It Gets Better - Philly Style!

A few months back during the intense string of GLBTQ kids committing suicide due to bullying, sex educator/advice columnist Dan Savage decided to do something about it and make sure that queer kids know that life is different after high school.  Starting with a YouTube video of he and partner Terry talking about their experiences of life improving, Savage kicked off the “It Gets Better” project, for folks to share their own messages of support and love. Savage’s video quickly inspired thousands of others to follow suit and create videos of their own – all with the same goal of helping GLBTQ kids feel loved and supported.

This week Philly has joined the ranks and created our own message of caring and support!  A whole heap of folks that the Screws love dearly, including director Mel Orpen (the looker with the red bandana and checked shirt who starts talking at about 4:30 – so cute, right?), worked super hard to make this fabulous video happen and we couldn’t be happier showing our own support for such a brave and heartfelt video.  Thanks to everyone who was involved with this amazing video.

ps. The only reason the Screws aren't included is that we were away in Rhode Island for the Center For Sexual Pleasure and Health conference.  Sigh - there are so many wonderful things going on in this world at the same time!
