About the It Gets Better Project

The It Gets Better Project was created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach – if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone — and it WILL get better.

What is the It Gets Better Project?

In September 2010, syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage created a YouTube video with his partner Terry Miller to inspire hope for young people facing harassment. In response to a number of students taking their own lives after being bullied in school, they wanted to create a personal way for supporters everywhere to tell LGBT youth that, yes, it does indeed get better....

People mocked President Bush for his "Points of Light" concept.

I’ve been hitting these “It gets better” youtubes with my own comments for several months now. I first discovered the Pixar one. It’s why I don’t own Cars II.

Interestingly, I used the phrase “breeder” in one of my posts and one of them said, “you souldn’t use that word. They don’t like to be called that.” My response back was, “I AM a breeder and I DO like to be called that. It is why sex exists. You only pervert it with homosexuality, pedophilia incest and bestiality.”

The Culture is corrupt because the LGBT “culture” eschews responsibility for the mentality “if it feels good, do it”.

So the culture becomes self destructive because it promotes “lifestyle choices” that lead to diseases, be that STDs, Substance Abuse diseases, or Mental diseases stemming from the devaluation and cheapening of meaningful relationships.

Opps, sorry. That was the uncensored version, a little ranchy. The other version is actually funny, and not so rude.

How about the "It gets better, briefly, then it gets MUCH worse" project?

You know, where we tell young misfits that however much they think they'll enjoy shocking and pissing off their parents by going fag, eventually they'll stand in Judgement before God and have to explain why they chose to take the precious gift of Life He gave them and used it to create an abomination before Him.

Then they'll roast in agony in Hell for eternity.

Yeah, I think that if we really care at all about our "LGBT" brothers and sisters, we'll go full-steam-ahead with the "IT GETS MUCH WORSE" Project.

Just sayin...

And once they get their advanced degrees in socialogy, they can be considered for the President of Penn State to push the agenda.
