It Gets Better

Seattle columnist Dan Savage recently started the It Gets Better campaign to send a message to those who are LGBQT youth. They are videos that offer support and kindness. They spread the general message that no matter what situation you are in right now, it will get better. Many celebrities have contributed to the campaign as well as non-celebrities – people that just want to let others know that people are there for them.

Here is a very touching message from Tim Gunn and below a message from Dan Savage about how to get involved.

“If you’re gay or lesbian or bi or trans and you’ve ever read about a kid like Billy Lucas and thought, “Fuck, I wish I could’ve told him that it gets better,” this is your chance. We can’t help Billy, but there are lots of other Billys out there—other despairing LGBT kids who are being bullied and harassed, kids who don’t think they have a future—and we can help them.

They need to know that it gets better. Submit a video. Give them hope.”

Today was a very sad day in Seattle as we received news of the deaths of two college students from Western Washington University and the University of Washington. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of your families and friends.

Memorable Quotes of the Decade

I came across this post today that featured the most famous quotes (phrases, whatever) in pop culture of the decade that we will never ever forget. So I wanted to share my favorite ten with you from the list.

1.

“Yo, Taylor. I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” – Kanye West really stepped in it when he stole the mic from singer Taylor Swift as she accepts the “Best Female Video” award during the MTV Video Music Awards (2009)
