Gay Video of the Week

Joel Burns from Ft Worth takes a moment at a council meeting this week to address the issue of gay bullying - with a surprisingly honest and heart wrenching address that has become viral on social sites such as Facebook because of it's deeply moving and personal address of the issue.

A must watch.





If you haven't done so already, please take the time to record and post your own "It Gets Better" campaign video and post it to the internet. The "It Gets Better" campaign was started by Dan Savage to support The Trevor Project by creating videotaped messages to lgbt youth incorporated with personal messages urging them to stay strong and reach out for support during tough times.

In the last few weeks, thousands of celebrities and and common folk have uploaded their own videos. From the funny, to the heartfelt, from straight teenagers to Ellen Degeneres, these viral videos are everywhere and from everyone.
