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.

@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!

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!

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.

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)

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. :-)
