  • Okay President Obama, now that you have done this please help the process along by endorsing marriage equality throughout America.

  • welp, I know how I'm voting for

    Forever.

  • I love It Gets Better. It proves there are sickos and disgusting bigots in every community, especially in the LGBT community! No wonder Obama supports this group.

  • FUCK YA GO OBAMA

    OBAMA 2012

  • I have so much more respect for this man now.

  • well said wise words imho

  • If he says this then we need to LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE!!!!

  • Support isn't "civil unions", it's tolerance. I have no desire to be tolerated by you. You can be a christian and not be a bigot, it is possible. Just stop patting yourself on the back so much and take the time to actually learn the issues. Try being a true advocate for children who need it. Otherwise, stay the hell out of the way!

  • Ah, Obama, the only reason the rest of us don't totally hate America.

  • @mankytoes Speak for yourself. I like America for a bunch of reasons.

  • @Tavener Alright, obviously that's a massive simplification. But you look at these Republicans, the ones leading the race for the nomination, in Europe these guys are radical nutters, not potential leaders.

  • @mankytoes I wont argue about any leaders. I was just commenting on America and Americans. Wich I've found to be quite pleasant more often than not.

  • Obama talks well but acts upon poorly.

  • Until I see a Republican say something like this, Democrats/liberals will always get my vote.

  • @maximum411 your such a hypocrite saying democrats/liberals are allowed to support the lgbt. i for one am a republican and support them. maybe not in the way most of you would considering im a christian and support gay right, i believe they should have "civil unions" but marriage is made for one man and one woman. believe me when i say this from one person to another gays are people to and i support them

  • @TheToontownprincess

    How am I being a hypocrite? I WANT Republicans to support LGBT people, but what I'm saying is that Republican politicians don't. I won't vote for a Republican unless that candidate supports LGBT rights (and other issues that are important to me, such as the environment, education, etc.) It's great that you support LGBT people, but why do you oppose gay marriage? Why do we need a separate name for it if they are equally important and valid?

  • @TheToontownprincess

    People used to argue that "separate but equal" was okay for blacks and whites (for example, it was argued that forcing blacks to sit in different train cars from whites was acceptable as long as the train cars were equal in quality). Of course, in reality, the train cars never were equal in quality. We have since ruled that "separate but equal" is not Constitutional. The lesson here is that if one group must be kept separate, it is not equal.

  • @TheToontownprincess

    Also, the problem is that even if you personally support LGBT rights, if you vote for a candidate who opposes them (virtually all Republican candidates) you will still be furthering the anti-gay agenda, even if you yourself are not anti-gay. Do you see the problem here?

  • I can't believe that more than 1,000 people "disliked" a video about the president empowering our struggling youth. How sad. This campaign is extremely important. Good job Obama for standing up and making a difference in young LGBTQI lives!

  • @merbears8 Yeah, but for every 1 asshole there's 14.7 people to beat the shit outta them and support, love, and comfort LGBT-orientated people.

  • @merbears8 I can believe it, some people just can't see past their own agendas. The wonderful thing is the 14 to 1 ratio of likes to dislikes. The majority of us are getting the message. :)

  • my best friend is gay and if any one made her take her own life i would beat the kids who made her take her own life

  • watch?v=ttuq_KdNTKk

  • I just want to hug him o_o because he's so awesome.

  • The most important series in the world

    "THE GREAT DISASTERS"

  • I may not be a lesbian, but I have a really good friend who is... matter of fact, she's my best friend. I don't know what I'd do, if she ended her life, just because of some stupid bullies! Honestly, have you ever seen Bush doing this? Obama is by far the best president that the United States ever had! Vote Obama, everyone. The only reason he's having problems ruling this country is because Bush and all the others left him with a huge mountain full of garbage!

  • Aww

  • This makes me happy (:

  • BTW I just realized this was made a couple years ago. So excuse my comment on it being around election time. He's still kissing ass.

  • And just so everyone knows, I'm bi and these videos have always made me feel less alone, I'm sure I'm not the only one. That Obama is joining in just shows that there is a glimmer of hope for us in the future. I think. 

  • The only reason the government continues to have anything to do with gay marriage, is because so many christian republican politicians think it somehow relates to religion, also forgetting that even if it did it is law for church and state to be separate. It's in the constitution, which republicans are "supposed" to want to keep intact. But they disregard it whenever it's not convenient for them. Obama is not the problem. The first state to have it legalized Ny, is democrat predominantly

  • Ok we have government officials saying it gets better, yet they do nothing to equalize the rights and benefits of the LGBT Community! Great job government..

  • so some gay guy wants to end his life because he went emo and the world is shocked, but if someone wants to end theyr life because they lost everything to politics thats just normal. thats why the majority of the planet isn't ok with this crap. noone likes an atention whore. you got problems? suck it up like everyone else and deal with it princess.

  • Look at Obama reaching out to the LGBT citizens the year he is trying to get re-elected. Kissing ass for votes!

  • @TheSjs92 You don't see Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, or Mitt Romney doing this, do you?

  • @willytillyfilly I don't give a damn! It's not about political parties. I only support one of those candidates. Also Michelle Bachmann has been out for a while. Santorum is still in (not that he should be!)

    This project (It Gets Better) simply doesn't work. Heck, there have been a few speakers for the project that have gone and killed themselves. This doesn't stop bullying and it doesn't stop those who are suicidal. -.-

  • @TheSjs92 Have you ever notice that you may not ever meet a (openly) gay person in your whole school? A gay boy may think that he is doomed to never be compreended and accepted by anyone in his life. This feeling is the major factor for having suicidal thoughts, so It Gets Better is a life saving project and every american should be very proud of their president for doing this video.

    Many things need to be change in this country, but not the administration.

  • @bushit123456

    Sweetie, my university has a lot of openly glbt students and I'm one of them. When I was in high school I was in the 'closet'. I did fear how people would react. One day my mother found out and as a teen I did have suicidal thoughts. However one thing that the media and this 'It Gets Better' project fail to do is recognize that these teens aren't all committing suicide for the same reason. I've heard of a few highly publicized teen suicides of homosexuals where....

  • @TheSjs92 Well, sweetie, you may live in gayhappyland, but not everybody does. My school had only 1 gay person. I am not saying one in my class, I mean the whole school. And he was not even "exactly" out. Because he was also a travestite, people just suposed he was homosexual as well.

    What the project did get right is that when these kids know they are not alone, they are less likely to kill themselfs. Sorry to say, but denying that is simply stupid.

  • @bushit123456 I'm pretty sure they know they're not alone. Go back to what I said about these kids that are making It Gets Better videos and then killing themselves. What message does that show them. Obviously it doesn't always get better and this is not the way to go about it. There are things that can be done. People are focusing on the teens attempting or committing suicide that are GLBT. Why not go after bullying and working on uniting this nation!

  • @bushit123456 people that knew the person mentioned other things not involving their sexuality and the abuse. When I was younger I had frequently had suicidal thoughts. Only a small bit of that had to do with my fear and abuse based on my sexuality. I grew up as an introverted depressed individual. I certain am not saying that there aren't people that are committing suicide for this reason, but just like the school shootings and the stranger danger coverage this simply doesn't work

  • @bushit123456 It even has less effect when people like Obama who oppose same-sex marriage and don't fully accept the 'lifestyle of being gay'

    Now I want to go back to these teens/young adults that are participating in this project and then going off to kill themselves. It is almost like for some it's turned into some therapeutic thing gone wrong. People say It Gets Better, but when someone is truly depressed and in that state of mind it simply doesn't help with the masses of ppl

  • @bushit123456 telling them how their life is going to be. Again to mention the people who say it gets better, but end up showing that maybe it doesn't when those people that kill themselves.

  • @TheSjs92 you must have failed school or been dropped as a child.

  • @DizBoyVin Actually I'm in college and have a 3.0 GPA. Where does your deduction come from?

  • fortunately i was never bullied for being in this lgbt category

  • NOBAMA 2012!

  • @pavelcernik You mean GOBAMA

  • you never saw bush doing thisss

    OBAMA 2012

  • @nonstoptrouble2 because the it gets better project was made in 2010 dumbass!

  • @cobrajcdude You dont need a 'it get better project' to show that you care about kids commiting suicide.

  • @nonstoptrouble2 bush had bigger issues to adress like 9/11 and the war you fucking punk, he just wasted your tax money to make this video.

  • @MrBrownns im a punk? haha you people trying to argue over the computer are pathetic.

  • @MrBrownns are you says someone trying to stop the bulling is a waste of tax dollars look at death row thats a waste they are there way to long

  • @yomushu Whats a waste of money is foreign aid and shit like this that does not stop anything because the message has already been thrown out into the public.

  • @nonstoptrouble2 .........-.-....he did one good thing... and you're gonna vote for him..? show's how politically indepth your mind is.

  • You are an amazing man Obama.

  • @lafatm3 The belief that inbreeding leads to birth defects is a common misconception. Also, the bible never explicitly says that Adam and Eve were the first or the only created humans. As the bible is against incest, it's unlikely that they were (according to religion). Nevertheless, not everybody is Christian and so not everyone should be subject to purely regulations founded in the religion.

  • @laifalbert What? Inbreeding does cause defects! That is a fact

  • @tomer3344 The defective genes are preexisting, but recessive. That means that there is one defective gene and one normal gene, but only the normal gene manifests itself. If 2 people of the same family have children, it is more likely that both will pass on a defective gene to the child, which will only then be physically manifested.

  • The president does not make the laws. Perhaps you should have basic knowledge of the political system before making such claims.

  • haha, the youtube url of this video is "geyAFbSDPVk"

    gey....

    gey!

  • @aKimmik Don't see what your trying to point out...

  • Speech that saves lives.

  • good speech but ummmmmmmmmmmmm u dont support gay marriage...... I hate to use the term "Hypocrite" but I think it applies.

  • i think obama has said that he doesn't really LIKE same-sex marriage, but he supports the people who are homosexual. whatever the case may be, i support obama no matter what. OBAMA 2012!

  • im in love with the american president oops.

  • What's more likely?

    A) Certain members of the same gender are attracted to one another even though they cannot procreate.

    B) Two humans were placed in a garden on earth. They bred, their children got married and bred, their children's children got married and bred until eventually 7 billion people inhabited the earth without any genetic defects.

  • @lafatm3 If you are implying that there is no God and that God hates gay people, well then i dissagree. God has 2 dads, and he wouldnt make someone that way if it were wrong.

  • @lafatm3 sarcastically trying to ridicule one's belief doesn't help us.

  • Thank you for posting this, whitehouse.

  • Bullying is inevitable. Hateful and disgusting and contemptible, but inevitable. Human beings, teenagers most of all, will self-segregate along almost any lines.

    But bravo, Barack Obama.

  • As a gay man who was constantly harassed when in high school, I say thank you Mr. President. You are spot on in regards to looking back with compassion at the troubling times and pushing for the world to be a better place for others, instead of just repeating the same hatred.

  • I love Obama. I just wish his ideas would go through the whole darwin process and fully "evolve" as he says.

  • Well said Obama ! I really hope you get elected again(:

  • Wonder if he'd go in front of the Muslim TV and say the same thing..?? Doubt it

  • i hate those anti-gay, greedy, hypocritical conservatives. Their Ideology is a threat to our Constitution and to how our government should properly function (tho i supported the war in iraq, afgan, the war on terror against islamic jihadism) Which President Obama has done a very good job.

  • Look I am a conservative. I admit I don't vote straight line but majority of the time I vote Republican. I also believe any person Gay or Straight deserves to have the same rights. However passing laws for gay marriage is just wrong. Marriage should be recognized if two people can find a church or judge that agrees to marry them. Its really simple. Marriage is a union between two consenting adults or approved by the parents of the two people wanting to get married. Nothing more.

  • @straighttotheAce That would be nice, but it's too late for that. Marriage is no longer a religious union, it is also a legal binding, it is an issue of both religion and law now.

  • I was a bit shocked when I read the title of this. Now, I'm grateful I clicked.

    This video has made me respect this man even more.

  • obama for president again :) only because he is against bullying and isn't judgemental or discriminatory like the majority of the candidates.

  • One of the reasons why i like Obama <3

  • I have been bullied many many times and i made a video please take 1 minute of your time and check out the video on my channel to get the word out there

  • @bushit123456 America is extremely conservative? How did the president get elected then? All of America isn't like the South, where gays are basically at the bottom of the totem pole. Your statements are so wrong I wonder where you live. More than half the country supports gay rights for the first time since it became a national issue.

  • @Bobwhome141 There is no such thing as leftism in U.S. as it exist anywhere else in the world. Obama won because the election was after a terrible republican administration, and because he posed himself as centrist (I would say that the republican party is ultra-right and the democrats are center).

    It is true that Mccain lost, but the fact that he got the 2nd place with such tremendously absurd opinions proves that americans are conservative.

  • You happen to be major participant upon YouTube ...

  • He is one in a million. We will be lucky to have another president anywhere close to this kind of decency and compassion in this century.

  • Obama, my channel is my digital love letter to people of all colors and sexual orientations. Coming from a straight guy, we all want to be validated for similar things... Live & Learn.

  • Comment removed

  • my favorite Obama's contribution to the LGBT community is signing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr Hate Crime Prevent act...but lets not forget..he terminated the Dont Ask Dont Tell policy.

  • So we had 3'1/2 yrs of somewhat apparently things being ok in the land and the sheeple were buying the false hope ..and now it looks like you sold us out and taking us to hell so I'm guessing again and thinking you just might be re elected ..then we will have the other 3 1/2 yrs of tribulation ..if were lucky ! if you dont send your gov hired killers to murder the innocent people and say they were terrorist...? .when are you enforcing your marshal law and your mark of the beast ?The people ask

  • Mr Obama can you tell us .why there are 30,000guilotenes in the USA on different military bases ?and why all the new gas pipes around the fema camps and new incinerators ????can you tell us why and who are they for ?and who is paying for this ? tax payers perhaps ..or just rolling out of the feds endless paper with the Illuminati one eye on it .Also why didn't you veto the NDAA 1031 ?I really never imagined you would turn on us like that ..

  • I agree that noone should ever be bullied if they are sodomites or whatever they are ..if they are just someone with another belief ..however Mr Oboma never deals with the public when it comes to life and death issues ..and what his policies are doing to Humanity ..I would like to get some answers about things like ..H.A.A.R.P. CHEMTRAILS ...this is affecting our actual lives ..they are deadly ..as deadly as the secrecy and lies behind these issues ..the wars they never end,,their plans QUESTION

  • @SchmootieKat Obama never deals with the public when it comes to life and death issues??humm... Obama reshaped the health care forum for the benefit of the poor....also when the Libya dictator told the whole world that hes going slaughter the innocent protesters, Obama threatened him hes gonna beat the living crap out of him if he does ; )

  • You have done great job with all of these video tutorials !

  • I am so excessive any time seeing your main video lessons .

  • I bet whoever (if there is anyone) who bullied Obama as a kid is shitting their pants right now

  • An incredible man.

  • Your current effort is enthusiasm for me .

  • Your new movie shows... They're so trendy .

  • National Defense Authorization Act <<<< It gets better

  • Why is it that as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?

  • just be thankful it's not Bush.

  • Appears to be like most people are conversing around your courses ...

  • It gets better for the 1%

  • Mr Obama... you know you can make it better right.. Why dont you do something about it.

  • yo Barack Obama i hear you like weed

  • The words that touched me was... "You did nothing wrong, You didn't do anything to deserve getting bullied and there is a whole world waiting for you filled with possibilities." -Barack Obama

  • We've just simply produced blog post along with your main video clip !!!

  • We've just crafted a article with your primary online video ...

  • MR. PRESIDENT YOUR FIRED

  • I like how he said erbody

  • Thank you Mr. President!

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone think it would be possible that John McCain, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum or Ron Paul would make a video in support of gays suffering from bulling in their presidency? Some of these candidates are even homophobic!

    Obama still is the best option for president.

  • @bushit123456 they'd lose votes, so that's a no.

  • @bushit123456 Ron Paul is actually ok with gay marriage. The rest I can agree on.

  • @DWordDtour Ron Paul thinks the aproval of gay marriage is social engineering(something that he considers always absolutely bad),he is okay with gays as long as they dont "impose" their relationship on anyone else(by the way,can someone explains what this imposition is?Hes not the first to say about it...),he said that Lawrence v.Texas decision(the end of sodomy laws)was uncostitutional,hes agaisnt gay adoption,and agaisnt hate crime bill.

    deathandtaxesmag have good articles on this

  • @bushit123456 Do you think Obama would have made one if his PR people hadn't have told him to because it would boost his approval rating?

  • @bushit123456 Santorum for President! One Man - One Woman = Baby=Natural

  • @thestroll1 one man+one woman+condom=no baby=not natural?

    one man+one woman but one of them is infertile=no baby=not natural?

    one man that had vasectomy+one woman that had tubectomy=no baby=not natural?

    Enough with the hipocrisy! Stop pretending that anti-gay hate have any logical reasons!

  • @bushit123456 Always have and always will support Obama, although I'm British. I'll kick myself when any of them make a video like this.

  • fuck u

  • @jacolynOWNS the president can't just legalize something. Learn your facts

  • I like him more now XD

  • How does this not have millions more views? This should be the most watched video on youtube. The President of the United States of America looks directly into a camera and says its absolutely okay to be gay and to be who you want to be. Its truly amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • @SammiToriCat actually to be fully pro gay rights you would have to support gay marriage. to deny them marriage is to deny them legal rights as committed partners that are given to married couples.

  • We need straight men like this everywhere !! Gays are humans too .

  • OBAMA 2012

  • Then why don't you legalize gay marriage, Mr Obama? fuck you, hypocrite. 

  • @JacolynOWNS it's not that simple.

  • @sammywhatammy He has said that he doesn't even want to legalize it, so you're missing my point.

  • Now I pray to my nation destroyed under God

  • @SammyAceProductions You A** hole

  • Comment removed

  • @SammyAceProductions I don't have a problem that you fuck gays.

  • Is it really gets better ?: P
