Sexuality and Sexual Orientation Resources
The It Gets Better Project
The It Gets Better Project was created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach–if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone—and it will get better. Resources to inspire hope, especially for students facing harassment, the site includes video testimonials, help resources, and a variety of action steps.
