It gets "more shameful and perverse"! God gave woman to be with man. Turn away from your sin and turn to the Savior!
Romans 1:26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
It sucks that neither of my Senators wanted anything to do with this. Dean Heller not being in this is rather obvious, but why isn't Harry Reid, a member of the Democratic leadership, in this video? This and the Patriot Act incident with Rand Paul makes me kind of wish he has a strong primary in 2016.
Okay, I'm moving to all of these states just so I can vote for each one of these guys. I don't give a damn if they're doing this for votes or not. Anyone who will reach out to scared people who feel like they are alone has my vote.
As a Transgender female, I am comforted by this message. These laws should be Federal so we can change America as a whole, changing things state to state means, you get married in one state, then go to another and it isn't even recognized. We NEED to make equality country wide.
@kryckeestrooff God's law also says one should not lie, be quick to anger, or judge lest you be judge. The problem with using God's law as a reason is that no human can follow every law. I'm Christian and all other Christians need to understand that no one is perfect and it is our duty to bring people to Christ. I know lying is a sin, and I struggle with it, being homosexual is no more a sin then lying. God said "A sin is a sin no matter how small". We need to start remembering that.
Awesome video! The LGBT community needs & must have this kind of support to achieve equality in the United States and the world! Thank you to the Senators who stepped up and participated in this video! God bless all of you!
If every individual deems that following their proclivities and desires is just "being yourself" then our society is on a great spiral downwards...Sorry for not tickling your ears.
Lets show North Dakota, Utah, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Ohio and New Hampshire how gays can hurt families, if we are prohibited from adopting children in these states, how is it constitutional that our tax dollars support the schools and other institutions that we will never benefit from. We're only 10% of the population but that's a hell of a lot of money in struggling school systems. Lets fight more aggressively, take the country hostage, and make demands.
If it gets better, and you think we deserve equality and fair treatment,and you want us to feel safe and loved, why in the world is same sex marriage still illegal?
If you really cared, you would give us equal rights, not just make a video talking about how much you love us while you sit in your senate seats letting the country treat us like second class citizens unworthy of equality.
Talk doesn't do anything when your actions are drowning out the words.
@LexieRhi333 I'm not usually inclined to defend Democrats, but I suspect part of the reason is that they're only 13 individuals and while they might vote to, say, repeal DOMA, the rest of the Senate (and the House) might not--and even if they did, it would still leave the states to do what they liked until there was a constitutional amendment or a Supreme Court ruling on the matter.
@admiraljello I get what you're saying. Honestly I probably wouldn't have posted this comment if I hadn't just had a huge fight with my mom about me being Bi.
She thinks same sex marriage is wrong, and that by extension me being Bi is wrong. So I was already upset. The government does need to listen more to the needs of the LGBT community, but my earlier comment was unnecessarily harsh and accusatory.
@LexieRhi333 I understand your frustration. Sadly, a democratic system isn't equipped to handle the needs of a minority in the face of a hostile majority. For change to come any time soon (because old beliefs die hard), I think leadership will have to come from the courts. They're the only branch suited for this, and they were designed specifically to resist popular pressure. It took the Supreme Court to kill segregation. I think it'll take it to legalize gay marriage in ALL the states.
I know LGBT is just a voting bloc for Dems, I don't care. This video is very touching. it still takes guts to take a stand on this issue in most places in the United States. Thank you, Senators, all of you, for being courageous and taking your time.
Ugh, this video kind of makes me gag. As if they actually care about gay people.
Politicians -- mainly the Democrats -- only see the gay community as a voting bloc; they seek to keep us in a box, tell us we're being victimized, and then pretend to be harbingers of progress. Then when they don't deliver, they do it all again the next election cycle. And people keep falling for it.

The new spread of aids, the democrats are pushing the spread of aids. More butt pumping, lets teach butt pumping in grammar school. Gay = freaks, just ask the animal world, they don't allow it.
@TheImpeacher Fail troll. 1. Nixon was essentially responsible for the AIDS outbreak since he didn't allow funding for the vaccine, considering it a 'gay virus'. And 2. Youre a total moron if you think homosexuality doesn't exist in nature. Keep trolling, bro.
@Streetmastaalex Homosexuality does exist in nature just like cancer does... With that said, I could give a flying fuck what gays do and I think they SHOULD be afforded the same rights, under a CIVIL UNION, as a married couple has. Marriage is between a man and a women.
@imax1971 Marriages come in many forms - one can be a man and a woman, two men, or two women. These preferences are based by culture; conservatives focus on heterosexual marriages while liberals focus on marriage equality.
@Streetmastaalex Actually, I think you ment to say Reagan was the Prez at the beginning of the AIDS outbreak,in 1981 the CDC published a report about the disease that we have come to know as AIDS and Reagan did not publicly address the outbreak until about 87' so, many years of ignoring the outbreak instead of doing something like increasing funding.Now THAT was a sin!
@RulaLenzka You're right about that. The Reagan era focused on AIDS as a 'gay disease' instead of a humanitarian crisis, in which many people die of HIV/AIDS due to unprotected sex. It is important that gender inequality and strict patriarchal norms, not homosexuality, that causes AIDS to thrive worldwide. Being denied information about preventing HIV/AIDS is unacceptable.
@TheImpeacher Yeah, Aids can be spread through heterosexual sex too. Also, it is not as if we are encouraging LGBT students to be sexual. They will be getting the same abstinence talk as the rest of the school. And animals can be gay in times of great struggle and in some species just whenever they feel like it, such as lions, penguins, dogs, cats, turtles, seagulls, etc. There are over 100 breeds.

If anyone is struggling with the sin and disease of homosexuality, please, turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, forgiveness and salvation. Seek medical and psychological treatment immediately.
I'd Like To Express My Heartfelt Gratitude To The Senators For Sending This Message Of Hope To Our GLBT Youth. By Joining Forces With The Gets Better Campaign, Trevor Project And Those Of Us Dedicated To Ending Bullying Once And For All, Youth. Know Your Video Will Go Far In Saving Lives Of GLBT and Stra8 Youth Struggling With Being The Targets Of And/Or Victims Of Senseless Bullying. I Sincerely Thanl Each Of You For This.
Working hard? Let me see. Where is your hard work? Can I have a picture? I see alot of spending. I see alot of debt. I don't however see alot of hard work. Can we have some proof? Your supporters keep saying we have health care, I haven't seen that either. I've seen a bill, but NO WORKS only words.
Gratz to the LGBTQ. You are now people too, because the government says so.
Senator Feinstein .. as a fellow San Franciscan, I applaud your continued efforts over the many years you have been in pubic service. Your many contributions are well over the top!!
HUGE applause to you, Senator Coons, as well as all those US Senators who participated in this great contribution to the It Gets Better campaign!! What a great message of encouragement and hope you have lavished upon the youth of this country!!
This is astonishing! Thank you to our Senator Mark Udall, our former Senator, Chuck Schumer and to all who spoke! It's time NOW to make the change; give us our full equality. We have earned it, over and over. And to those Republicans who were too afraid to join this message, shame on you. Shame on you for using us to get votes. It belittles you and it belittles America.
Thank you for putting this video together. Please tell senator Cantwell thank you for being in it but the LGBT community of WA State will need to see some actions to reinforce her words to re-elect her and we need more than a passive bystander, we need a vocal advocate to make it better.
It's wonderful. Something that in Italy is inconceivable, for the words, for the partecipation of politicians, for the clearness of images and messages. Thank you.

The gay suicide "epidemic" is a lie - a fabrication to curry gain political advantage. People don't fill out questionnaires about why they're committing suicide so any numbers are speculation. Studies that say living homosexuals are more inclined to suicidal ideation are based on druggies in half-way houses and not regular populations. Moreover, suicides as a whole are way down from the 80's and early 90's . One real epidemic of suicides is in military - but gays hog the media with agitprop.
@thamesavon Who are you trying to convince? You are clearly not going to change 99% of the people who watched this video. Go to FoxNew.com and rant there, you'll have plenty of support.
Bravo! For your courage to take a stand, for working towards equality, for inspiring people to move against hate and intolerance, for those who are thinking of killing themselves like many before and can see the light of hope in your message and the progress the country is making, for the REPUBLICANS who are thinking of embracing this same courage and joining the inevitable progress towards a more humane, loving, and accepting America. Thank you and Bravo!!!
Thank you. My young cousin has been struggling at school, because of bullies. I'll show him this and let him know that there are brave people like you, fighting for his rights, his freedom. Thank you again.
A good video, but still too pussy. There's no shame to show a "D" next to "Senator". Obama might be a weak-ass, but there's no reason for you to be as well.
However well intentioned, I'm uncomfortable listening to straight people give young people prefab advice about something of which they have absolutely no experience.
Note how they all speak in vague, safe generalities and say nothing personal whatsoever. This campaign should be about sharing personal experience, not the easy platitudes of professional talking heads looking to score election points.
@BloodOfTheLamb1: Just feel uncomfortable for a while, that's part of your progress. Whether gay or straight, equality is a universal necessity. This message is great. Kids will hopefully feel more accepted, I wish I had heard such a message when I was feeling totally isolated as a gay boy who could not get to terms with my own feelings (I'm now 62 yo). Thanks for this message.
@BloodOfTheLamb1 This is a message of hope. There are gay kids who live in fear of rejection, abandonment, physical and emotional pain. The message from these Senators will give those kids hope, because they know that there are people, such as these straight Senates, who will not reject them for being different.
@BloodOfTheLamb1 Most people feel this is a good ammount of rallied support. Its nice to see people in the government speak up for the LGBT community. They cannot share their experiences, but it doesn't mean they don't care. It is not as if I would want them to lie to try to make me feel better, or try to relate something they have went through to it. They are supporting, and that means a lot.
@Whiteboymdew apparently no Republicans were asked to participate, according to CNN. I have a problem with that, as it sounds like political point-scoring. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think many, if any, Republicans would have joined in, but they should have been asked (and, if they declined, well - then - score all the points you want with their positively-asserted bigotry).
It is very easy for any of us that have fought the fight to critize those that chose not to participate in this video but by doing this we miss the importance of the message. We must stay on focus and support the LGBTQ youth who are struggling with their fears and pain. Hearing any of the politicians, stars, educators, or just the person next door saying that life gets better would have meant a hell of a lot to me when I was just coming out.
This means SO much more than a baseball team or Lady Gaga making a video. These are the people who can actually get us equality and to know their support is amazing.
To all Republicans: Please follow the example set by your peers in the New York State Senate and stand for what is right and fair. It was your party that freed the slaves and gave women the right to vote. Please stand once again on the side of progress.
"...a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them..."..."We hold these truths to be self-evident , that all men are created equal"..."Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"...For those who don't know these words are pulled from the Declaration of Independence, July 1, 1776. 235 years ago their light shone as a beacon calling people to put aside petty differences for a just cause. What must they think now?
No Republicans because Republicans are intolerant and have no clue that when you mix religion and government, you end up with something like the Taliban, whether it's Christianity or Islam.
Thank you so much!!!! I'm a 21 year old lesbian living in Alabama, and I fear being open about my sexual orientation here. I really hope this message gets to the south.
Thanks for stepping up. I work with kids in Middle School who are bullied and/or conflicted. We need to create a world where all people are free to be who they are.
I know this is just anecdotal evidence, but I have quite a few friends who identify as republican and completely support gay rights. :) Minds are changing -- regardless of political affiliation. It's just going to take some time and education.
@muffyforevrz well said my friend, your comment deserves way more than 2 thumbs up.

It is important that gender inequality and strict patriarchal norms, not homosexuality, that causes AIDS to thrive worldwide. Being denied information about preventing HIV/AIDS is unacceptable.

@TheImpeacher Yeah, Aids can be spread through heterosexual sex too. Also, it is not as if we are encouraging LGBT students to be sexual. They will be getting the same abstinence talk as the rest of the school. And animals can be gay in times of great struggle and in some species just whenever they feel like it, such as lions, penguins, dogs, cats, turtles, seagulls, etc. There are over 100 breeds.

The gay suicide "epidemic" is a lie - a fabrication to curry gain political advantage. People don't fill out questionnaires about why they're committing suicide so any numbers are speculation. Studies that say living homosexuals are more inclined to suicidal ideation are based on druggies in half-way houses and not regular populations. Moreover, suicides as a whole are way down from the 80's and early 90's . One real epidemic of suicides is in military - but gays hog the media with agitprop.

However well intentioned, I'm uncomfortable listening to straight people give young people prefab advice about something of which they have absolutely no experience.
Note how they all speak in vague, safe generalities and say nothing personal whatsoever. This campaign should be about sharing personal experience, not the easy platitudes of professional talking heads looking to score election points.
Kids will mistrust this, and rightly so.
BloodOfTheLamb1 8 months ago
@BloodOfTheLamb1: Just feel uncomfortable for a while, that's part of your progress. Whether gay or straight, equality is a universal necessity. This message is great. Kids will hopefully feel more accepted, I wish I had heard such a message when I was feeling totally isolated as a gay boy who could not get to terms with my own feelings (I'm now 62 yo). Thanks for this message.
xelagot 8 months ago 14
@BloodOfTheLamb1 This is a message of hope. There are gay kids who live in fear of rejection, abandonment, physical and emotional pain. The message from these Senators will give those kids hope, because they know that there are people, such as these straight Senates, who will not reject them for being different.
tomthecat94 8 months ago
@BloodOfTheLamb1 Most people feel this is a good ammount of rallied support. Its nice to see people in the government speak up for the LGBT community. They cannot share their experiences, but it doesn't mean they don't care. It is not as if I would want them to lie to try to make me feel better, or try to relate something they have went through to it. They are supporting, and that means a lot.

@Whiteboymdew apparently no Republicans were asked to participate, according to CNN. I have a problem with that, as it sounds like political point-scoring. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think many, if any, Republicans would have joined in, but they should have been asked (and, if they declined, well - then - score all the points you want with their positively-asserted bigotry).

It is very easy for any of us that have fought the fight to critize those that chose not to participate in this video but by doing this we miss the importance of the message. We must stay on focus and support the LGBTQ youth who are struggling with their fears and pain. Hearing any of the politicians, stars, educators, or just the person next door saying that life gets better would have meant a hell of a lot to me when I was just coming out.

This means SO much more than a baseball team or Lady Gaga making a video. These are the people who can actually get us equality and to know their support is amazing.
To all Republicans: Please follow the example set by your peers in the New York State Senate and stand for what is right and fair. It was your party that freed the slaves and gave women the right to vote. Please stand once again on the side of progress.
