@donkyheads2 I'll admit that I can be naive about internet "anonymity". Your comment says you're 15, but your profile says you're 25, so...whoever you are, however old you are, if you're telling the truth (and if you are, I apologize for assuming you might not be), I strongly encourage you to find a safe adult you can talk to about what's going on. It really doesn't last forever. Some people are hateful and moronic and abusive -- but they don't get the last word.

@bgaigirl many teenagers use earlier dates of birth because if you are under 18 there are some videos youtube doesn't let you watch. When I was a teenager my profile said I was 21. That's what I think.

@phantomsuccour That makes sense. Thanks. I have received a lot of hateful, venomous comments here (which I have opted not to approve), so I feel a little leery when something seems a little off. I truly hope @donkyheads2 finds someone to talk to. Or, at the very least, that he keeps watching these It Gets Better videos.

@donkyheads2 p.s. it doesn't matter if you're gay or not. abuse is abuse and you have a right not to be mistreated by anyone.

Your wedding photos look beautiful.

oh you two are beautiful and so funny ! i have just laughed alot at your bloopers reel. your message was warm, honest and so full of love. it's lovely to see two people so clearly in love, and that is what this campaign is all about. spreading love and hope. WELL YOU DID THAT.

Thank you for this video, you've made me see a future for myself.

Just showing your wedding photos made me realize that I can have a wedding with two brides in gowns. I know it sounds stupid but in all the lesbian weddings I've seen/heard of, one bride is wearing a suit.

Now I know I can have my dream wedding and see my bride in a dress.

@donkyheads2

ignore them, ignore the bullies. they have no control over you or your life. if you show them you are hurting then they are winning and you are losing so they will continue to do the same thing cause they know its the only way that they will win. show them you dont care, even if you do and it killls you, smile and say fuck it. you can be happy without them, i promise. dont be a loser, be a winner and dont take your life because ignore fucks that are so low they have to hurt others

@bgaigirl Yeha it saddens me that there are so many people with hate in there hearts. I'm black and gay and if you one day monitored youtube videos with black people, gay people, and jewish people, you will always find a lot of hateful comments. It's sad, but remember as Martin Luther King Jr said or quoted someone, "The arc of history bends towards justice." And let us continually work and be vigilant to make sure the next generation is more tolerant than ours, just like the liberals of 60's
