Dear John —

Ten years ago, comedian and actress Margaret Cho joined the chorus of voices sharing messages of hope on social media, telling LGBTQ+ youth that it gets better. 

"We need you, the world cannot go on without you," she pleaded.

A lot has changed over the last decade, and Margaret's passion for seeing LGBTQ+ young people not just survive but thrive is stronger than ever. Join us as we revisit her original It Gets Better video and discuss coming out as a lesbian (then straight and then bi), growing up in her parents' gay bookstore in San Francisco, and the hurdles we still face as a community!
