  • Im not gay and this is my favorite video

  • You are such a GENUINELY GOOD and NICE person, Buck. You are wonderful.

  • I wish I could give this video a million thumbs up.

  • Thanks for the video.

  • Yeah, they killed themselves, then some stupid Christian told me they chose to be gay to kill themselves and they're the ones responsible.. UGHHHH I wanna smack my brains out.

  • To the person below me. Ignorance is your new best friend and people ignorance, in time people will hate you too. Unless you drop ignorance for knowledge.

  • Queer

  • i have to be honest. i love that you didn't script this. you rambled and said waht was really in your head and heart, and thats what made it amazing.

    thank you buck

  • You are so adorable!!! Sending love your way....I love your video!

  • I went to boys Catholic school, too. One of the worst places on earth.

  • god bless you, buck. 

  • Buck, I am absolutely sure that I'm gay, and I have come out (slowly and carefully) in my Baptist school, but I don't know how to come out to my mother. She's religious, but would probably accept me, but I'm scared. What do I do?

  • @TheViperNerd everyoneisgay.tumblr.com is a great advice website that focuses on lgbtq youth. i suggest you go there, they answer tons of great questions =)

  • Found this almost by mistake, I'm 100% straight, but have somehow fallen into a pit of self-loathing and stuff, even coming close to self-harm (the blood was accidental, I promise!) but somehow, knowing that you care about all of us, even if you don't actually know us, is really amazing and really made me smile. Thanks.

  • I can't tell you just how much this video has helped me! I watch this all the time!

  • you know part of this was used in the toddrik hall song it gets better.

  • I live in Austin Texas, we don't have that much hate and stuff this way.

  • You are like my hero <3

  • You're awesome Buck. nuff said.

  • funny cause what the buck called nigahiga "gay". i'm dead serious i saw it on nigahiga...

  • I'm gonna remember this for a lifetime!

  • when i watched this video i honestly cried i am 16 and i am a lesbian my family and most of my friends think im bisexual because thats how i came out to them this video helped me thanks :)

  • i go to a very small highschool in a very remote area of canada. no one, and i mean NO ONE around here is openly gay. i feel like everyone in my area is so judgmental and so afraid of the judgements of others that no one will come out. Well last week a friend of mine posted on facebook that he is gay, and if anyone wasnt okay with it then they should delete him as a friend. That facebook status got about thirty likes and a bunch of comments respecting his bravery.

    IT DOES GET BETTER EVERYONE!

  • It may get better but my brothers arse gets wider

  • my brother said it gets better. it hurt the first few times

  • I love you! <3

  • Seth Walsh wasn't just bullied, he was beaten senseless. I know from experience how harsh the people in this town can be, and I’m straight. I can only imagine how he felt. There was no hope for him here.

  • My sisters gay and it just terrifies me to think that something like this couldve happened to her. Im so grateful to God for protecting her from the hatred of single-minded people

  • I have cried so much and so damn hard over this! Cause i have been through the same.

  • I love you so much Buck. BIG cyber hug from Seattle, Wa! =D You are just so amazing. ^_^

  • love you buck!

  • Buck, thank you so much for doing this. the playlist in general and the video. I'm not gay myself but I know many people who are, and a lot of my best friends family is gay so this means a lot that you would do this. It helps knowing that there are amazing amazing people like you who are there when you need help and the other 'it gets better videos' by celebrities and youtubers. knowing you do this makes everything better. please never stop doing what your doing. its amazing. love the show :) <3

  • excellent Buck. well done. 500 thumbs up dude.

  • Buck, you are a beautiful person. I wish that I had strong people to look up to when I was a kid. I'm not "gay" or "straight" because those terms are all about sex, and I've never been interested in sex... I use to get picked on because I would tell people I thought it was gross... I know know that it my life and can be happy just being me, and my mom would always tell me not to listen to hateful kids... but I didn't understand at the time, videos like these have helped me understand.

  • i love you so much thank you for this(:

  • Buck i am so happy that you made this video and you are such an inspiration to so many people. I know that i live in California and i am straight, but i really am so glad that you are trying to help people. You make me so happy with all of your videos and i love your spirit.

  • Buck. I love you. I love you so much. I'm not gay. I'm a straight white girl who is a freshman in college. but when i see all of these young kids killing themselves i just want to cry, and i have. a girl who i met the other day here at school went to the high school that jamey rodemeyer did. and that made it hit really close to home. it means so so so much to me that you are a role model to gay teens everywhere. you're so positive and i just want to say i love you. that is really all i can say.

  • i cried watching this. Im not gay but Im trans (ftm) and Ive went through child abuse because of that. Ive never had a home. But you know what, people like you teach me how to live. And I thank you :D

  • Helped me out of it (he is also gay).

    Watching your videos gives me hope that maybe in the future I can be myself and be happy (:

    Thankyou xxxxxxxxx

  • Hi buck, I'm a 15 year old lesbian and I go to an all girls school in the uk. I havnt come out to anyone in my school, because I only know two people who were in the year above who came out, and they got so laughed at for it, mainly from some of the girls in my class, and I don't want the same to happen to me. I live in a very upper class area where everyone is really up themselfs and bitchy, I want to be myself but can't. Earlier this year I was in a really bad place mentally, but my best frie

  • @radiomaddybear Don't let them get you down. If they want to be bitches let them, just don't pay attention, and if it gets really bad do NOT be afraid to tell someone about it. Have courage sweetheart, and everything will be just fine. <3

  • that was the sweetest smile ever!!!!!!!! 4:52

  • young people like me?? im 11!!!! WOO!! GO GRYFINDOR!

  • hey buck just wanted to tell you in my math class today some guy was making a gay joke to some kid in front of him. i think he said. "sorry im not gay" he got suspended. good

  • i'm purple...=D

  • 83 dislikes? Sad motherfuckers...

  • @rocktohell the dislikes didn't increase in 2 months :D you scared them dude :P

  • @mimikitten1 Wow...thx dude :)

    honestly, I have nothing but severe pity for gay-bashing haters...

  • Comment removed

  • thx bucky for mecke me better and im gay :D 12 year old

  • I think it's not the bullies fault for the death of these children. It's their ignorant parents who brainwash them with bigoted ideas and thoughts. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. We should prosecute the parents of these bullies as well.

  • You are one of the reasons im not dead Buck im serious, you have helped me so much and just make me laugh so much. I owe u a lot and i love you for it. Cyber-hugs :)

  • dear buck , i would love to be purple

  • I fricken LOVE gay people! I don't see how people can not!

  • Buck, In my school we have many gay people and we all act like its normal. By the way i live in Georgia. lol

  • Comment removed

  • I don't get it. I just don't get it. Gay people, in my opinion, are some of the most beautiful people around (And I'm straight)!

  • I've just made this account as my previous one has my name in it.

    Buck, I was crying when you help up the note "be happy"

    Thanks so much for posting this playlist, you just make me feel so much better about myself. honestly, i love you michael :)

  • I'm not gay but I cannot stand people who judge others because of their differences. Homophobic and racist people are the worst, but people who can show that their love and affection overpower the hate from the others make things just a little better before they can walk on their own. This was great, Buck. <3

  • My best friend since 1st grade came out to me last year and told others as he was ready. I love him like a brother & always will. But he moved away and every time I hear about teens who kill themselves I can't help but think, That could've been him. What if he's that depressed right now and I can't comfort him. But then I watch your videos, specifically the ones like this and I feel the love again.<3Thank you, Micheal Buckley for being you & for helping me remember it always gets better.

  • Michael,

    I am a straight 23 year old girl. I support gay rights because my mom raised me to find the good in people no matter what their race or sexual preference is. People out there need to learn that being gay isn't a choice it's a way someone was created. I start to cry whenever I hear that another teenager committed suicide because they were bullied for being gay. It breaks my heart. Thank you so much for the love and support you show everyone Buck!

  • i am not gay but i feel so bad now

  • I'm a straight, white, working-class, teenage girl and I'm just sat in tears over these vids. How can anyone hate another human being because of the way they were born. Whoever you are, you deserve to live on. For every hater there will be hundreds of people who love you and never forget that! <3

  • I love you, Buck. :')

  • Why cant we just accept one another, and if not that, atleast respect them?

  • MICHEAL

  • Man first I didnt like your vids. But what the hell I found out you are a good person :D And later found out u had humor too :) U rock man you rock

  • Its not fare to steal the word "gay" from everyone. it means happy not homosexual. use queer, it means unusual. more fitting. not bashing just pointing out something people rarely think about, this video probably saved a kids life.

  • Its not fare to steal the word "gay" from everyone. it means happy not homosexual. use queer, it means unusual. more fitting.

  • omg...ur 35??? wow...ur really cute!!!! (imma girl and bi)

  • i'm openly bisexual at my school and i have been since 8th grade. i don't know whether it's better to be ostracized at my school or for others to call me fag or slut or any of those things. it's hard sometimes and recently it got harder. i'm a senior now and...a couple people i thot were my friends verbally attacked and publicly embarrassed me during lunch. i haven't talked to them since. it's been a week. they were my only friends. i'm alone now...these vids help me a lot. thank you so much.

  • so sweet and well done! bravo and thank you!

  • Lol why in the world did this make me cry lol

  • i love you :D your so cool :) im not gay but your inspiring :D

  • this made me cry buck, thanks so much :'(

  • @asexyturtle78 Thank you!

  • @LEGENDLEN FUCK YOU GET A LIFE

  • @LEGENDLEN HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SAY THAT YOU ASS HOLE!!!!! FUCKING KIDS ARE KILLING THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF NO-LIFE DOUCHE BAGS LIKE YOU POSTING THESE EVIL COMMENTS AND SHIT. A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD JUMPED OFF THE FUCKING GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE BECAUSE HE COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE, SO FUCK YOU, GET A LIFE AND STOP POSTING THESE FUCKING RETARDED COMMENTS SAYING IT'S WRONG TO BE GAY AND SHIT, AND IT'S NOT. AS I WAS SAYING...FUCK YOU, GET A LIFE

  • your video helped me so much more than words can descrbie, thank you

  • Amazing video. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • I don't understand why anyone would ever give this a thumbs down!

  • @LEGENDLEN YouTube allows this becuz they dont judge, they are regular people who accept everyone, unlike you asshole. Your the one who deserves to dragged through the streets behind wild horses then placed in the stocks where the general public can kick them and spit on them. But that prolly wouldnt even be enough. Gay people are the ones who are going through enough in their lives, so to have some dumbass mother fucker like you coming on to our videos and saying shit. GET A LIFE AND FUCK OFF!!

  • @ddvaldez you fuck off cock sucker be ashamed and hide in the shadows where you belong.if you should start sneezin be worried its not a cold

  • @LEGENDLEN Im not gonna hide, and I am not ashamed, I am proud of who I am, and you know what? Most people dont care. Its just ignorant people like you who think they are better than others. So how about you go crawl under a rock and die? That would be doing us all a favor.

  • @ddvaldez fuck off you mutant you wont be so proud when final stage aids kicks in bet ya dad aint proud of you either every time he looks at you he feels sick

  • @LEGENDLEN Actually, I dont have AIDS, or any type of sexual disease, cuz Im careful, unlike most straight ppl, prolly like urself. And my dad is proud of me, He goes with me to PFLAG stuff all the time, so ONCE AGAIN, you are wrong, and just look like an idiot.

  • @ddvaldez your in denial you will end up full of aids and your dads just trying he would much prefer you to like women or maybe he loves the cock as well but you definitely do so go suck one you faggot

  • @LEGENDLEN I am not in denial, I am smart enough to know the difference unlike u. And BOTH my parents love me, my mom and dad, so calling my dad gay is stupid. So fuck you, go away

  • @LEGENDLEN you need to shut the fuck up you homophobic bastard! educate yourself before you go critisizing people. stop making gay peoples' lives feel like absolute shit. i hope you have a terrible life.

  • @LEGENDLENI hope all your children turn out to be gay and then they can kick and spit on you! Oh yeah, I hope one of them is a bisexual transgender drag queen just for good friken measure. Their is something wrong with you if you would say something that disgusting

  • @SearchinforHollywood fuck off you four eyed gay find a busy road and re enact a scene from glee on it you fuckin gaylord

  • @LEGENDLEN Look back off. I now regret posting that comment. I acted in a moment of anger. I don't like to fight on YouTube or in real life. Lets all settle down. I don't think anybody should post anything negative about anybody or anything.

  • @LEGENDLEN What a knob.

  • Aw :') You just made me smile! Love you Buck! :))

  • I am 15 and I'm gay and you have helped me be whom I am you are an inspiring person. I love you so much your such a wonderful and down to earth person and thank you for being a guiding voice. Thank you for helping me to see who I am <3

  • @jmax627

    Ciao Bello!

    Jake "Ragazzo Bello e Dolce" (Sweet Handsome Boy) Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here just wants you to know that there will be throngs of people, crowds in fact both gay and straight who will surround and support you, just like "Michael" here on your journey of "Self Discovery" as a young gay man! In fact I just bet it's going to get so crowded by those who care about your wellbeing and happiness that I'd better hurry up and get in line!

  • @iwilltrolleveryone what's wrong with you? it's people like you who make kids wanna commit suicide. go get a life instead of ruining other people's.

  • @JBJBrox You are telling that to a person whose screen name is 'iwilltrolleveryone'?^^

  • this made me cry...

  • Why don't you speak calmly like this in your other videos ? :] It's sooo much more enjoyable and watchable !

  • How could anyone thumbs down this video?!? Heartless people! Well done Michael, I've always had respect for you, loved your videos for ages but this is by far one of the most inspirational videos I've ever watched :)

  • Im not gay, but mr. Buckley you are one inspirational man. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this and to be exactly who they were born to be. And all these bullies writing mean comments, what exactly are you gaining from hurting others?

  • @LEGENDLEN the fuck?

  • @LEGENDLEN WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU I HOPE SOME ONE ARREST YOU and drag YOU through the streets behind wild horses then placed in the stocks where the general public can kick YOU and spit on YOU.....YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT >=[

  • @LEGENDLEN oucccccccccccccccch!

  • As a child, I didn't know it was possible to like the same sex, so I just thought it was "admiration." I was a junior when I knew that I was bisexual. As a senior, I had a girlfriend kind of, and we were called dykes by some. I loved who I was. I knew I was born that way, and there was nothing wrong with me. I find friends who love me for exactly who I am. It really does get better. Love yourself, and surround yourself with those who love you for exactly who you are.

  • Hi Buck, I happen to be straight but three of my best friends are lesbians. I've known all of them for years before they came out and they are still like sisters to me. Gosh I couldn't imagine life without them so I sent this video to them and I just really appreciate all that you stand for Buck. Thank you so much. Love from Arizona.

  • Got the message . fuck everybody i was born this way babe

    people who love you trully will not give a damn , soround you with people who deserve to be around you ! You are not alone we have each other

  • I like your message Buck, however there is one thing I would like to correct you on. And that is that hatred and homophobia is everywhere, EVEN in Connecticut. It doesn't matter if you live in a big city or a small town, there are going to be people that are going to hate even if they dont know you. However, there are also going to be people who will accept and love you in big cities and small towns alike. I feel its more about finding the right people, more so than finding the right location

  • no one should dislike this video):<

  • if you cyber bully my Buck, i will FIND you. lol j/k just think about how you make other peolpe feel if you bully someone, not how it makes you feel

  • It really does get better. My dad hated me and I felt really guilty when I was 16 and came out. The bullies that bullies me... I found them on facebook 20 years later and they look like crap! old and ugly! LOL! With time, my dad came around and asked me for forgiveness for his ignorance. If anyone reads this: I hope your hopes for your future change... It really DOES get better!!

  • Love you, much love for all people HUGS

  • 5,354 likes vs. 80 dislikes....hmmm...something tells me that there really is no contest! The world is changing, its time for those 80 haters to realize it, and either join us or just move aside and let us be.

  • When I was young I was bullied all the time,the others did awful things to me,and not just verbally, like setting my hair on fire during quire practise, and they didn't know I was gay.When I was 11-12 I also wanted to die.My only lifeline was my mom,I couldn't cause her pain I love her so much.

    So everyone, there must be someone, a lifeline, that you can hang on to.That one person who loves you no matter what.And after scool, it's a fresh start.

    I'm 24 now so believe me it really gets better.

  • thankyou.

  • Buck I have been a fan of yours for about 2 years. Last year I was bullied (not for them gay cause im not but beacsue of my hair color and the fact that Im allergic to food) they were so mean and this video made me cry. I wanted you to know that this video that it ment a lot for me. thank you

  • @Bwsq70 it might seem hard now, but things will get a lot easier in the future. It might be when a few weeks or a few months or when you get to college like for Michael. But the important thing is to just stay happy. I go to secondary school in York, which is probably one of the most homophobic areas in England. Changing the colour of your hair is essentially asking to be nailed to a cross. But you just have to get the right friends and ignore all the haters. And the "Be Happy" poster works :)

  • can't help but to cry..................

  • When does it get better? I've tried and tried and it doesn't happen. all the post-its in the world won't help

  • @Bwsq70 i bet it gets better when we get the fuck out of high school. so long, haters! *grows to be fifty feet taller than the haters, knocks them away with a backhand swipe*

  • @MzCheshireKat that's exactly right :) so just hold on until school is over... and go to college if you can...

  • You are so sweet. People like you make me feel less lonely. I recently came out as pansexual, and the response from my family and friends was much more positive than I thought it would be. I was so nervous about coming out, but it wasn't so bad in the end. My friends are supportive of me, and they even admire me for having the guts to come out and not care what anyone thinks

    Strength is key, but if anyone thinks they aren't strong enough, you've got people like Buck here to comfort you =]

  • from the title i thought it would be a funny video but i ended up seing something serious...what you're saying here is very nice... i am not homosexual but i hate people who cannot realize that it's just an option... and i also liked the"live YOUR life" part (i mean the way you said it), cause it's true... we live only once, so why not live happily??? you should be a father, -if you like kids- cause you have what it takes^^ great video

  • 

  • It Gets Better. 

  • thank you with the heart, from Italy.

  • I love your outlook on life! I'm your average little 13 year old gay girl! I have know that I'm gay for about 7 years. I have been out for almost 5 months. I have gone to hell and back for being gay. I wont tell my dad cuz he's a phobe but it doesn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. So yeah these people don't like me cuz I'm gay but these people that hate on me don't really realize that it rolls right off my back. I have been bullied for almost 8 years and the BS thrown at me hasnt even scrat

  • @RainbowUnicorn129 I'm proud of you stay strong :)

  • I love you so much! I think this can apply to anyone being bullied... not just homosexuals.

  • You're the sweetest thing ever(: I love you. I hope you have a wonderful life, and remember, BE HAPPY!(: <3

  • u are such an amazing person. I know this probably inspired a lot of kids out there in our judge mental society to not care about wat other ppl think and to love themselves for who they are -3 :)

  • but this is all easier said than done...gay or straight...if one is being bullied and beaten up for whatever reason...or not accepted and ridiculed its very hard to think this way that u are suggesting

  • This put the biggest smile on my face(: Thank you! I sorta feel less alone now

  • im purple :D your a great person

  • your such a good person !!! :D <33

  • i'm not gay but i totally support ppl who are :)

  • ur so right buck. it isn't a big deal <3

  • wait a minute....YOUR GAY?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

  • I love you Buck. thank you

  • I am a 13-year old pansexual male with a strong male preference who lives in a region of Ohio where this is taboo. Well, I say, haters gonna hate because they are jealous of the pride you have in yourself, and no one can take that away from you but yourself. You control your happiness, so be happy and say "screw you, I do what I want" to the bullies and haters in your life. You make your choices, so choose to live your life the way YOU want to.

  • thank you for this. I really needed to see this.

  • Comment removed

  • every time i get depressed about my situation that im in, i watch this. thank you.

  • GAY PRIDE WORLD WIDE! LETS TURN THY SKY PINK WITH OUT SUPER GAY POWERSSSS!!!!

  • BUCK! You are amazing and inspirational, Im straight, but I support gays no matte what and I live in a town where its frowned upon but I get in arguments standing up for gays. I love you <3 and I hope people realiz that gays are still people with feelings and thoughs

  • Hi Buck,

    I love watching your show.

    I figured you might have a video up for the It Gets Better Project.

    Thank you for all that you do. :)

    It's true: it's better to be happy.

  • If I telly my dad that I was was gay, he will hate me!

  • @Syvmana Maybe he wont

  • Comment removed

  • not to say it isn't often hard for a girl being gay, but has anyone noticed that people seem to make a much bigger deal of gay men? i'm a bisexual myself and i've known girls who are less than straight and noone gave a shi*, but then i know gay guys who get ALL the shi*, and i've always wondered why. Anyone care to take a dab at it?

  • @EmoYaoiFangirl it's because many straight men don't have a problem with lesbians because they are turned on by it, but the idea of gay men together makes them uncomfortable- so they turn into bigots about it.

  • @sydandtaytum SO TRUE! I'm a lesbian, and ALL guys around me think I only dig girls to turn them on. Like wtf? -__-" Ignorance is gonna kill us all one day...

  • I'm a bisexual girl, and I'm 15. I've known I was bi since I was 4, like you. I have a girlfriend but no one knows... I have never doubted myself that I was bisexual. My mom has always said she doesn't care if my brother or I am gay,lesbian, whatever but I don't feel close to her so I don't want to tell her.

  • Again and again I read stories on the internet about kids my age that are teased and bullied for being gay and I break down crying because I'm thinking that I've thought about that, it got bad for me too, but if I'd just been able to reach out to them, tell them about my experiences and how it did get better for me, that maybe they wouldn't have took their own lives. It makes me so sad to hear about this kind of thing.

  • Fuck the cyberbullies Bucky! You're too awesome to be affected by those stupid people! The people of Kelowna love you!! (That's in Canada btw)

  • Dear Buck. This year I found out who I was, and what i was. That person is a 15 year old, at the time 14 and before my birthday, gay girl. I have written on this before..

    Well, a lot of stuff has happened since then. I didn't come out. I was pulled out.

    I told my trusted family members. My mom read the letter that my secret girlfriend wrote for me on our first month aniversery. almost 3 months now.

    Those family members I trusted told my mother.

    So I guess I am out.

    TY Buck.. <3

  • youre the best... i love you!!!!!!!!! ... i love watching your videos!!!!.... i was at this super busy ice cream parlor on telegraph ave, by UC BERKELEY... and the line is always long, and these students were watching your show with me on my phone.. haha.. love you!

    one of your gays from CA!

  • I wish I had the words to describe how much I love this project. I'm not gay, but my uncle is and I have friends who are gay, but other than that, I know what it's like to be bullied for being different<3 This video just gives a positive message to all and I'm really glad they're doing this project :]

  • How long is that v-neck shirt you're wearing lol!?!?!
