It Gets Better

Today, I have truly been inspired. Some people may have seen the commercial sponsored by GoogleChrome about the new website and group of videos sending a positive message to confused young people. There are videos of people in every walk of life letting these young people know that this phase will pass.

Please take the time to skim through a few videos on the website. Gay, straight, or otherwise, the messages from these people are moving and heartfelt. It is amazing to me to see people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to give strength to the many struggling teenagers today.

So many gay teens are harassed and teased to an extreme.  Recently we heard a story about a young man who committed sucicide simply because he was so severely harrassed by his peers.
This kind of torture can be changed with one simple word: acceptance. Have you ever considered that acceptance could change someone's life? For someone to know they are accepted for who they are, not even necessarily liked or loved, just accepted, their whole vision of life can be altered for the better.

If you feel that you cannot agree with a homosexual lifestyle, at least consider that. Know that your actions could impact a fellow humans life more than you may ever know.
