It Gets Better: David in Iroquois Falls

As a gay youth growing up in the small town of Iroquois Falls, Ontario, I am here to let you know that it does indeed get better with my contribution to Dan Savage's 'It Gets Better' campaign.

Ciao Bello!

David "Il Mio Amico e Uomo Bello"! Your contribution here resonating with just one person? I think not, it has clearly spoken to the heart of Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here! And he, no I that is suspect that it will continue to resonate with many other "At Risk" LGBTQ youth especially! David "Uomo Bello" (Beautiful Man) I'm so f**king proud of you!

Ti Amo "Bello!

E Molti Molti Baci! (Love n' Many Many Kisses)

I Loved your Video. I am not Gay but I homophobia is something that I find really upsetting and I get very passionate about supporting Gay Rights- Even that in itself has led to a lot of difficulties. I am Glad you made it through your experiences, you seem like a lovely person- watching this really moved me :)

Go Dave!!!!!!!!!! I.F. is incestuous, discriminating, poorly educated, full of drunks, and they are going through the karma they created (the town is going down in a blaze of glory). You are more the norm than most of them. The few of us that know are doing fine. Power!

First video I watched from this project and you really hit where the hole in my chest grows. Being called faggot everyday, getting yelled at by passing vehicles hurts and to finally hear someone say, "It gets better" and mean it, is a life saver. Thank you David.

Very inspiring David.

I hope the people of my hometown had a chance to see this video and come to the realization that it's wrong to hate but it's never wrong to love.
