"We're all different — straight, gay, doesn't matter, everybody's different. But in the long run, our differences are what actually make us so exceptional."
- Nate Berkus

It's not every day you get to celebrate "A Decade of Joy." But as of this week, the It Gets Better Project is ten years old. What started with one video has grown into a global effort to uplift, empower and connect LGBTQ+ youth so that they find joy in their journey and realize their worthiness and power as individuals.

Your Weekly Uplift is filled with stories to put a smile on your face, as well as some exciting updates on what's next for the It Gets Better Project.

Enjoy... and stay loud and proud!
