San Francisco says "It Gets Better!"

When you're young and gay you might feel completely alone. But you're not! There's a great big huge community out there that's got your back. It's hard to be a teenager and unable to leave home, but once you tough it out and set out on your own, life gets SO MUCH BETTER. Hang in there!

Big big thanks to all the San Franciscans who participated! And also to Director of Photography Jamie Kravitz, whose work can be found at http://www.digivitz.com.

If you have the capability to acknowledge that we touched the moon then you should have the capability of acknowledging that homosexuality is a normal sexual orientation. For the, person complaining about being a virgin and being picked on. I'm a gay, virgin, hispanic person, with a strong love for school...I'm fine you'll be too ..

Ciao Miei Amici!

All the beautiful folks here, and you Matt "Bello" for uploading this, make Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here wanna jump on a broom or a "Flying Carpet", cross "The Bay" and give you all a huge "Bear Hug" and a kiss of coarse! We queer (LGBTQ) folks along with our numerous wonderful straight friends and allies are changing everything, and irrevocably so! Yeahhhhh!

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

I have no problem with homosexual people but I can't stand that overly gay accent...kinda like how I can't stand some thick British accents no hate

We're not pushing, we're pushing back. Against bigotry that is based of centuries of ignorance. People who selectively choose an ancient law from The Torah but choose to ignore other laws, ex; shaving; Lev. 19:27, football on Saturdays; Ex. 20:8, wearing cotton poly/blends Lev. 19:19 assoc. with a woman while on her period; Leviticus 15:19-20=death.

Bigotry and ignorance have historically been widely embraced by the masses until pushback, as now, otherwise, we would still be in The Dark Ages.
