this is awesome

[AnitaCock]

ATLANTA Fulton County District Attorney would NEVER prosecute L.G.B.T hate crimes, simply because ATLANTA is CORRUPT! It's so bad here, that even 'KING & SPALDING' lawyer Ray BALTZ Jr. CAN VIOLATE L//G/B/T CIVIL RIGHTS! Coca-Cola Enterprizes claims to be 'gay friendly', but they $ponsor a ALL WHITE HOMOPHOBIC HATE GROUP which still violates the basic civil rights of law abiding gays; YouTube 'Buckhead Baseball Atlanta' to read 'comments' under their video. BOYCOTT Coca-Cola

[dougben1]

Go girl , how beautiful !!! God bless

[JasonDRosenberg]

They showed this video at the ADL's annual jurisprudence luncheon yesterday. Many hundreds of Atlanta's lawyers watched in stunned silence - not something lawyers are known for being able to do! It made me proud to be a part of the ADL, and proud of you, though we've never met, for making such a powerful statement for equality and tolerance - and all without saying a word. Best of luck to you, in all that you do. And don't worry, if you can get through h.s., you can get through anything.

[mamatweetyful]

So glad you are true to yourself! Great video! Thanks for sharing your story!

[heckyesitsbec]

CONGRATZ GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! you totally inspired me, i hope you find some one you deserve it hun <3 much love

[Trafalgar1961]

Loveley video. Stay Happy :-)

[TgHaileyjo]

Awesome job!! I'm so happy that you did this!! Be Proud of who you are!! Don't ever let anyone put you down. Follow your Heart and continue to be Strong! I wish you all the best on your continued journey in life. Im sure that you have inspired more out here to be themselves and to be proud of who they are. You are a true role model for our youth. May this video continue to inspire more to understand that they can come out and be themselves. We are all human, and Love knows no boundries. Hailey

[EqualityRevolt]

An absolutely beautiful person and presentation. Adults in America need to wake up and realize that ages 11-12 (roughly 6th grade) is when many of us begin having crushes; it is the HEART which begins to awaken, not always just the "naughty bits"......been watching Monty Pythons reruns so excuse the phrase.

I hope this inspires MORE children to COME OUT with the courage you display.

[FreedomUSA1]

Wow, every time I watch this video it gives me a warm, peaceful feeling.

[alfcab]

great. thumbs up!

[Saiku123]

Great job :) keep doing what you do to make this world better, good luck!

[tiffanymariebateman]

Thank you. This is a wonderful video. I have felt the same way, except, my family didn't accept me for a long time. And it does get better. They have come around and I am finally able to live the life I want and I am happy.

[lithiumhoney]

Love the video (and love your username!). I too struggled as you did, and I'm glad to see you moving on, being strong, and being happy!

Rock on! :)

[fanipepa]

MUAH. words can' quite describe the struggles you went through

you're a just greatness all over, sunshine and POWER.

This video would reach places where darkness reigns, and it will lighten them up with YOUR testimony.

[oceanofwaves]

that song makes me feel odd

watch boys dont cry the movie

and listen to gay rude boys by leftover crack

girls are bangn hot so i could see where your comeing from

[AlabamaRiverMan]

Thats awesome sis! Great going. Wish you all the best. Be who you are no matter what. We only get one chance at life and we have to take whatever cards are dealt to us.

Love you sister!

[melnathan2]

Wonderful Job - we put a response to it on LEZGETREAL

[SuperTastemyrainbow]

@melnathan2 could you give me a link to that?

[robertfrankstrait]

Great video ! I'm proud of you.

[alesssurprise]

This is very powerful. Thank you for sharing this. ♥

[LMitzi]

You are beautiful & amazing. :)

[HawkeeAnimeFanatic88]

You and your story are so beautiful. You're so brave for putting yourself out there and telling your story. I wish I had your courage. I wish you happiness for the rest of your life. <3

[smittylee0298]

I am so glad to see you put yourself out there like this. It's empowering and good for the community when we all tell our stories. It reminds the bullies, the hypocrites and the religious zealots, that we're all the same. Love is universal, love is blind, love is beautiful. Love knows no gender, it knows no color. Just because I love a boy, and because you love a girl, society sees us as weird. But we're not. We're doing the best we can to love and be loved by someone else. Thank you, very much.

[misirlou234]

This wins in every possible way! This is amazing Marina! Really inspirational.

[onefieryfemme]

it is a beautiful thing and an act of bravery to transform your pain by using your experience to help others. bravo.

[therealgtarbeast666]

i am sorry you live in the unprogressive south. we have a LGB club at my school, as do most of the schools in the capitol of idaho (boise). even though we are THEE most conservative state, no one really cares anymore.

[stevesukar]

Good for you,i know only too well what it is like to be bullied and to find yourself and be able to be happy w/ who you are.Hope you are well and may each new day bring you all the happiness you deserve xoxo

[Rumake]

How do you fight bullying? One way is to give them role models by having young LGBT professional go into the schools.

Marina, Yours is a beautiful story wrought with pain, fear, and bullying yet conquered by your loving parents and your own courage to be true to yourself. Your message that "It Does Get Better" is wonderful! Thank you!
