It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living by Dan Savage

5.0

The whole project is amazing of course. Coordinated and vocal pushback against homophobic bullying in this country is long overdue. All they really had was hoping LGBT kids knew so little about how small the world they were living in was that they would submit to the "authority" figures around them and believe that the closet was their only option. A really good mix of celebrity and regular folk testimony about how small the world we all grow up in really is and how much you can make the life you want when you grow up even, and especially, if you're LGBT.

The focus is obviously aimed at teenagers, but you'll have to trust me when I tell you the messages are helpful for a 35-year-old late bloomer struggling with the same issues.

Strongly recommended for anyone you might feel needs the message.
