[crazyhillbillies]

i aint lgbt but i like the open mindedness

[Roberodification]

that sentiment about not liking yourself and avoiding your friends because of it is something that I can WAY relate to,

[Estraven53]

I grew up in Princeton. Thank you all so much for making this.

Does anyone know the name of the song this video starts off with? thanks!

AH, I LOVE THIS!! I was so happy to see this video featured on Princeton's home website. These people are so great.

As a southern male Republican/libertarian, I really like this video. Not just because of its message, because "It's okay to be gay" isn't exactly original, but also because of its positive slant. Many videos and essays focus on vilifying the other side instead of lifting up their comrades, or focus on trivial things like "The Saints are so gay." This isn't about being PC or un-PC, even though a lot of people make it seem that way: it's about hope and hatred.

Pick your battles, people.

Elizabeth, you seem like such a cool person! I could definitely relate to a lot of stuff you said. Go Princeton and Go Blue (michigan)!

This video is great, really. Even if I didn't understand everything, because I'm german and only in the eleventh grade, but what I understood was great. Thank you for posting this video.

[bethiken]

Thank you! To everyone who participated in making the video and to all the supportive and beautiful commenters!

[siberiannoise]

Very inspiring. Straight or gay the message is clear. Be proud of yourself. Accept who you are. Never give up. Life is not small. Everyday brings a new chance for change, love, and happiness.

[sechavar]

It's true! Don't give up!!

[rajabhattar]

This is great! thanks for this beautiful video! You all are truly leaders! :)

[doctahdrew]

Wow... Princeton sure has gotten better! While I had a lot of great friends while I was there, being gay and happy with that was not to be for me 1983-87. So very awesome that it's gotten better and that you're all there for it!

[rdmunoz216]
