[RImusclebear1]

For you gay guys and gals who are young people. Just remember being gay is a gift from God. Christian Fundamentalist know nothing about the love of Jesus, they claim they do but they are nothing more than hate. I am 35 and love being gay and thank God every day he made me this way. It does get better!

[kickrocksscrub]

Thank you so much, Joel

[CosmicTDI]

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, JOEL! You truly are a hero.

[xmaneater]

Thank god for that? If there was a god, he would have made Joel gay, he would have let him being bullied and insulted, he would have made his life miserable, driving him to try to kill himself... And she thanks him for sparing him? This is absurd. It's like thanking your god for sending paramedics after he gave you a heart attack...

[BaseballerPonchito17]

As a gay teen, this is nothing but helpful. Thank you Joel Burns for being who you are.

[wizardnoodles054]

Lol she brought up justin bieber

[katiecheerlove]

He makes me proud to be a Texan!!!

[openfifth]

@katiecheerlove As someone who is judgmental about the conservatism of Texas I am amazed. He is a shining example of those core value of Texans, of strength and forthrightness, and he forces me to look at Texas in a new light. I thank him.

[1073kat]

I am so happy this message is being spread!!!! I get goosebumps watching this. Joel has saved countless lives.

[kristie7901]

God Bless this man. No child should be bullied. When will it stop? How many children have to die??

[joshmesser1]

[carl75205]

Is there anyone else who saw the interesting juxtaposition of the king of Redneck comedy following up him on here? (not that Jeff Foxworthy is a homophobe though he can play one at celebrity roasts)

[joelwiklund90]

Who the hell disliked this? Seriously? Who was it?

[DalionNeilHeart]

[alteregoash]

I love that it opens with a musical version of the "It gets better" song

[conanmammoth]

What incident was she talking about at 4:28 when she mentioned Justin Bieber?

[louisianaboy86]

@conanmammoth Justin was on ellen's show a couple of weeks before this one, and they were talking about some of the kids that committed suicide, and the bullying that Justin goes throu from the people that dont like him.

[TheKoolguy34]

he is every glbtq,s hero even mine!

[QueenIsabella18]

I'm so proud to have him as a councilman in our city.

[jamessfromtx]

Not only do I admire what he did, but I love the fact that he's from Texas and giving us a better name.

... oh, and he's very handsome.

[texboi100]

LIKE LIKE LIKE

As a gay texas teenager who is currently growing up and going to school close to where he went really opened my eyes to see what's going on. And sadly enough not much has changed. This bullying and harassment HAS TO STOP. If we want to see more gay/lesbian/bisexual an many more teenagers to suffer thru this then continue on doing what is being done. But, this NEEDS to STOP. It hurts me as well to see all these teens kill themselves then we HAVE to take action and do something abo

[rrsrichard]

What a wonderful man. 

[mini0316]

Joel Burns has kept me going when i thought i was done

[ssassboy]

The guy looks like he's walking a catwalk when coming onto the show.

[vegas787]

@ssassboy What do you expect he's a cute, well dressed gay guy!

[bradstar91]

I admire him...

[martingulbrandsen]

This man became my hero in the moment I watched that video..

[bjkilganan]

what a wonderful mother

[rscmrcmd]

I think I'm in love.

[UbraZ]

Joel Burns for President!

[YouStoleMyTube]

<3 That accent is so cute! <3

[delfigre]

Certainly, this is the kind of politicians and governors every country needs: people who really care about what is best for their citizens and try hard to do as much as they can to help.

[PurushaDesa]

He's got a nice Mum by the sounds of it.

[mo9o]

Beautiful.

[pinchofoomph]

My new hero!

[GraceRox16]
