It Does Get Better Project - Jade Starr

After hearing about this amazing project I really wanted to get involved and share a little about my story and hopefully reach out to some young LGBT people to let them know It Does Get Better!!! I'm Jade Starr. I'm a transgender singer/songwriter from Sydney, Australia from the band DreadCircus. I just wanted to remind every person coming to terms with being LGBT and being verbally or physically abused because of this that there are many people within our community who have faced the same persecution. We have such a large network within our broad and diverse community who are willing to help. Please reach out to us all before choosing to take your own life. As somebody who has contemplated suicide many time before transition I just want to assure you all that YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!! and things will get better!!!
If you want to read my full life story please do so on the link below.

I've also added a live recording of a song from my soon to be released CD "Do What Makes You Happy" as the words of the song are very relevant to this amazing project.

Hey Jade, it's mitch :)

This song has made me very very happy and I am very happy that I have met you. I really can't wait to see you again. It will be so much better because of the fact that we will have more in common then just the music we listen to.

Your voice is beautiful and as is the guitar. I am again so happy I have met you

I love you :)

A loving message and one so much needed .

I think the greatest difficulty is there are so many who just have no idea at all...

so where to start? I'm really happy to see this video and hear your voice Jade.
