Allison Weiss: IT GETS BETTER

[SapphireSundrops]

I wanted to thank you for showing that it can get better. It's one thing to see someone like Ellen say this, but for me watching this video of a girl only 3 years older than me and someone who is on a path like mine actually hit closer to home for me. So thank you

[gilmoreismygod]

Life is the fucking best!

[vindennl48]

Shoot, now I need a sex change... Keep doing what you're doing Weiss! You are awesome!

[scubaskyd]

this is a great video, and to everyone whos gay, it gets better. when you find that right person it gets a million times better and I wouldnt want it any other way

[huffelpuffheir]

I intend to high-five you

[Mohlinder92]

I totally adore you! This world needs more people like you :)

[Jerman81]

So u got something against dick? That's racist

[Fang271513]

@Jerman81 why, you got something against pussy? cause it's pretty damn great man.

[EmilySnicket14]

Good god, some of these comments sound like parodies. I think more people should take part in this campaign against bullying and it's very good that you posted this. Clearly there are many ignorant people in the world.

[JenerallyxSpeaking]

I still love this. Let's date. No, seriously. Seriously.

[MrBric12]

Being gay is a curse. You are mental deranged. You are a feminazi! All gays need to be exterminated.

[Fang271513]

@MrBric12 you need to be exterminated

[MrBric12]

@Fang271513 Come try!

[Fang271513]

@MrBric12 I really would, but I mustn't waste my time on ignorant people like yourself, which is hypocritical since I'm replying to your comment, but I feel that I must stand up for others that are like me. Even if I was not gay, I think that your sexual orientation makes you no more or less of a person. Perhaps with time, people will learn to accept others for who they are and look past these sort of things.

[IsupportBP]

ok satanic girl, lets clear something

1. Dont hate me because im a christian. We dont hate you, YOU hate the bible, Jesus, and christians.

2. your deviation should be private, if you want to have sex with girls or relatives or masturbation its your business. Pervertion should be PRIVATE

3. Don act like a victim, you are not a victim, you are promoting IMMORALITY to teens and children, and GOD WILL PUNISH YOU FOR THIS CRIME

bye bye = )

[invisigoth841]

@IsupportBP cool story, bro

[TokioStackLove89]

@IsupportBP Lol, suck my dick.

Sincerely, a lesbian.

[LPsonger]

@IsupportBP The disease of God ...

[WaggleSack]

@IsupportBP you have no right to discriminate. youre the problem.'satanic girl'?really?what does any of this have to do with satanism?gay people dont hate the bible, i know a lesbian that is a catholic and is extremely commited to volunteering to the church. the victims of all this are the people being bullied and ridiculed and oppressed. i personally go to a catholic school, two things i have learned are that the bible speaks out against oppression and that so many christians are hypocrites.

[IsupportBP]

@WaggleSack we are all sinners, but some ppl are proud of their sins.Lesbians are very agressive if you dont agree with their lifestyle. That's why they are making "anti-discrimination" laws to sue any person who don't accept homosexuality

[scubaskyd]

@IsupportBP what is wrong with you? If someone doesn't support gay rights, they still don't have to discriminate on gays... If it has nothing to do with you, you can fuck off. Oh, and us lesbians, we don't go around toting our gayness to the world. We're proud of who we are, we love who we are. Anti-discrimination laws are being created so we can actually be treated like an american citizen, like an actual human being. So fuck off, and I'll see you in hell.

[IsupportBP]

@scubaskyd discrimination, hu? gays/lesbians have bars and Olympic Games for gays and lesbians ONLY. I want to work in a gay bar, as a christian str8 woman u think i have any possibility to get a job there? the lesbian/gay Olympic Games will allow me to participate? Im a good runner but... Im str8 and christian. Fuck off

[scubaskyd]

@IsupportBP Well I bet if you applied they'd give you a fair chance. Us gays, we don't discriminate against other people of religion or minorities. The only reason I wouldn't hire you is because you discriminate against gays. So what if gays have their own olympic games? There's the olympics that doesn't descriminate against everyone. I'm not racist, believe me. But what about scholarships that are only awarded to people of color? or colleges that only accept african americans or other colors?

[scubaskyd]

@scubaskyd They don't discriminate, and they surely aren't racist. They were created because they were discriminated against, so it gave them a fair chance to actually do something with their life and be someone.

[castlecrashersfanboy]

lol im a boy and i am not gay or bisexual and i think u should still keep on going also i love sgt frog

[SunnyBuggy]

you totally broke my heart! i had the biggest crush on you!

[omnom1805]

Ha "I'm totally gay!" Classic! You are supreme!

[lizbramlettmusic]

Allison, you are awesome and I'm so glad you made this video. I know a lot of girls look up to you and this speaks volumes. I'm so proud of your successes and I hope to run into you again sometime :) -a friend from Augusta, GA

[xEskimoEmilyx]

thank you :')

[thegothprincess01]

i have one word thanks

[SOindiee]

i wanna do high five with her and talk about our coolness. she's awesome

[muchosmerc]

This video contains profanity that I was not forewarned about, this is simply unacceptable

[Olivia2192]

Great! I loved this video!

[TheCon2007]

Yes. I love when people I admire make these videos. It totally does get better :) I love the shit out of you too!

[Megalicious1216]

I love you, marry me beautiful.

[fluffybunny360]

Date me?!

[emilyfoxy28]

You're hilarious :P Maaaan I wish I had this video like 4 yrs ago...

[courtiepuff]

WAIT YOU'RE GAY?! OH MY GAWD! YES! I didn't know. Now I do. This makes me so happy because I was like "I feel like she's gay" and I was right! And it ISN'T anything to be ashamed of. I LOVE being who I am. I wouldn't trade it for the world. WOO!!! This.. made my day. XDD <33333333333333333333333333333

[xLimewireJunkiex]

This made me smile so wide, and cry a little.

<3 you always know the right thing to say

[MiffedChinchilla]

You're awesome, I love you. <3 thanks Allison for being you. :o

[13495]

If I was gay, I would settle for no less of a woman than you. ♥

[xavier3417]

i like you allison but being gay is not right

[Juliuspaulfrank]

@xavier3417 fuck you.

[FightForYourFriends]

No Allison Weiss... I love the shit out of you!

[guitarQ77]

I had always thought you were the world's greatest musician. Watching this made me realize you're also the world's greatest person. GAY PRIDE!

[wild2dreamer]

those three words saved my life. It was the last you-tube video i watched... (Dancebeas) then I was put into inpatient and spent the next 4 months of my life attending daily extreme mental therapy. The phrase "It Gets Better" Is a phrase that saved my life. I don't know where I would be without it. The truth is: It DOES GET BETTER. Because life is what YOU make of it. Not what others make it for you. <3

[Izone508]

Your a lesbian? I'm a lesbian now.

[EmoMPCRAZY]

I would also like to say that if I may use comments on this video as part as my presentation and as words of encouragement to my fellow classmates seeing as I'm the president of my schools GSA. Please let me know if that's alright thank you

[EmoMPCRAZY]

I love this video you rock. Hey I'm going to make an English project about gay rights and gay injustice may I use your video as part of my presentation please send me a message with your reply.

[MeerFidge]

I didn't realize you had come out! And I'm all for not caring about people's sexual preference, but your amazingness just went from 100% to 110%.

ps please please please come to San Francisco again. Soon you'll be way too famous for me to brag about having gone. Also the doughnuts at Pier 39 are worth the trip, just saying.

[bowlosoup]

I just came your show in Boston last night. A guy that I have been talking to knew your music and wanted to see you, so we drove up from the military base in CT. You were incredible, and this video is just so special for me because I didn't know this about you at the time. Totally cannot wait for your new cd!

[juliatokiohotellover]

I'm gay. I'm currently in the process of coming out. People are so judgmental at my school(it's a Christen school, which sucks).

[bowlosoup]

@juliatokiohotellover I'm gay, went to a Christian school... thats really a tough situation. Just remember very, very few people that go to a Christian school are there because they love God and want to show that love to the world. They are teenagers just like you, with plenty of vices and sins that make them just as flawed as anyone else. Don't let them use God as a way to tear you down. God made you just the way he wants you, and your beautiful just for being you.

[juliatokiohotellover]

@bowlosoup Yeah. It is crazy there was a kid last year, one of my best friends, who came out and he was asked to leave the school just because he was gay. He was one of the top 10 students in the school too. That was not cool. But I really, really want t come out, but i don't want to be kicked out of school. :(

[monkey407]

Damn... I want to be your girlfriend. BUT FIRST... I must have a sex change. =D

[TheDesituber]

Noooo, I was going to ask you to marry me.Darn !

;)

[Exion7]

@TheDesituber So was I :(

[righton05]

So much hate. Are all these attacks really necessary? Nothing is getting accomplished, there is just a perpetuation of ignorance and malevolence.

[HanakoFujita]

I totally agree what your are saying! Some people don't like gay people in my school and I'm like... "Dude, love is f*cking free!!!" I'm a girl and i'm not gay, but if someone is denying gay people.... They better watch out for their tongue cause the cat is about to catch it. >:3

[MrNiggerfoot]

rug lappin drivel

[x3oblivion]

I would love to high five and talk about our coolness.

[tchocky12]

YOU ARE MY HERO Allison Weiss and I love you

[MegaCardboardRobot]

Wait, this whole time I dreamt of marrying you, you actually WERE gay?

Bitch.

Why am I just finding this out.

[MrEarcheese]

*high five*

[MIJVI]

Good vid' Allison! :)

[drowninwordsunspoken]

This was one of the best videos I have seen on YouTube, but unfortunately it does not convince me that it does get better. I love you, you're beautiful, and I'm proud/ jealous/ worshipful of you because you were able to do this. Still, I don't see how it'll get better for me. I still love you though.

[PrettyOddLights]

@drowninwordsunspoken What ever hell you're going through, it's got to end some day. It may not be this year, or the next, but it will get better. You will eventually leave the people who make fun of you and dont accept you. someday, you'll meet someone who will love you, or at the very least understand and befriend you. That's how life gets better.

[drowninwordsunspoken]

@wwwlllsssjjj i already tried. reported.

[wwwlllsssjjj]

@drowninwordsunspoken try harder fag

[CielCaresNot]

@wwwlllsssjjj Go to Hell. 

[wwwlllsssjjj]

@CielCaresNot fags first

[CielCaresNot]

@wwwlllsssjjj You should really learn how to spell. I'm proud of who I am, unlike you obivously. So-Back off.

[CielCaresNot]

@wwwlllsssjjj I'm a girl-Thank you. And it's spelt 'Loving' not 'loveing'. Also, by the way, yeah-Both my parents are proud of me.

[WaggleSack]

@wwwlllsssjjj you'[re are what is wrong with the world. i dont know what is wrong with you but theres nothing that makes you better than anyone else, and from the little that i know about you, i can confidently say that you are contributing to the problems of humanity

[kiness24]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU

[pojo1017]

[dead39bunny]

Watching this *again* Thank you Allison.

[SonnyDaze37]

Ty<3

[kysaxtc]

This is so amazing. I was the same way at first, being really afraid and scared about being gay, but I really fucking love it. You're right, it's amazing and nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and it DOES get better.

[Angemon38]

thank you... I love you too!!

[MyEclipse019]

The two who dislike this are either heartbroken, or homophobes... heres hoping there heartbroken because your gay. x

[exwhative]

ten thumbs up

[casserspow]

the two people who disliked this are homophobes 

[itsjustinleon]

You are one of my favorite musicians no matter what! It's great that you finally did this!

[blahhblehhqrrawr19]

Your Fucking Amazing ' x3

[AliceItoko]

I love you for this. And you're totally beautiful.

[Clau0990]

I love you even more for this. So proud of you!

[shadowbud17]

I'm one of the heartbroken :/ As a side note I think you're the shit and can't wait for more awesome videos.

[funkmaster4life]

I thank you for this video

personally i am straight however during school i was bullied to a very large extent and to the point were i was on the verge of being suicidal i wish back then there had been more people like you who didn't care what type of person you are but just enjoyed the fact that we are all people individuals living their lives however they see fit to live them all people deserve happiness no matter what THANK YOU ALLISON come to western ky. sometime and ill give ya a 5

[jonny1989uk]

[dammitsarah]

youre the best allison. thank you :)

[VooDooXII]

Nice work!

[uglieducklings]

i want to meet you so bad. you seem wicked cool <3

[BreakingUpStereotype]

This is made of bad-assery. Can I give you a pixelated high-five until then? Serious, serious immense material - AND SO TRUE. Brilliant people ;)

[murepoison]

you look like bianca from cocorosie... that´s a compliment :)

[ThankYouAndHello]

If gay isn't a big deal why placate to this hetero norm of 'coming out'. Coming out of what, its not a big deal. If family, friends and oneself was honest and observant we wouldn't need to.

I never came out and people knew. It isn't a big deal. Come out-fuck off.

To note on the recent publicised gay teen suicides. Unless a parent is willing to share with the authorities that their child was/is/ or possibly could have been gay; the suicide would be classified as (another) 'teen suicide'

[MarssRoxx]

awwww really!!?? but but but i wanted to marry you :(

[ridiculoidshark]

GOOD JOB ALLISON WEISS.

[ridiculoidshark]

GOOD JOB ALLISON WEISS.

[dead39bunny]

I literally had my fingers crossed (eeeyyyy, haha lame, yes) that she was. You are such an awesome person, this made me smile.

[yaoiluvr4eva]

ur so awesum x]

we jus had a talk about this in my racism & sexism class =)

i wish i could meet u in person lol u seem totally cool =D

[NoMSG]

This girl needs to speak on television, at high schools and just fuckin' everywhere there's the ears of our troubled youth. This is the right mindset for the upcoming generation. Preach it!

[calliopelynx]

1) i love the it gets better project!

2) i've been listening to your music recently & it's phenomenal!

3) when you said "i'm totally gay" i literally said "YAY!" out loud.

[girlfriendvoice]

Cheers!

[babtv]

Geez, the way you talk about it, I'm starting to wish I was gay.

[greenfunk]

i never would have thought you'd be gay. oh btw, i love you!!!

[misslee1028]

This is amazing! Go you! :)

[bigsexymurray1]

Hell yeah omg someone who thinks the same as me :)

[j00rd3ad]

Had no idea! 4 for you Allison Weiss you go Allison Weiss!

[crazendisturbed]

noooooo not another cute girl coming out the closet. As long as you're happy it's all right.

[zeta711]

Allison- you're great. Athens misses you :) (we love you too!)

[peelingyellowsiding]

I never questioned your sexuality and it was never a concern for me. Unfortunately, as you have pointed out, some people do seem to have their lives so figured out that they have nothing better to do but question, prod, judge, and sentence.

Good for you in coming to terms-not with your sexuality-but to the fact that the world is full of fearful, ignorant people. Stand tall. If you are true to yourself, you'll find true friendship, and hopefully true love.

Cheers, and don't quit making music.

[FrkFockMuah]

you are so awesome! great inspiration, thank you.

[AlicexCam]

I want to give you a hug. Just saying.

[TheJHam88]

I may be kind of dissapointed because I might have had a musician crush on you, but I'm really glad you are comfortable enough to tell everyone and not be ashamed.

Seriously, though. Totally rad.

[yaokjulie]

youre awesome. proud of this video and proud of you. this gives everyone so much hope

[greenhousejpb]

i am proud to know you

[chickadee4652]

This gives me hope everytime I watch it. <3 thank you!

[gflores182]

you are amazing

[toodewcannn]

00:38 to 00:40 made me so happy!

[toodewcannn]

You are the fucking best. i want to be your best friend.

[jcware88]

Good for you Allison. Proud of ya! Keep on rockin' in the free world!!!

[lethalfacey]

I thought u like cute boys at apple stores

[chicagozulu]

It was a pleasure meeting you at Wilberts. You are one special lady for doing this. Bullying is a horrible practice done by insecure people. It needs to stop!

[oheckitsbeck]

YOU GO, ALLISON WEISS!!

[CokeMachineGlo]

Oh man, I was hoping for a new song. Oh well, it's a good positive message anyway.  I'll never understand why people care how others live their lives. I look forward to the next song.

[paperweighted]

rock on, allison weiss. Short, sweet and to the point ; )

[brianatleftyfilms]

"If it's not okay, it's not the end" - lovely.

[RuckusAmsel]

wtf seriously? this is STILL a problem?!?! I surround myself with exclusively smart people and so sometimes I forget the ancient prejudices and ignorance the outside STILL world fosters.

I can say I DID NOT see that coming, especially since I thought I remembered talking about trying to impress some punk boy in your class.

K so...song next vid?

[ZhouFantastic]

I suspected it!  Great video. :)

[Loves2Sing86]

this is one of the best "it gets better" videos that i've seen :]

[misstiffanymarie]

I love you Allison Weiss! <3

Come back to Hickory, NC!

[Tyndan]

Man, I don't get to high five and talk about coolness because I'm straight... Sadness.

Also, it's always the cute talented ones, man... Good for you though... and girls I guess...

Man...
