It Gets Better

[RawrJustRawr]

Oh I love you so much... <3

[Paynekillr]

God I see so much of me in u! Thank u so much for this -3

[ItsJamesOBrien]

I stopped listening after you said you lived with the love of your life because it shattered my fantasy of somehow bumping into you getting off of a subway train and dropping my books and having you bend down to help me pick them up and then locking eyes with me and then you missing your train as we go to get coffee and oh my god what is wrong with me. Your boyfriend is a lucky man. You're as hilarious as you are handsome. A rare combo these days.

[mimiluvs2sing]

N I watched you... And it got better -3 u Michael

[mimiluvs2sing]

Simply amazing... You make me not want to die because I'm in a dark dark closet. I'm not honest at all. When I walk down the hall with my "bf" and hold his hand, I don't look at him and hush my urge to cry. And usually the guys I date turn out to be homophobes so I dump them and half to make up excuses because I'm terrified. I'm already at a new school and have like 3 friends tops. I don't eat for christs sake. I'm an atheist! And I'm a closet lesbian. And I cut. And I was ready to die. But the

[TatouSolitaire]

This is one of the better It Gets Better videos that I have come across. You express yourself fantastically, making yourself warm and accessible with humor and then touching with sentiment. I thank you for an invaluable addition to the movement.

[Equistta]

Molested or Arrested! That's hilarious ...and kinda true. So funny! Also, P.S. Glee is the BOMB!

[ScottAdventures]

thanks for lightening up the "it gets better" speeches! you are so funny and yet so sincere -- GREAT VID! the world is a better place with YOU in it!

[diplomatty1]

love. you.

[MrNaong]

Hey, resent that first remark! I do not listen to Lady Gaga. And also, Glee does suck. :P :D

[ArrowofArtemis]

This is quite possibly my favorite video of all the ones I've watched so far. :D Let's talk about my trip to Revelation City when you said that it was more about the lie than about who you were, and then when you came out, you took away the bullies' power and fodder. Damn. I had never thought of it in those terms, but you are so right on. Much love to you, sir. :) Thanks!

[vicboi87]

you sir, are awesome. what an exceptional video.

[brimsauce]

Well said. Funny, sincere but not over the top dramatic . Kids hate that stuff!

[shallowmic]

OMG! I love this video.

[markanthony16]

You're so funny but you also convey a strong message that queer youth can relate and understand easily.

Thanks for sharing :)

[AnimeFanOmega]

Lol dude you're awesome. I'm 16 and have only come out to some of my family and one friend but I know it'll get better. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement. I'm going to subscribe because you, my sir, are frankly the shit. Lol.

[spenceroakesdawson]

Yay Michael! I am proud to know you and proud of you!!!!!

[patadeurso]

Im from Europe, and what is mostly odd, is that most of suicide cases come from United States, what i see that the what it needs to be change is the parents education, because parents are the ones who pass the mesasge to their sons and the homophobia in teens its because of wrong education at home.

And good video.

[sarathoughtonnothing]

"a prison sceane might be kind of..." i laughed so hard. this video is amazing and you are awesome.

[bibbeny]

You are so funny. And I am glad for you. As a straight/ asexual I think you are great. I'm glad you are happy.

[tcbillyleung]

Oh boy and you are hot!

[DJd3monic]

exuse me.. just because i'm gay doesn't mean i like lady gaga, ugh.

[seangwaltney]

I'm sorry I'm having difficulty understanding you.

I think it would help greatly if you remade this without your shirt on.

[lktolaff]

Thank you for posting this video, I hope it helps someone who is really in a bad place. You are soooo funny!

[osuwarudo15]

Great video!

:D

Thanks for making it!

[prplmnky]

I hope this project inspires you to make more videos. I'll subscribe.

[harendhrenra]

You're serious,funny and inspirational. Its just like watching Golden girls! ;D

[TurtleNYC]

@harendhrenra Try living with this Golden Girl. I do. ;)

[AiRamosPro]

P.S. You make it sound like gay's are like bat's or vampire..

"You come out!" lol.. I'm straight... but I'm not a homophobic. Ya'll funny as hell..

[AiRamosPro]

MOLESTED OR ARRESTED.. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[RangerPupSF]

Love this! Go, you!

[TimTomWho]

Hey just wanted to say that I loved the video and the message in it. You delivered it with sass and class! I also wanted to say that Glee does NOT suck!....... You jerk...ugh! I can't believe you said that!

[BochsOfficePoison]

OMG. Why are you so ridiculously sex-bombbed?!

Me want.

(yes, I watched your message and took it to that level....)

[thatquietkid]

Glee does suck.

[QueerSwede1]

homo -gay- sexual hehehe love it!

[EliisntEmo]

I am subscribing for the shear fact you did this video... and you said "homogaysexual"

[Workerbot]

I was also called a girl! I thought it was the lamest insult ever! I can honestly say I love being gay and having gay friends to live life with.

[LatumWay]

"I do what I want to do"

What do you do?

[MotoroBreakz]

OMFG i found the same thing!! It all got better the moment i came out!!

[MotoroBreakz]

On the name calling note- you're probably not the only one they're calling those names- they're calling everything gay, faggots etc these days....

When they call you these names say "and?  Your point is?" It really gets them fuming!

[electronica1985]

Hey i know you!! I saw u in a show at UCB... a friend of mine was in your group ... Great Vid :)

[PMJCB3]

Michael, you've delivered a beautiful message.

[garzaesparzagustavo]

OMG, did you just say Glee sucks? [insert angry/sassy message]

[WickedRed3]

Michael, thank you so much for your response to the "It Gets Better Project". Your video is hilarious and touching. You had me cracking up....then with your serious parts you had me shedding a few tears. Thank you for encouraging me and so many others that life may be tough, but it gets better!!! :)

[ChefKazzey]

hilarious but on a serious note, thank you

[TheManray05]

"Molested or arrested" LMAO. I still LOVE this video. Came back to watch it again.  I love my people, and you remind me why.

[TheManray05]

I LOVE your video. What a wonderful contribution. I have great hope for this project.

You live up to it.

[brokeduke19]

I gave it a Like despite what he said about Glee.

[colettekathryn]

As much as we can do, from a teacher's perspective; stopping the class dead when someone utters, "that's so gay", to have it posted in our room, to listen...carefully, there is nothing more powerful and hopeful than to hear/see these stories. Bless you for doing this. XX

[atnightmostly]

I'm so proud of you for this! Way to represent WNY; this message is so important

[niggitynignig]

LOL@ turning off the lady gaga for three seconds, have a great weekend!

[mikontisott]

Thanks Michael, bootiful, perfect, it gets better!

[idafunkit]

Thanks Michael, laughed, struck a tear, and my complete attention in 6 minutes and 26 seconds. THANKS FOR SHARING. IT DOES GET BETTER...

[dercola7474]

Michael, you're so damn funny. AND, Ms. Lady, you made me cry, too. Double f'in whammy! I love you.  Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm meeting The Love of Your Life for a drink now at Gym. See you there??? Mwah!

[mydoggie01]

I really like your video. Although I happen to like Glee and I'm straight :-) It's all good ;-)

[kyleyork92]

You are so funny but so serious at the same time. I'm a senior in high school and I'm going through a pretty rough time. Thanks for being such an inspiration, you're an amazing person. From the bottom of my heart, thank you (:

[MichaelHartney]

@kyleyork92 Nope, thank YOU. You're the reason we're all doing this.

[Sebizzar]

@kyleyork92 LOL i know when he said "homogaysexual" & did that gesture omg i couldn't stop laughing xD

[MCCreighton]

Great, Michael. Great.

[mattklang]

Love it. What a great positive message. Love our great community for the things we will do for each other!

[bcpmx]

Wow, you are amazing. If I take 50 more takes for my video I still wouldn't be half as natural as you!

[JesusHBiscuit]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIG NOW!!!!!! Thank you for saying everything in YOUR "It Gets Better" video that I wanted to say in mine but didn't. I adore you, Michael.

[WingAg05]

BAHAHA! I can't believe this made me laugh so hard. "HAY GAY KIDS!" "They called me girl a lot... that was fun." hahaha

[Moni32002]

Hey, MIchael. I commented on your vid the first time it was up. It made me laugh out loud in several places and it has the perfect amount of sincerity. (Also love the "homogaysexual". As a lesbian, I thought I'd have to have an afro and hairy armpits. Liberating to know I can shave. We put our own vid up and I showed my wife yours. Thanks for being so entertaining!

[THEROBBIEKSHOW]

homogaysexual..lol..love it Michael :) Now back to that prison scene...
