I climbed a bridge to jump off it--because I was gay. 28 years later, I want to say why I'm so glad I didn't. It gets better.

Ive watched almost 15 of these videos. and Im happy to say that I now accept myself for who I am after hating myself for almost 15 years. These videos have pulled me from depression, and to everyone that's made one of them.. thank you(: I idolize people as brave as you and who are willing to help others

@jakedudeman987 I would love to have a genocide of the whole ignorant community. They are a waste of this earth's oxygen. I hope you ignorant die a terrible death.

@TDWPMegalomaniaTDWP Religion is stupid but Faith isn't

For awhile I hated God, because I thought he didn't love me because I am lesbian. I now know, that's not the case. He does love me, doesn't matter if I am straight or lesbian.

It angers me that a preacher would preach such a sermon. The man is missing the whole point of Jesus.

@HartlessBrush i dont agree with them, i can just look past our differences and still be friends.

Here is my opinion. Im not gay but Im not aginst gays. I think if people want to b happy with a male or female let them it's there decision. No 1 has any right to destroy a bond between lovers. No 1 should be demonized or rejected to society for being different. Now I do believe in male n female sex, I am straight. But I think when some1 is rejected for feeling lov I think thts jus stupid. No 1 deserves tht.
