Dan Savage, the nationally syndicated writer, author and blogger, started a new YouTube channel, It Gets Better, to give hope to our next generation of LGBTs. The bullying, suicides and all-around difficulties of growing up different are still cause for alarm in 2010, even as society becomes more accepting of LGBTs. Savage started this project before the recent tragic news of more suicides among gay youth.
This week, Windy City Times is including a special section on the topic, in the words of our writers and guest essayists, hoping to be part of the dialogue with youth, telling them “it does get better.”
Windy City Times will be taking submissions of essays to run on our Web site, WindyCityTimes.com, and in future issues. Please send your submission to editor@windycitytimes.com
