  • 20 people dislike this and 20 people need to learn about acceptance and love.love knows no boundries.how would you like it if i opened up my own business and put up a sign that said no straight people allowed.

  • God i love her. Shes so amazing and i wasnt even born when she was huge. People like her are the reason the world it improving.

  • Why the thumbs down? If people choose to be gay then let them be gay. If one of my family members decided to be gay I would support them.

  • @jay78251 i am glad you are supportive of the gay community hun but can i ask you if you could rephrase this without being any hurt feelings.being gay is not a choice we make.it is how we are born thanks

  • Insperation Right There <3 

  • That was very inspiring Jewel and I think the world needs more people like you because we are all still children in our hearts. The need to feed our souls though music and art is essential for our progress as well as our sanity :)

    The Musicians and Artists are the super heros of the youth and societies world wide, no matter your nationality you have the right to be inspired and to inspire.

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JEWEL!

    KEEP INSPIRING!

  • She should stick to sucking off Dale Earnhardt Jr

  • love you Jewel

  • You do not have to be gay to understand the rights they have and how the justice of the peace can make their American dream come true.

  • Now that's what I call a class act way of getting to the point on that topic!!! Luv ya Jewel. KOLADGE

  • I love listening to her, very cool girl :)

  • Jewel, you are amazing and beautiful in every way. Thanks for posting this.

  • Jewel is just awesome. And...it does get better.

  • Love u jewel

  • Wow this was good :)

  • "Your greatest burdens are your greatest assets." Wonderful and beautiful wisdom. =)

  • I love Jewel. So Talented and such a beautiful heart <3

  • Jewel the best person alive

  • TheAmazingAtheist

    IT DOESN'T.

  • @tina2dicks Ha unnecessary but still funny.

  • Ewww

  • @oddtreenow2, your description of gay people makes them sound exactly like Christians. And republicans!

  • Great true artist jewel

  • Jewel is so sweet and natural. She s a real true artist with a great voice. We had the chance to see her twice for live acoustic concerts and it was amazing. The second time we even had the chance to have a big hug with her and talk to her. We could tell her what true artist she was contrarely to the mainstream commercial music of autotune and playback

  • This video is so poignant of the fact that there needs to be tolerance. Hatred is based upon fear. Fear that you or someone like you will end up being gay. Being gay is not something you can catch like a common cold. Let's all band together to stop the homophobia. AMEN!

    

  • @SimonCowellAI, you DO know that you're mentally defective, right?

    Just checking.

  • be loud & be proud <3

  • Your just a hater soo go suck it k! Who cares if she lez!? Wtf did she do too you you fuckn prick!?!

  • thank all of you who support people like us. I cant tell very many people about myself. However, to look this up makes me feel better! And I have been crying and watching these videos all day today (with a great cup of coffee of course=) and can't get enough of them. I would never commit sucicide..but sometimes feel like just laying down and giving up. This problem has affected my life and relationships all my life. And I am trying to do something about it now. I hope thearpy helps. Thank you!

  • It's so good to see these videos of support. I have wanted to be a girl all my life, and can not get it out of my thoughts. Have to hide it from everyone. I started hiding away from the world playing online games..but that wont do it anymore eather. Can not tell my friends and family about it because they would not accept me for this. Started seeing a therapist and seeking support where ever i can find it. Just started looking on utube for transsexual support last night. and today. Great videos!

  • oh god i missed her ^_^

  • Thank you very much Jewel. One world for everebody. In defence of diversity

  • Hi Jewel. Thank you for the song 'Pieces of You' it opened my eyes to the fear people have of gays, and jewish or people from another race. You are one of my favorite artists good job.

  • @CenturianRule the ashamed kind i guess dont blame i'd throw a dirty lez or gay out in the street too they deserve it and a good way to send em on their way would be with some strong punches and kicks so they could be homeless gay and in pain smack a dirty gay today right in the f^^ckin face!

  • To all the church/religious people who say being gay is a sin and you will go to hell- in the old testament, it condems sin in general- including homosexuality. After jesus chrsit was sent, our sins were 'washed away'. Even though i am not religious, does this not include gays- if not, where does it say in the NEW TESTAMENT that you cannkt fall in love with someone?

  • @chloejohnstonxo being gay, doenst mean someone will nessessarily go to hell. wat determines whether someone goes to hell is whether they believe that we are sinners and that jesus death on the cross is the only way to pay the penalty for sin. i dont belive that homosexuality is right in gods eyes. but i think that people who have that preference should be oved and treated the same as anyone else. We cant control what other ppl do wether right or wrong we can only love for them and pray for them

  • awesomeawesome

  • after i came out, my family had mixed feelings. i cudnt talk about women or wear my male clothing any more--all been thrown out, but as much rage as i feel, im glad they didn't make me leave my home.

  • I thank you Jewel!! I am such a HUGE fan of yours and this just makes me happier that you stand up for gays....you are truly great role model!! and to anyone reading this....Jewel is right!! Life will get better for you once you get older.....you meet interesting people and your life will improve once you meet others in this great community!! I promise.....I over came being gay in a small town......now I have the most wondermous friends in the world ....the best thing is they love me for me

  • it would be amazing to have her as a friend:) and its just so sad when ur own parents reject u because of who u are they should end up in jail for a very long time that poor kid

  • She seems wonderful :)

  • I LOVE YOU JEWEL.

  • It does get better. But you have to do something to get to better: NEVER GIVE UP!

    There will always be those who will taunt and tease and bully others regardless of why they do it. Just remember that there are also those who will love you without condition. Like me. Peace!

  • People aren't born gay

  • @3the4truth Actually they are. Doctors can look into someones genes and find out if they're gay or not. So they are born gay. Its not something can be changed, its just how we are and there is nothing wrong with being gay.

  • @3the4truth...since u think ppl decide their own sexuality,i have a question: when did you turn striaght?

  • @thefuzzyducky1 how can someone be born preferring something before they have any knowledge of it. A gay lifestyle is a preference as is as a straight lifestyle. To answer your question, I knew I was straight when I realized I was attracted to women. I don't judge or look down on people that are gay, in all honestly I could care less, but it is impossible to be born gay, something somewhere in your lifetime turned you that way, claiming homosexuality is genetic is somewhat a copout.

  • @3the4truth And gay people know they're gay when they're attracted to the same sex. So you're saying something in their life turned them gay just like something in your life must have turned you straight? I understand what you're saying. That's actually the main argument if they're born that way or if something turned them that way. It's really interesting. Me personally, I think they're born that way.

  • I love her. The best people that I've ever known were gay bi or transexuals. All the catholics are the haters here the christians tend to be more about forgiveness. I think there is a special place reserved in hell for catholic homophobes. One of my best friends ever was a gay man. He liked me for who I was. We listened to Judas Priest for hours and had so much fun.

  • Jewel, Your a true example of being beautiful inside and out. Thank you for supporting people that are different!!! <3

  • Unfortunately it DOESN'T GET BETTER. People don't understand that going against Gods plan for their life just GETS WORSE. Kids need to learn early on that 1-There is a Holy God, 2-This God Loves them unconditionally, 3-He gave His only Son as a sacrifice for our sins, 4-Accept Him and live for Him above all else. "There is a way which seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death" Proverbs 16;25 Jesus said, "I Am the Way the Truth and the Life" John 14;6. So, your way or His? Choose.

  • @MrSaxman2009 Maybe you don’t think it gets better because it didn't for you. You do know that this is a free country, and not everyone believes in god. I went to church as a child but now i don't believe in god. Sure you can make kids go to church and raise them as Catholics, but it’s up to them in the end. And at this point most people think its wrong, and it’s leading to death. Remember: ACCEPTANCE

  • @MrSaxman2009 BUT MY SKY GOD SEZ DIFFERENT!

  • @MrSaxman2009 So if everyones life is 'God's plan' Then if 'He' is in control wouldn't me going against god's plan be his plan all along? I CONTROL MY LIFE NOT GOD.

  • i had a crush on my gay best friend too !

  • @CenturianRule they are called fundamentalist/religious people

  • I Love Lesbians.

  • wow I realllly enjoyed this video. She is so sincere and genuine here I love it

  • @BoToGo1 bible-guarded skull and reach your brain and you will realize you were wrong

  • @BoToGo1 you keep believing that, while you can society is ever evolving and slowly but surely losing it's uneasiness of gays and replacing it with intolerance for people like you hating unjustly while hiding behind there religious texts, I do not believe in your so-called "God" but I know karma phenomenon is something real and that you will one day you will wake up and feel society sting you for the pain you've caused others and hopefully the light of reason will penetrate your dense bible-gua

  • Thank you for sharing your story and making a difference Jewel. <3

  • This keeps me going. Thank you Jewels <3

  • It's not just people who are gay, lesbian, transgender, Or bisexual that go through stuff like this. I'm not any of those, And I've had those feelings, and I quite often do. I think this project is a great idea, but they need to address all teens, Not just the LGBT community.

  • Instead of fighting, why don't we help one another? How can we help those people who needs are attention when we ourselves are projecting negativity all over the place? Seriously, people.

  • <3

  • we commit suicide because we ARE alone in our town. No one seems to understand or to sympathize. I cant take any more of this. In reality..... I am just a mistake.I hate waking up... I hate going home... I hate falling asleep at night to nightmares. I hate being made fun of. They all tell me god hates me. i think about suicide every day. there isnt a moment of my life i dont spend wanting to hurt myself.

  • @wild2dreamer omg if you ever need anyone to talk to I can! Please don;t kill yourself! It's not worth it!

  • @6MakeMyDinnerCunt6 lol God? You're a troll with no life. PATHETIC is all you are little boy. Go buy some diapers a pascifier and grow up.

  • @6MakeMyDinnerCunt6 you're a jerk you know that

  • @ghfan18 the comment you made on this page is disrespectful, and making fun of gays like the way you did is just messed up and FYI not all gays are the same so you can go shove it, and you are definitely not god you are just a self-centered piece of shit who needs to seriously get a life, and i'm sorry i insulted you the way i did but it is what is

  • We all need friends like Jewel. Someone who knows how to stick to someone regardless of differences in the person.

  • They better should be helped by doctors and become straight...And every fagoot or lesbian who is reading this should think very well at what stupid sexual life they are driving,the dick is made to fuck a vagina,not the ass full of shit,WTF?

  • @maximatonik so what bothers you more then, the women who don't want you or the men that do? Sounds like someone is so deep in the closet he's in Narnia

  • @maximatonik As humans, we often choose to do things that we weren't "meant" to do, for example, cooking our food, using toilet paper, or watching videos on Youtube.

  • Ciao Amici!

    It does disturb me that this still occures in the 21st century! I've been desperately trying to communicate to young folks, just how much better it's gotten, since a boy I once loved(Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) long ago, and I stood together, "out"

    and quite alone!

  • You Rock! You speak from your heart. Thank You!

  • I love Jewel! God bless her soul.

    (itgetsbetter)

  • It's ok to be gay(NO,it's very very wrong!)Man and Women mach together,no lesbians or gays,they shoud be executed now because they will extend like a flu....

  • @maximatonik HOW? Are YOU afraid you will catch gay? You are very IGNORANT. If you don't understand something, then the thing to do is to go out and EDUCATE yourself about it.

  • @maximatonik

    I personally would'nt mind if ignorant , vile, hate spewing pigs like you were executed, but that's

    just wishful thinking(fantasy). Fortunately, for you and me both we live in a "Republic" which is governed

    by the rule of law. And the sublime document wich sets precedents for those laws, the U.S. Constitution, protects my civil liberties, and those of a pig like you as well!

    Blaine

  • @maximatonik

    Ciao!

    Oh do pardon me, I just gleaned that you hail from the country once governed by the monsters

    Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu! So representative government is still in it's infancy in your homeland!

  • thank you, Jewel

  • I saw the conviction in her eyes when she said it gets better!

  • Why are there always so many hateful people on these videos? Do they think their primitive, backwards views on other people will have a place in a more civilised society? Bizarre.

  • "Identical twins have identical genes. If homosexuality was a biological condition produced inescapably by the genes (e.g. eye color), then if one identical twin was homosexual, in 100% of the cases his brother would be too...But as we saw above, if one is homosexual, the other is usually not."

  • Just beautiful. Thanks for making this video!

  • Jewel, you're so beautiful, inside and out... thank you for taking the trouble of making this video, the best for all of us :)

  • Beautiful :)

    I just want you to know it's people like you who keep me going and give me hope for the future. Without people like you, this world would not be complete.

    Thankyou.

  • That was beautiful.

  • She's so lovely. Self confidence does that.

  • You are the cutest thing ever and sounds like a genuine person,in the top of it one of the best It gets better videos i saw ! Unfortunately u music i dont know why doesnt cross over here very much (UK) so i even thought u stop singing, funny because in my birth country Brazil u are very popular! It would be funny if wasn´t sad why people personal life are so important for some americans,i never stop one sec wondering what my neighbour are doing in their bed,why what i do in my is so interesting?

  • You're gorgeous and seem to be so nice. Thank you so much for the kind words. Means a lot to a lot of us.

  • Hearing this from someone, anyone is so touching even though I'm ok with being a lesbian. But there was a point where I wasn't and I hated myself, but this is something that these kids out there really need to hear. Thank you.

    It get's so much better guys, oh man how it get's better. You're not gay by choice it's who you are and it's a beautiful thing. Love is beautiful no matter if you're gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered. It's all beautiful.

  • thank you for doing this. alot kids need to hear it.

  • anyone who dislikes the video like jewels and the rest of the "it will get better videos" are just inconsiterate people. Obviously, those people have not had a drive, a passion, the will to want something, and had your whole crash due to someone who is just rude. Obviously, those people were not born a specific way amd weren't made fun of it. There's no such thing as "homo-phobe"! none! love yourself. be who you are. do what you want. it will get better. really. love yourself. love life.

  • Jewel is beautiful inside and out.

  • 9 PEOPLE HAVE NO HEARTS

  • Jewel: as a gay man, you tempted me away just now. I dislike being so forward, but you are a beautiful person, and that really appeals to me. I'm rather surprised your gay friend didn't try to work things out with you: if it were me, I just might have tried.

    By the way, to me: what made you the most beautiful isn't your looks (which IS beautiful) - it was when you said that you chose your gay friend over the one giving you the ultimatum.

    I truly admire you now!

  • I think I have a crush on her now o.o

  • Love Jewel!

  • I just viewed your video and wanted to commend you for sharing your thoughts. It's so, so very important that all of us do. I would like to invite you to view my own contribution to the "it gets better" cause. Just search my full name, George Patrick Gillen, and you'll find A Brighter Day - an original music composition of mine. If it's meaningful to you and/or you know someone who is dealing with this issue, please, recommend they listen.

  • Rome fell because of this, and so did Sodom and gommarh. Yes it was Jesus whom distroyed that place. He is the Word of God, the Father spoke the Word and it was destroyed, but never without warning. I am only telling you there is a big 18 wheeler heading your way, "GET OUT OF THE ROAD!!" or you will get hit. You don't listen to me, that's your choice, but your own blood is on your head. Have it your way. The one's whom love you the most tell you the truth, even if it hurts.

  • @Shoots1978 Rome fell for all sorts of reasons--mostly it could no longer hold up under its own substantial weight. Blaming it on homosexuality is missing the point. Also, you spelled "Gomorrah" incorrectly, and you're only supposed to use "whom" when referring to the object of a sentence. Using it indiscriminately to try to make yourself sound intelligent only reveals that you don't know how to use it.

  • @aeternamente13 Well OK sorry about that, thank you for the correction. But to say it was one of the reasons, sure there was more. But it was like us today. Just as wicked and loveless as we are in this country. And will only get worse. So peace be to you.

  • @Shoots1978 I could just as easily say that Christianity caused the fall of Rome. People were turning from their true gods, and great Jupiter zapped them for their lack of faith. However I won't, as much as I'd like to, because I'm sane and know my history. Empires rise and fall for simple mundane reasons. Put down the Bible, and open a text book. Blessed Be )O(

  • @sammyhain13 Yeah, your right countried rise and fall. The Lord God raises them up and He tears them down, the only thing that keeps us from falling now is Him, (His Word, that is His Son) which is the Word. There's nothing new under the sun, history only repeats itself. The we act today in America is the same way Israel acted then, just like the pagans. Worshipping false gods, such as creation, rather than creation, (see Romans 1:18-32). So bless the Lord.

  • @Shoots1978 The oldest civilization in the world is India, who has never had any use for your god. To work off your logic they must have the true religion, and all these other ones have fallen because they angered Vishnu and Kali. If your god opposes the effort to reach out to bullied homosexual youths and teach them to celebrate their sexuality, then I can dismiss your god out of hand.

  • We love you Jewel!

  • It's funny... "Pieces of You" is what helped me through those early teenage years.

  • The tragic deaths of late need to speak deeply to all of us adults and the responsibility that is ours to do our part in creating a society and church where our children and youth (whatever their sexual orientation, gender, race, physical appearance, IQ score, etc) feel secure and can trust in a future that is both promising and meaningful. For those youth questioning the possibility of a brighter time, I HOPE and PRAY that they take to heart the words: "It gets better".

  • thanks for this beautiful message jewel! :)

  • Sorry guys it posted my insanely huge comment as 3 comments. The madder I get at people, the longer I write I guess lol. It should read from the 3rd one to the 1st one if anybody cares. Pardon my rant lol. :)

  • ...were supposed to be the light of the world. Jesus said to the people who demanded to kill the prostitute "let he who is without sin throw the first stone". He would not let them judge her, he was the only one allowed to pass judgement on her, and he just told her "go and sin no more", didn't throw levitical law in her face.

  • ...you are NOT a judge of them, according to the bible we are only supposed to correct other Christians, and even then it says be SLOW to judge. Were supposed to spread Christ's love, not hate. It's people like you that have caused such a problem to begin with, because if I wasn't a Christian I sure would not respond to your comments with "Oh, you must be right! Help me learn how to get saved now! I'll be in church next week!" you're the reason the church has a bad name, were supposed to be the

  • I am a Christian, and have gay/lesbian friends. To other Christians who decide to spurt scripture at people who you believe are wrong, please stop. What is your goal? Because honestly, this is what it sounds like.

    "God hates you. You should repent. You are a sick person, immoral and disgusting. Just thought you should know."

    You don't have any right to use the Bible against them. If they don't believe what the bible says, that's their choice. Besides, you are NOT a judge of them, according to

  • I've watched a few of these videos and Theyre great. I am so thankful for them, but after seeing many homophobic comments, I'm wondering why so many homophobes would search for these videos and then post hateful comments. I realize that these people are the bullies mentioned in the videos and to overcome them we need to ignore them and not let their hate touch us.

  • Thank you so much for your support Jewel. I've bought all your albums and I think you are beautiful. Love you lots.

  • wonderful, thank you.

  • Thank you, Jewel, for your kind words. This meant a lot to me.

  • @lltrf

    @lltrf While it should just "be" better, it isn't possible. You can't flip a switch and change the way people think overnight. You can't just change the way people act, you need to change the beliefs and thought processes behind those actions or it is meaningless. That kind of change takes time. That doesn't mean we don't need to do something about it, but it does mean we can't expect instant results.

  • I love Jewel 10 times more after watching this video. There's such compassion in her heart.

  • I Love Jewel!!! thanks for the support!

  • @TheKomaaa i feel obligated to mention that the fact that you're laughing at this situation does nnnnnnnnnnnoottttt help things out!
