It Gets Better - Jenn and Erika

[bichickldn]

Your wedding photos look beautiful.

[nonsensepoopypants]

oh you two are beautiful and so funny ! i have just laughed alot at your bloopers reel. your message was warm, honest and so full of love. it's lovely to see two people so clearly in love, and that is what this campaign is all about. spreading love and hope. WELL YOU DID THAT.

[Olivia2192]

Thanks!

[ElizabethBrooke135]

Thank you for this video, you've made me see a future for myself.

Just showing your wedding photos made me realize that I can have a wedding with two brides in gowns. I know it sounds stupid but in all the lesbian weddings I've seen/heard of, one bride is wearing a suit.

Now I know I can have my dream wedding and see my bride in a dress.

[solgabert]

Thanks :) This is really great! :)

[CobinRain]

this is my feel-good video for today.

[donkyheads2]

so i'm 15 and i dont want to live any more..

i have felt this way for over 3 years and nobody knows...

i am bullied by 10+ people per day this includes all kinds of abuse...

i didnt do anything to deserve this so why me??

over the last few years my thoughts of the world have changed dramatically cant someone.. anybody help me?? thank you. P.S i'm not gay or anything..

[bgaigirl]

@donkyheads2 I'll admit that I can be naive about internet "anonymity". Your comment says you're 15, but your profile says you're 25, so...whoever you are, however old you are, if you're telling the truth (and if you are, I apologize for assuming you might not be), I strongly encourage you to find a safe adult you can talk to about what's going on. It really doesn't last forever. Some people are hateful and moronic and abusive -- but they don't get the last word.

[phantomsuccour]

@bgaigirl many teenagers use earlier dates of birth because if you are under 18 there are some videos youtube doesn't let you watch. When I was a teenager my profile said I was 21. That's what I think.

[bgaigirl]

@phantomsuccour That makes sense. Thanks. I have received a lot of hateful, venomous comments here (which I have opted not to approve), so I feel a little leery when something seems a little off. I truly hope @donkyheads2 finds someone to talk to. Or, at the very least, that he keeps watching these It Gets Better videos.

[phantomsuccour]

@bgaigirl Yeha it saddens me that there are so many people with hate in there hearts. I'm black and gay and if you one day monitored youtube videos with black people, gay people, and jewish people, you will always find a lot of hateful comments. It's sad, but remember as Martin Luther King Jr said or quoted someone, "The arc of history bends towards justice." And let us continually work and be vigilant to make sure the next generation is more tolerant than ours, just like the liberals of 60's

[bgaigirl]

@donkyheads2 p.s. it doesn't matter if you're gay or not. abuse is abuse and you have a right not to be mistreated by anyone.

[reesecuphoe]

@donkyheads2

ignore them, ignore the bullies. they have no control over you or your life. if you show them you are hurting then they are winning and you are losing so they will continue to do the same thing cause they know its the only way that they will win. show them you dont care, even if you do and it killls you, smile and say fuck it. you can be happy without them, i promise. dont be a loser, be a winner and dont take your life because ignore fucks that are so low they have to hurt others

[EmoYaoiFangirl]

Ahh, vids like this make me want to jump for joy!

[EmoYaoiFangirl]

Ahh, it's videos like this that make me want to jump up in joy and dance! (the song only furthering it. lol) Btw, your wedding pictures are beautiful!

[Frodine86]

Great video!! And your wedding pictures are beautiful!!!

[Kemorowolfrain]

I think these videos are a great idea but we should expand this idea lots of youth people get bullied and they have no issue with gay or lesbian

[cookiescreambs]

[halbvampir07forever]

[kendrakebake]

The strength they gave you both. Those mean nasty people really need some credit for making you both so strong and confident.

[tompiswobblez]

[VioletRaynne]

College kids have learned to grow up :) Ladies ....boys...... if you really want to impress each other GROW UP be mature stop being a child stop bullying. You're making a fool of yourself. Accept don't reject.

[IrishGingerzRule]

[orpheuscorp]

This is a beautiful video.

[bibbeny]

Great! Music choice was great! And the blooper reel awesome. I'm glad it got better.

[DiminutiveFlower]

You looked so pretty at your wedding!!!

[mastmar221]

I'm really glad to be 11,890 on the views. It's a great message to tell people that being a family is great no matter what.

[RedVolly]

Beautiful video! :)

[relientkira]

thanks :]

[HaysDonald]

Good job! Wonderful video. 

[bananas1and2]

I'm so excited to hear your story. It's beautiful.

[PhoenixInLove]

You are so inspirational you two! = ]

[ravendaine]

What a beautiful story! Go badgers! Thanks.

[GaaraIsMyBadBoy]

You are a lovely couple and your wedding dresses are gorgeous! I wish I could have gone! I adore weddings =)

Love the bloopers too XD

[CMiller1334]

Hey Erika. I wanted to thank you (both, but Erika in particular for her story) because I'm in a similar story. My uncle moved in with us about four years ago, just after I realized I was bisexual, and he is very homophobic. My dad isn't, but sometimes he's a bit of an enabler. I'm perfectly comfortable with who I am and most of my friends know that I'm bisexual, but I can't tell my family while my uncle is still at home. It's an annoying situation, but I know it'll get better. It always does.

[jamila4102]

Go badgers! You're such an inspiration. Thank you.

[wasteland44]

I love this video. Good luck with your little girls!

[bluetruckredstate]

Great message and love the bloopers too. Thanks for posting.

[murepoison]

ur such an inspiration. thank you!!!

[StaunchComic]

To all the gay teens being bullied I was to and I transfered to a peforming arts HS. And their were many other gay kids their so maybe that is a way out for you? But it does get better and eventually you'll be out of school and never see these people again. Except maybe at a gay bar you'd be suprised how many bullys are closet cases and come out after HS!

[aromini]

süss..

[Jannabelle126]

Two lucky lobsters! Lots of love from a gay ally in Wisconsin! :)

[mrsp1016]

Thank you for sharing your story. Glad to see you found your lobster Jenn.  You are a great couple. Here's to white picket fences!

[ReleasedAsylum83]

love this video..I'm also from a small midwestern town (in wisconsin none the lesslol) It took me moving to a bigger city to finally come to terms with being gay..but truthfully, it really does get better :) It does....keep your heads held high/

[chrisito75]

Excellent video! Jenn - you were one of my Orientation Leaders at Carroll. I'm so happy that you made this. I'm definitely going to share it. Your story is an inspiration and I'm so happy that you found your lobster!

[skup1017]

I couldn't have put it better myself, thank you Jenn & Erika.

[ahappygay]

Love this video. I've seen many videos about "It gets better" and I made one but yours is definitly one of my favorites. I'm from Wisconsin as well. I feel you on the small conservative town.

[go4mark]

Very cool couple.

[siophienaomily]

This video is so good and beautiful! Truly inspiring and gives me a lot of hope for the future!!

[lemonyfresher]

you guys are awesome for making this video! it's so comforting to see that a happy ending is possible once you get past the "l word" age range. the joy and happiness that radiates off both of you is truly inspiring. after watching this video i can point to you and KNOW that it does get better.

all the very best, and thank you for speaking out :)

[transboyforpride]

I wish my mom was more like you gals.

Thank you for this. You are fantastic! You remind me that there is life after high school, and I cannot WAIT (I graduate in June).

Thank you again.

[fvelasqu]

you make a beautiful couple and this is a beautiful video. thanks for sharing your thoughts and advise :)

[topup73]

Jenn! It is Thom from Carroll! Great to see you are doing well! Thanks for sharing your story...and nice to meet you Erika!

[beelzebubblicious6]

Hey, can you explain to me what a "lobster" is? I googled 'gay marriage lobsters' and got some hilarious but unhelpful results!

thanks,

another straight ally!

[digipixel8]

Thanks girls.... beautifully done! I hope these vids helps some gay teens, or anyone that's being bullied for any reason. Everyone gets teased at some point. Let's all stand up against bullying. Talk to your friends about it. IT DOES GET BETTER !

[texan1510]

Oh my goodness you two are adorable! I love the blooper reel.

[theSoapBoxxx]

Chris Colfer. (Who plays Kurt Hummel in Glee) Twitted about this:)

I'm not gay myself, but I've got a lot of gay friends, and I'm glad that there're people like you standing up for them:)

[dothackterrorofdeath]

Jehn and Erika, thank you. Your words were very inspiring. It makes me so happy to see that you are both so happy. It gives us hope that there is indeed a brighter future and a better tomorrow.

This video really meant a lot to me. Thanks

[CelestaRhone]

I too was harassed in school for being bi-sexual. I am now happily married to a man, but my gf of ten years also lives in our household and it is wonderful. We have seven beautiful kids between us and we function as a single household. I couldn't be happier. I was do depressed that I dropped out of high school and got my GED, but now, I too want to reach out to kids that are going through this and say IT DOES GET BETTER!! You need to surround yourself with people who care about you as a person!

[boby879]

[Moni32002]

Gah! Curses! My wife and I were going to make a fake blooper reel because we thought of lots of funny stuff to do afterwards. Now you guys stole our thunder!

Still a cool vid. Thanks.

[joyous1100]

Wonderful video. It's great that you're willing to opening up your life to help others. Well done and what beautiful, joyful wedding pics!

[aag6z]
