It Gets Better - For Christians, Too - Paul from Toronto

This is my video contribution to the "It Gets Better" project. In my video, I discuss my experience as a gay teenager growing up in a conservative Christian church, how it impacted my relationship with God, and how my life got better once I learned to accept myself.

The "It Gets Better" Project is designed to prevent gay kids from committing suicide. It does so by showing them how things can get better, no matter how bleak things might look when they're kids.

This video is dedicated to Justin Aaberg (15 years old), Billy Lucas (15), Cody J. Barker (17), Seth Walsh (13), Tyler Clementi (18), Asher Brown (13), Harrison Chase Brown (15), Raymond Chase (19), Felix Sacco (17), Caleb Nolt (14), and all the other LGBT youth who have committed suicide over the years. You will be remembered.
