Summer is officially over, and that means back-to-school for thousands of young LGBTQ+ people around the world. Many queer youth will be entering or returning to environments where they do not feel accepted and are at risk for higher rates of bullying. As difficult as it can be, the It Gets Better Project is here to help ease the transition with a slate of uplifting stories — brought to you from around the world.
So read on for your monthly dose of inspiration. And ICYMI, see how we started things off this school year... with Queerbook, a collection of glow-ups and powerful quotes from some of our favorite notable LGBTQ+'s.
