Want to join the It Gets Better Project at Pride? We’re looking for volunteers to join us at Pride marches and festivals all across the country!
We’ve teamed up with Wells Fargo to march at nearly 50 Pride events this year. We’re calling on our supporters to join us — to march and take photos and videos — so we can share the It Gets Better message. Together we can show LGBT youth that there are supportive communities all across the country.
Please fill out the volunteer form to the right and an organizer from the It Gets Better Project - Wells Fargo team will contact you with more information about the event near you! And, even if you can’t join us at Pride, don’t forget to order your It Gets Better Pride t-shirt, by clicking below:

You are here for a reason, to complete tasks that are meant for you to complete. There are men that you are meant to love and that are to love you. There are children that will need to be loved by you. And all of those men, women and children will be so much better off for your love. It will get better. It will be awesome.

It’s not worthwhile to care what other people think of you, so be what you are and do what you do. In the end, we only have to answer for ourselves so don’t let anyone take your SELF away. Love yourself, explore yourself, create yourself, live yourself. Be true, meditate on yourself often, and be kind to yourself because quite often the world rarely is. How we deal with bad experiences leads to a strength of character that those who never have to strive will never know or understand.
—Stephanie P. (Omaha, NE)

It would mean an incredible amount to me if you’d reblog this to show your support for people, regardless of their gender or sexuality.

If you choose to have kids some day with your partner (or on your own), I want you to know - from someone who has been there, that some of the BEST parents on the planet are LGBT.

Here it is! Our first ever #FamilyFriday!
Let’s celebrate the beautiful and diverse kinds of families we have. In celebrating them, we’re helping to reinforce what we already know: Our families are legitimate and beautiful.
Happy #FamilyFriday!

Just find that freedom, and that inner strength that I know you have, you deserve to be who you are. Dare to be different. Embrace your uniqueness, and most importantly, love yourself.
