My video for the "It Gets Better" project. If you are a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning teenager, or just someone who is being bullied, please know that you aren't alone, and it does get better. And if no one else will listen, send me a message. I'll listen.

  • I read in interesting interview from a magizine called pride in which Dan Savage the original it gets better video maker opened my eyes and showed me that truly there is grass on the other side.

  • @wave2525

    This video made me cry my heart out as i write this i now have watched it many times not being able to tear away from the kindness and love that you show

  • @Blainebill39

    well you did deter me for the moment so dont let victor talk down to you like that and no your not selfish.

    :)

  • @ItsViktor Viktor, yes I in fact do try to support any great effort to combat the horrific phenomenon that personally caused me pain for decades! And do I use "Bobby Griffiths" name shamelessly? Guilty as charged, because for years it was in fact a connection that I ran from, to Italy, France and sometimes to Germany or the Netherlands!

  • @ItsViktor

    I saw Bobbys' mother Mary last month for the first time since the mid 90s, and confessed that it took me over a year to actually find the courage to open the Late Leroy Aarons book and read it, even though I had been eager to give him my interview!

  • @ItsViktor

    If after almost 30 years since Bobbys' death, his story is finally resonating with "At Risk" youth, and possibly parents and figures of authority, I shall continue to use Bobbys' name if I believe it will in any way deter just one young queer (LGBTQ) person from harming themselves! Yes Viktor my name is in fact Blaine William Andrews, and I was in fact at one time long ago Bobby Griffiths young Lover!

  • @blainebill39 Do you just do that to everyone? I highly doubt the real Blaine would flaunt that he was Bobby's ex, and call EVERY gay guy on youtube "babe" or " bello" . psh.

  • @wave2525

    Ciao Bello!

    Doug "Amico Mio"! Grazie for "Throwing In" on a "Campaign" or project if you will, that means so much to so many! That would of coarse include Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, who is so darn proud of you "Bello"! Wow "Bello" you "Diamond State" boys rock!

    Con L'Amore e Molti Baci! (Love n' Kisses Babe)

    Blaine

  • Doug, thank you for sharing. Each of us has a different story to tell, a different message of hope - even though we all are saying near the same thing. Thank you so much for sharing this - your empathy shines through your voice. :-)

  • It will never get better! The end is Nigh! God shall not be mocked!
