🌈✊ YOUTH ACTIVISM SERIES - THE IT GETS BETTER PROJECT 🌈✊
THE IT GETS BETTER PROJECT IS LOOKING FOR OPENLY LGBTQ+ YOUTH ACTIVISTS TO SHARE YOUR STORY IN A WEB DOCU-SERIES.
Our goal is to give viewers around the world a hopeful, affirming glimpse into the lives of activists who identify as LGBTQ+ around the world (including outside of USA) and a respect for the intersectionality of many forms of activism. We’re looking for young people between the ages of 14-24 who are comfortably “out” as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer and who are involved in intersectional causes that aren’t necessarily directly about LGBTQ+ equality.
Maybe you’re part of a group of young queer activists working to end gun violence or fight for change in immigration policy. Maybe you’re creating a space for other LGBTQ+ youth to join you in advocating for global climate change or local workers rights. Maybe you’re creating art as activism related to racial inequality or reproductive justice. Maybe you are just a young person who is passionate about a particular cause and want to see a change in the world. We’re looking for young people between 14-24 who are changing the world…or even your own community. No cause is too small!
Does being openly LGBTQ+ impact your view of the world? Why are you so passionate about the cause you’re fighting for? The time commitment is limited- filming would take place over 1-2 days in your area based on your availability.
What’s your story? Please email us ASAP and let us know! casting@creatorup.com
PLEASE REFERENCE “ACTIVISM” IN THE EMAIL AND TELL US ABOUT YOU!
More queer music for our next playlist? Um, yes please!

I grew up in a Mormon household. I was so scared of coming out. I didn’t even know what trans or gay was till I was 12. My gender identity and sexuality has been a rollercoaster of a journey. It went straight cis, bi cis, gay cis, gay I don’t know what I am, queer gender queer, straight ftm, and now to bi trans (FtM).
I learned about different identities and what I could be. A couple days ago I reviewed my first binder and I cried. The feeling is amazing. It does get better and I know my journey is far from over.

when i close my eyes, i envision a society where i can fall in love with anyone i want, regardless of gender, caste, religion and nationality. and i don’t have to label myself as gay or lesbian or bi or pan or anything else - i am just a person. and i deserve rights, no matter how wrong others think my wants and needs are. i am me. i don’t have to label myself. i am a human, and if being “human” means being attracted only to one specific kind of people, then i don’t want to be human at all.
