Thanks guys! That was truly beautiful and inspirational; I pray that this video will challenge those in need, feeling like it is the end of the rope, to stay strong while reaching out for help to those who will support and love you just the way you are. You are not alone and we understand, even when you may have families and friends may never truly get you. Make this your change so that you get to see that it really does get better. Hang in there!!!

Thank you Ben and Evan-I only wish that I had friends like you when I was young...

I'm a rhythmic gymnastics coach and I know how homophobic the sport of gymnastics can be. In my club there was a boy doing men's gymnastics who really wanted to do rhythmic so I fought for his right to join my class. But the club wouldn't let him compete because they were scared of "those things people would say". It's great to see people in the sport I love so much telling people like this kid it's okay to be who you are. Thank you :)

THANKX FOR THE SUPPORT!!!
MUCH LOVE FROM L.A. <3

You are an inspiration to me!
It's people like you guys who help me get through the day!
Knowing that other people out there are in the same position I'm in is really soothing because you guys are proof that people can get through it!
Stay strong and keep doing what you love!
We were Born This Way!
My name is Austin Noss, I'm 19 years old, I'm gay, and you guys showed me that it does get better!
Thank you for everything!
I support you!
