Google: "It's ok to be Gay- it gets better"
The Google Chrome team has created a supportive video for LGBT teens as part of the “It Gets Better” campaign.
The video, which aired during prime time on Fox’s Glee Tuesday night, is a 91-second clip that compiles some of the most inspirational and helpful clips from the It Gets Better YouTube channel. The project was started by gay rights activist Dan Savage. In September, Savage decided to create a YouTube channel to solicit videos from anybody that wanted to send a positive message to bullied or struggling LGBT teens.
The result was a massive outpouring of support from celebrities and everyday people. Neil Patrick Harris, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Apple employees are just some of the many people to create videos for the project. Even President Barack Obama has uploaded a video to let LGBT teens know that “there are people out there who love you and care about you just the way you are.”
The Google Chrome video is an amazing compilation of the project. People will recognize Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, Kathy Griffin and even Woody from Toy Story, but the commercial also contains messages from a wide variety of people of different ages and backgrounds. This isn’t Google’s first time contributing to the project, either; some of Google’s LGBT employees created a video as well.
