ever imagined the words “it gets better” had the power to spark a global movement which today spans four continents and six major languages.

Every day we are humbled and inspired by the beautiful people who continue to step forward and share their stories of triumph and resilience for the betterment of younger generations. Their voices are more important than ever as we continue the fight for progress that will bring us a world where all LGBTQ+ young people are free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals.

For the last decade, we’ve made it our mission to uplift, empower and connect LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. As we kick off our anniversary year — one that will be filled with exciting announcements, new ventures, and events both digital and (we hope) in person — we bring you “10 Years Better,” a new web series that looks back on some of the first It Gets Better videos through the lens of the people who recorded them. Our first alumni is Gigi Gorgeous! [[link removed]]

The world can be unforgiving, and 2020 has tested the resiliency of our community repeatedly, but we can assure you that the It Gets Better Project will be at your side, providing a virtual safe space to help LGBTQ+ youth realize and pursue their greatest potential. For updates on our 10 year anniversary plans and to stay up-to-date on our work with LGBTQ+ youth, please visit us at itgetsbetter.org [[link removed]].

Cheers to you and your unwavering support to make this milestone possible. Stay loud, stay proud -- always!
