Janet Jackson PSA for The Trevor Project - It Gets Better

Janet Jackson lends her voice to our cause with this special message addressed to LGBT youth:

"I want to speak to all the young people who mean so much to me. I know that sometimes life can seem insurmountable, especially during your teen years. And if you're lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, you're probably thinking you're all alone, but you're not. There is a world of acceptance waiting for you. If you've been a target of bullying, tell a trusted adult. And if you're feeling depressed, lonely or suicidal, contact The Trevor Project. It Gets Better."

@0adireita Why? Why would you even post such a comment? Honestly, you took the time out of your pathetic existence to post something so cruel and hurtful to someone who is, not only an icon, but also supporting a major difference in the world- acceptance of LGBT. It's not enough that you could've just avoided posting something, you actually had to post that? It's people like you that cause chaos in the world. Bastard! *You deserve it*

My bro is gay. I except, and love EVERYONE, straight, or not. Im straight, and i will fight to the ends of this earth for gay, lesbian, bisexual,trans, and so many other people! You can't help who you love. I mean, you love who you love, and you don't nessecarily have to know why you love them! In fact, I admire people who dare to be different! Homophibic people are just COWARDS. Please, if ANY OF YOU, EVER need someone to talk to, message me! I have no judgment, and I love ALL of you! BE YOU!!

Greetings from Norway!

Janet thank you so very much for raising awareness about this important cause.

Why wouldn't they just tell a teacher or fight back anyways? Instead they have to make videos to make them feel less butt hurt? Doesn't make sense bro.

@anonymousolid thats the dumbest piece of shit i have ever heard. so cuz u dont like someone its ok for u to beat down their self-esteem and bother them? from the comment u post i dont like u so how bout u tell me where u live so i can come and slap the shit outta your fugly face because i dont like u. think before u post silly comments that makes u sound ignorant. your right ppl are different. some deal with gay hate while others cant and they feel its better to be dead. what a sick fuck u are.

@anonymousolid You're an idiot. It's about torment, about going to school every single day and being tortured in a place you're supposed to be learning, preparing for life, and you're biggest concern should be "Omg did I get that assignment finished last night" not walking down the hall being shoved into lockers, starting down a hall and turning the other way because you know what's coming, people calling you names, laughing. That's pushing someone to the edge, educate yourself before you speak.

This woman right here is the only reason I'm still here :) I love you Janet with all my heart

[MrNicoleCherie]

Is there any such thing as a thank you anymore. Cause instead people would rather be rude. Thank you Janet!

@anonymousolid you dont know the struggles of LGBT youth. I have a very big problem with suicide because a cousin of mine commited suicide & I was very close 2 her. Its hard living a life of a lie, you very ignorant so dont say whats the big deal until you've walked in the shoes of a LGBT or a confused person.
