  • it IS an unforgiving world- I have PTSD because it is

  • This is even more moving now. Thank you for coming out Zach. I am so fkn proud of you. You have changed the lives of so many young people without even realising how much of an impact you have. Thank you Zachary.

  • Oh Zachary. :) Not only are you an amazing actor, obviously you are an amazing person as well. Any famous actor or actress or star that is willing to go through the hate along side the gay community is worthy of endless praise.

    :) You rock Mr. Quinto. And to everyone out there, it DOES get better.

  • Marry me dear Zac...aaah i absolutely love this man!!!

  • Wow, awesome!!!

  • This man. <3

  • It sounds like he's about to cry, and his eyes are red like. He's been crying

  • i see this video.. and my eyes fill with tears.. every time. I love that he's speaking to everyone, and he honestly sounds like he's about to cry, and he knows the names of some of these kids.... He's such an inspirational person, and truly wonderful man.

  • Every time I see this video, My eyes are fill with tears. Thank you Zach for this message. And I do believe that life is worth of living.

    My love and blessings to you ZQ

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks Zachary for your words.

  • Does it get better for all of us or just the homosexuals? Does it get better for me or am I without hope?

  • @relientk58 It absolutely gets better for everyone. ABSOLUTELY.

  • I am in love with Zachary Quinto!!!

  • I promise it does get better!

  • holy crap this video made me cry. I can't help but watch it over and over again. he has so much emotion in his voice. thank you zach. <3

  • Thank you.

  • live long & prosper. 

  • some of us dont matter

  • @jacklaren everyone matters

  • Very well said Mr.Quinto:)

  • this the guy from heroes?

  • @pagoogly yeah thats Gabriel Gray AKA Sylar!!! too bad the show is cancelled ='(

  • @pagoogly I think so, and also the one who play Spock in star trek (2009).

  • Live long and prosper.

  • This was a really good heartfelt video. It's important to have people from whatever orientation showing their support, and i love that so many straight celebs have also joined in. I am straight and this made me cry a little because some of my family members are gay and did struggle with it as did some of my friends.

  • aww. i love Zach Quinto he made me fall for Spock all over again!

  • I LOVE YOU ZACHARY ( SYLAR )!!!

  • I love you Zachary!!!! Marry me...in Canada!!!

  • sup Sylar

  • holy cow he just made me cry...it seemed as if it was personal for him in some way...god he's amazing...

  • @svrldsmntlsfan1 Yeah, it did seem personal to him.

  • good to hear his voice again, and for something like this :-)

  • ZQ in my opinion is to start a coward or whatever is your life let it be! will not affect anything and is being worth your mother ps (ernestlsewell) is a great person with q values actually present society has lost ... coward?? haha it reminds at all this "You Know What Would Truly make the world a Better Place? if ..." and on the other side is a great actor, great and people like make the world a better place to live life! thanks ZQ

  • ps en mi opinion ZQ no es para empezar ni un cobarde y sea lo que sea es su vida dejalo ser !!! no te afecta en nada y ps te viene valiendo madre (ernestlsewell) es una gran persona con valores q realmente en la actualidad la sociedad ha perdido... cobarde ??? jaja para nada recueras esto "you know what would truly make the world a better place? if..." y por otro lado es un gran actor, excelente y por personas como el hacen del mundo un lugar mejor donde vivir la vida! grax ZQ - chicharo

  • thanks z :)

  • Thank you. Zachary for raising your voice and reminding us that through it all it can get better

  • silar! i miss Heroes!....you are a HERO

  • @12249pEST what ever happen 2 that show?

  • @goldenthoth it was cancelled because viewers kept decreasing each season.

  • This is proof positive that it takes a really good person to play such a good villain. I <3 Syler!

  • Well said Mr Quinto!

  • Thank you for putting yourself out there Zachary, and for helping foster hope for a better life.

    Jeremiah

  • The bottom line is this: If you bully someone Sylar will find you and eat your brains.

  • thank you for providing a resource for the youth! you're a dear.

  • i watched this and it made me cry. i watched it a second time, and it made me cry harder. i love you and your motivation, caring, and hope while others are in a worse place than you. you'll always make me smile, and i'm sure you make so many others just as happy, as well. thank you.

  • Zachary Quinto is the cutest and sweetest actor right now. I love him. And now he also shows that he has a good heart too. LU Zachi

  • For every celebrity that wants to claim "it gets better" there is a hundred thousand regular people where it didn't and never will get better. That's the reality. The only chance of it getting better is if you are one of the people making these "it gets better" videos. Because only rich/famous people are making these videos. And yeah, if you're Ellen Degenerous it gets better cuz you have millions of dollars. But for everyone else, it really doesn't get better. That's the sad truth.

  • @jpatton1989 you don't know what the hell you're talking about. first of all, not everyone making these videos is a celebrity. second, i'm neither rich or famous, and it most DEFINITELY got better for me.

  • @jpatton1989 I have to with all due respect, disagree with your statement. Most of those who made these videos are neither rich or famous. If you go onto The Trevor Project website you will see that they are just regular people-gay, lesbian, straight, bi and transgender, who are trying to make a difference in a young person's life by bringing a message of hope.

  • And for those celebrities, like Zachary, who did video messages, they can sometimes reach someone who has admired them from seeing them on TV in a way that others can't. So whether these messages are from celebrities or just us regular people, the message remains the same that there is always hope and that people do care. And if that message reaches just one person and brings positive change then it's a good start.

  • Thank you! It does get better.

  • Thank you.

  • Thanks Spock! :3 That was logical.

  • love you Zach!

  • Hmm.. I think he's actually the very first straight man I have seen in my entire life who defend gay people... I think he's pretty much the only one... or one of the few... sad...

  • @Gudulpif - That's really sad that you feel that way. Many of my straight friends have defended and continue to defend gay people. I hope you come across some of these people soon. :)

  • a beautiful and moving message. i have troubles with suicidal ideation, as my psych calls it, and it's an everyday struggle. knowing there are other people like me is empowering. it's impossible to feel alone when you see so many people like you. thank you for raising your voice, zq. i am in constant and quiet awe. i've seen little bootleg clips of angels in america and if i weren't so f'ing broke, i would find a way to go see it. anyone who can, should see it on my behalf! keep spreading love.

  • Thanks  Zachary

  • @Calcj002 you inspired me to make a video as well!

  • you inspired me to post a video!

  • eloquent

  • MY GOODNESS HE IS SOO CUTE !! 

  • Aaaaand.....I just teared up! So beautiful!

  • @lukasharmanius12

    everyone starts somewhere- he wasn't always a famous actor. instead of being a negative voice why not say something that will actually do some good? think about that...

  • @lukasharmanius12 no amount of money can stop hatred and abuse

  • Uhhhh I don't think it gets better by just saying "it gets better". I am a African American male with a half black president and people still see me as a theif or a rapist. It will only get better if you fight to make it better.

  • i don't think Zac is gay, but who cares if he is... he is an amazing actor and person.

  • @Tomishungry Indeed!

  • @Tomishungry I agree. I'm a straight, amateur actor and would definitely put out the same message if I got to level he is.

  • Thank you Zachary

  • Sylar killed a teenage cheerleader and countless others!!! He is not the greatest person to represent anti-bullying.... also considering he likes to remove the tops of people's heads and touch their brainz

  • @LiveToThink LOL I was thinking that too.

  • @LiveToThink Sylar maybe, but last I checked, Zachary Quinto never killed anybody.

  • Please come back Heroes :( RIP :(

  • I love this world thanks to people like him and many other great people, I wish I can say I am one of them.

  • @mhmjawsh

    Often they are. It's easier to read written words aloud than to make a concise, coherent message on the fly. That does not mean that they aren't his words or that he didn't write them.

    I applaud Mr Quinto for this as he hails from western PA as do I. If I'd had someone willing to read these words to me as I was growing up, perhaps I wouldn't have felt so despondent then. It does get better.

  • I'm so happy to see this. I've always respected Zachary Quinto as an actor (he was the only reason to watch Heroes, as far as I'm concerned) and he was very kind the time that I met him. The more exposure this project gets, the more people it will reach, so heartfelt celebrity endorsements (without the "We Are the World" hokeyness) are especially helpful--- and probably mean a lot to the bullied LGBT youth.

    The soothing music is a nice touch.

  • This coming from the guy that killed all those people in heroes...-_- jk

  • Thank you Zachary for this emotional and heartfelt message. At the end of the day we are all simply human beings trying to find our place within the world no matter what communities we belong to. We are all looking for love, acceptance and connection with others who will celebrate our differences and our uniqueness. It Gets Better.

  • i antisipate have high hope s tr treck 2 will be better than the first.

  • i dont agree with bullying but it will never cease, food chain and all that

  • Thanks so much zachary!

  • iTS A CRUEL WORLD OUT THERE,THATS FOR SURE.LOVE THE PAINTING AT THE BACK

  • I love this guy to bits

  • Dear ZQ, Thank you for making such a heartfelt statement on this heartbreaking phenomenon.

    Cyber-bullying -- all bullying -- needs to stop. People need to treat each other with compassion or at least tolerance.

    Live and let live. Let others be at peace and be who they are without shame. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

  • Most heartfelt and Impassioned plea for young people to seriously reconsider taking their own lives that I've seen. He is so hurt and sincere (;_;)

    It does, it really does get better! And one doesn't have to be struggling with issues of sexual orientation to need this message, everyone needs this message!

    Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Remember, even though it doesn't seem like it now, the problem is temporary... It /will/ get better! ^_^

  • See. Sylar/Spock has a heart.

  • Oh la la et dire qu'il est méchant méchant dans "Heroes", il est mon personnage préféré et tellement beau !!!!!!! Wouah !!!! Merci, merci de nous aider !!

  • yo sylar is that a painting of the future?

  • Zachary Quinto is attractive!!! Haha and it's really great what al these actors are doing for all those people out there it is very wrong for kids to be made fun of by others just because they are different. I think there are people god sent into this world to be different, and there are also people made to help others and be there for a friend. I feel I'm a second type of person but and I'm happy that I feel the need to help my friends

  • Top Dog Zach :)

  • When our government is telling people that they can't serve in the army, openly gay, they're teaching our kids the same damn thing. So stop being so suprised when kids in middle school are pushing these kids to death.. Everyone is equal, no matter what color, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else.

  • @JackieeeBieber Right on. Also, when "That's so GAY" is used as a jokey but disparaging comment, it encourages jokey but disparaging treatment of gay people and issues.

    My dearest friend spent 22 years in the military, closeted, and was fortunate not to be discovered. The Army has wasted million$ b/c they trained and then ousted translators discovered to be gay.

    I cannot say enough how much I regret what happened to those poor kids. And the bullying that's still going on. It needs to stop!

  • Sometimes we don't believe life is worth living but messages like this sometimes help us get through the day.

    <3 to all those you filmed messages.

  • We do live in chaotic and cruel world, but it's because of people like Zachary Quinto that it gets better. -3

  • thanks

  • This is probably the best one yet. Although it feels very weird to be hearing something meant to be healing like this from Sylar. But then again, if you're broken, he can fix it.

  • Good job on the video man!! People are unaware of how much something like this issue means and the grasp is has. People need to speak out for EVERYONE'S rights.

    Remember, Life changes, and for the better it you trust in your self! How will anyone believe in you if you dont? IT Gets Better....IGB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you so much, Zachary. This video was unbelievably touching and I know we can all help those who need support anywhere. So thank you for supporting this cause; it's people like you that help change lives and for that and from all of us here we are thank you.

  • Thank you so much Zach for speaking out! I have so many friends that are part of the LGBTQ community, and they've been going through such a hard time. Thank you for using your publicity for a great cause! You're amazing!

  • Thank you.

    Thank you thank you thank you.

  • awwwww....Sylar loves us!!!

  • AHHHHH SILER!!!!!!!!!! HAHA

  • Wow, Zachary. Good job with this vid. It really got to my heart listening to this.

    Respect <3.

  • One of the million reasons i respect Zachary so much! Great message!

  • Ya know, ZQ keeps earning more and more of my respect. <3

  • its a honor for us to share this world with people like Zach.

  • I <3 you soo much

  • Syler I love you.

  • beautiful, it's great to know that we have someone like you to stand strong with us, thanks Zach :)

  • beautiful zach, beautiful message of hope

  • omg could you be anymore adorable! <3

    love you quinto

  • thank u for the video Zach, i ADORE u! 

  • Yo Sylar! When is Heroes coming back??

  • @gianpierre its not it finished

  • @gianpierre

    It ain't coming back. Show was cancelled :-\

  • I'm not sure he's the right person to deliver this message. I was too distracted by gazing into his eyes to actually listen to what he was saying.

  • @Teaandcakesandices yeah, me too

  • @Teaandcakesandices

    yes, it's getting better, doesn't it?

  • @Teaandcakesandices I know.....too hot

  • @Teaandcakesandices Yes, I'm with you on that one! x

  • So eloquent and touching. ZQ is amazing.

  • Zachary Quinto....you are a super hero. Thank you for this.

  • Thanks Zach. <3

  • Thanks you so much Zach. you're truly an angel in disguise. God will always bless you for being positive & for being a true inspiration to everyone. you're so real.

  • @omhassan7 he's a beacon of hope for someone feeling that way. even me. I've been feeling real lost. and it does get better. mom told me that so long ago but it's like you can's conceive it until others spread the word and show you. i am about to cry now just thinking about all the young ppl out there feeling confused and alone and even after this video they might not see & therefor not knowing it's ppl who cares this much for there lives.

  • and if you don't listen he will slice open your brain and flick you against the nearest wall.

  • @MadroxUk LOL!

  • Aww thanks Zachary was feeling pretty down today and this cheered me up a bit, as I know you're supportive and that life has it's up and down moments.

  • That's I love ZQ and will support him in whatever he does, he is such a talented and awesome human being!!!

  • Rest in peace, all of you young angels who didn't find the love and acceptance in this world that you needed and deserved. May we learn from their senseless deaths and be there for others who are in similar pain... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • thank you zachary!

  • No one else's video have brought me close to tears, even shane dawson's video which was really sad.

    I just wish those people who have taken their lives this past month had seen all these videos before they made their decision.

  • It's terrible when ppl beat up ppl and bully ppl.

    I see kids who are mean every day. They tease kids because of their shoes even though their school has uniforms, they find something to pick at the child about.

    I saw a kid tease another child today because the child's father passed!!!

    Yes, this is maddening!

    It starts in the home. Parents are just biological and are not raising their kids with ethics nor empathy for one another.

    Sad but true.

  • THANK YOU for pointing out that these are in fact the names we have come to know, and that there are countless others who have been subjected to this kind of bullying and this same fate, this same feeling of loneliness, like this is all there is and no one is there to help or ever will be. While awareness is being risen and that is a great thing, it bothers me that people keep talking about these recent suicides as if this has never happened before and it HAS! Many times. Its ok to be LGBTIQQKP!

  • ur voice is warm

  • Thank you Gabriel Gray : ]

  • Thank you, Zachary. My family--of diverse complexions, orientations, interests, and goals--thanks you. Let's hope that this message will remind someone in despair that there are choices, options, and that there is hope.

    Thank you.

  • Truly a wonderful message from a beautiful person. (inside & out)

  • Thank you for the video Zach! :) 

  • this summer i was outed by people i knew from high school. Six people i grew up with jumped me and beat the shit out of me. 6 against one girl. Nobody stopped them and nobody helped me. I've never knew i was capable of so much hatred until that day.

    But the thing that kept me going was knowing that I deserved better then this.

    Knowing that is what keeps me strong and happy. It's so rare to being seen as human, I feel like ur words mended a small part of my heart. You are a good man.

  • @samiblueeyes311

    It's good to grow strong in heart, not to sink down to the level of bullies or those who have been bullied and mistreated at home, who turn against mankind without learning any empathy, of understanding what other's have gone through and to lend a hand and voice. I've heard many situations where teens have been very badly beaten, yet no one bothered to stop it, or helped. I know what you mean.

  • @samiblueeyes311 very brave of you. i hope you are getting more support now. i know that was hard. but, you made it through! you shold definately be an advocate bc you've seen the worse and are alive to talk about it! hats off to you!

  • @samiblueeyes311 You are such a brave girl & you are loved <3

  • @samiblueeyes311 Similar things have been done to me, it does get better. And I hope that one day everything will get better for you. *hugs*

  • @samiblueeyes311 hi, i'm from italy and i just read your comment cuz i was watching zachary's vid and... i just wanted to tell you that even if i don't know you and i will probably never will i'm so deeply sorry that something so horrible happened to you. to me it's beyond crazy that things like these still happen and that people can just walk by and not get outraged and intervene. i wish you all the best in the world, you're strong and brave and right now i'd just like to hug you. xoxo

  • @samiblueeyes311 I wish I could give you a big hug right now sweetheart. It does get better, there are people out there who are going to love and accept you for the amazing, strong and beautiful person that you are.

  • @samiblueeyes311 stay strong!! i hope you see this and know that there are truly people in this world who care. <3

  • i pity the two people who rated this thumbs down

    this was gorgeous, thank you zq

  • Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule and making a video your fans miss seeing you on TV (heroes) <3

  • It is refreshing to see so many people, whatever their orientation, banning together to support, uplift, and encourage a group of people who need it so desperately. Thank you on behalf of the people in my life who need comfort and a little encouragement right now. : )

  • I love you.

  • Thank you Zachary, I wish I was lucky enough to have some one like you in my life.

  • to everybody struggling to find an identity...please, keep hope. There are people to talk to...you are not alone. Your life matters.

  • Zach, you are such a beautiful person. Thank you for using your position to do so much good for the gay community.

  • Thank you. Thank you. Thank You, and I will

  • Thank you so much Zach, you really don't know how much this meant to me. I started crying watching this video because I could tell you mean it, and it's an emotional subject.

    One of my close LGBTQ friends committed suicide on Sept. 13, and it's been possibly the most difficult thing to deal with.

    I know as a fellow member of the LGBTQ community it's difficult and at many times it really sucks, but support has been everything to me and is the reason I'm still here.

    Thank you again Zach

  • @molekey I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find support from PFLAG and other people in the community to help you get through your sorrow. Continue and grow strong and prosper.

  • Oh man you can see that Zach is getting really emotional. Bravo to another actor using their fame and name to draw more attention to the trevor project and the recent string of suicides as well as all the discrimination. negativity, and difficulties the LGBT community face.

  • my god i love this man.  thank you for being so amazing, zach.

  • Totally loved you on Star Trek. Thanks for the video :)

  • Thankyou *hugs*

  • amazing.

  • STAR TREK STANDS WITH LGBT!!

  • thank you for adding your voice

  • His voice is beautiful.

    Okay, now that that's out of the way, that video was really touching. I'm glad people are using their celebrity to spread a good message.

  • OMG you're gonna make me cry.

  • Your video is absolutely amazing! Your honesty and compassion is shining through Zach...thank you so much for sharing.

  • Thank you for your video. One of the most eloquent and heartfelt clips on here from a celebrity.

  • Thank you, Mr Quinto!
