It Gets Better campaign

This has been a fantastic story to see unfolding (and I love the power of the internet).

(the "It Gets Better" campaign was started by columnist Dan Savage in response to the recent rash of gay teen suicides - article here)

I was fairly lucky that I never got harassed or beaten up or anything like that in school, I guess I was big enough and did enough "non-gay" stuff to get by. I don't know what my home town high school is like in 2010, but I'm sure in 1990 I would not have been able to have been openly gay in high school without being beaten up (or worse).

No kid should have to go through this, regardless of what anyone's personal beliefs on the subject are, and it's the responsibility of ALL adults, parents, teachers, leaders, etc. to make sure that a kid never gets to the point of feeling like they have to take their own life.
