It gets better

"It Gets Better," is a message to the LGBTQ community that has gained a lot of popularity over the past few years.  This uplifting message is addressed in a newspaper article in Windy City Times, written by John Fenoglio.  This article addresses the multiple LGBTQ suicides, and states that the main goal of the project is to show LGBTQ community that they are not alone, and that, well... It does gets better!
LGBTQ people are too often harassed for being who they are, and unfortunately, there are politicians that don't exactly act as proponents for the LGBTQ community, but there are many people that are involved that are more than willing to lend a helping hand.   
So next time a restrictive law is passed, or another state makes it illegal for people of the same sex to get married, or someone decides to make a smart remark, just remember that it gets better.
