I get emotional over things like this, because it hits so close to home. I remember growing up being bullied and tormented by the people I thought were my friends. And here comes a classroom full of straight teens and gay teens showing us that "It Gets Better". Thank you so much kiddos!
As most of us know, growing up isn't easy. Countless young people are faced with daily tormenting and bullying, causing them to feel isolated and alone. This is an especially harsh reality for LGBT kids and teens, who often hide their sexuality for fear of bullying. In many instances, gay and lesbian adolescents are taunted, sometimes even tortured, simply for being themselves.
In support of the It Gets Better Project, Colton James Boettcher's artistic vision takes shape in the form of a music video interpretation of Lady Gaga's song, Hair. Hair is about being yourself, being true to who you are; as the song exemplifies, "you are the spirit of your hair, it's all the glory you bare", YOU are your #hair.

If you were watching Glee on Tuesday night you may have noticed a Google Chrome commercial midway through the show that probably had Bryan Fischer ROTFL or PO'd. Regardless of the outcry from these haters, I'm re-evaluating my use of browsers for the first time in 7 years.
The intense ad featured some well-known and not so well-known people, but most importantly, it starred Dan Savage, the creator of the It Gets Better Project.
Thank you Google for making a stand - you just helped broadcast our message of equality to millions of people in just one evening - imagine the possibilities.
