If you have ever been bullied, Secretary Vilsack wants you to know that it gets better.
The “It Gets Better” project is a website that aims to inspire hope for young people facing harassment because they are gay or perceived to be gay. With over 15 million views the website encourages people to submit videos to show LGBT youth that despite the bullying, it does indeed get better. Secretary Vilsack recently joined the movement and submitted his own video because he wants LGBT youth – especially youth in small-town and rural America – to know that they are never alone.
I hope that you take a moment to watch the Secretary’s video submission to the “It Gets Better” project. It’s important for LGBT youth of rural America, as well as their family members and friends to know that there are resources available and folks willing to help.
Thank you so much, and I hope that you too will take a stand to stop bullying in your community.
