Dear John —
Working with the It Gets Better Project has been one of the greatest opportunities of my life. Being a gay and transgender teen can be very difficult, and I’ve been through some really tough times. Organizations like the It Gets Better Project have been crucial in helping me out of that darkness. [[link removed]]
It’s been said over and over again, but it’s true — things change for the better. It happened for me and I know that we have the opportunity to make it a reality for so many struggling LGBTQ+ youth in our world.
I live somewhere that makes it hard for LGBTQ+ people to come out and experience a loving environment. I have seen firsthand what a difference it makes to have even just one person there for you. I never want anyone to feel alone and unloved ever.
The It Gets Better Project has made me feel not only accepted but celebrated and empowered for being who I am. [[link removed]] I am so proud and grateful that I can work beside four other spectacular youth voices. I can tell for certain that we are making a difference in today’s world, and I am looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish by the time the year is over.
Please consider making a donation in support of the It Gets Better Project. Your contributions make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ young people like me. [[link removed]] Help send a strong message of support to LGBTQ+ youth — go forth, be proud, and love yourself.
