"When I Knew" & It Gets Better --National Coming Out Day 2010

My It Gets Better video coincides with National Coming Out Day and the events my GSA had planned for Monday. I made this video on Tuesday but technology was giving me problems, so now it's finally up.

Please remember that it does get better.

If you actually read this description, use the word PANTS somewhere in your comment (because I wasn't wearing any when I filmed this). It'll be our gay, little secret.

I never watched this video before until you rearranged your uploads on your sidebar. I....cried. Because I'm lame. I came out to my mom when I was 15. I'm always so hesitant to tell people (mainly girls) because we become friends and then I say, "Hey, by the way..." and for some reason, they are all so arrogant that they think that means I have a crush on THEM. And THAT is why I have three friends who are girls and the rest are gay or straight men. lol

@charliesaysgo I realized that a LOT of people kept asking me about videos that were in playlists, so I wanted to make sure they were seen somehow, as well as the regular uploads that are not in playlists. I'm glad it was more visible. =)

And yeah, that's how my friend was. But I actually haven't had that problem with anyone else yet. I guess it's just my school being a super accepting little place.

Gosh Cara, I've had no idea. i've been wathcing your pagan/wicca/witchy vids for a long time now (from another user) and when searching Coming Out Day this vid came up. Amazing. Also thanks for helping ME in this. Lots of love from Sweden.

This was a beautiful video, I don't know what else to say without sounding ridiculous... so know that I watched and found tears in my eyes before the end of the video. You are a well spoken young lady who I am sure touches lives, I know your videos have already touched mine.

Remember, There's always someone that loves you. And I'm at least one to listen! One more person for the viewers to talk to. ^^
