The It Gets Better Project is a liberal project that tells gay teens to hold on to their homosexuality, falsely promising them that adult homosexual life will provide them "levels of happiness, potential, and positivity". Its main argument is that the only problem the gay community faces is lack of acceptance and toleration from "straight" people. If they can "just get through their teen years", they'll be able to enjoy the protection of adult power and camaraderie which will overcome the "daily tormenting and bullying" they face now.
The project is the creation of Dan Savage and attempts to tackle the high levels of teen suicide, especially among homosexual teens. What Dan has done is to get national recognition, a campaign message of false hope that reached to the White House, It Gets Better.
It is noble to help troubled young people but it's wrong to deceive them. Dan Savage's video message is wrong. These teens need help, they need more, they need the truth. Mentally and physically, it gets better by leaving homosexuality. At the least, abstinence will prolong your life, not shorten it, unlike what Savage and the gay agenda advocates.
In January of 2012, Vox Day reported that two homosexual males who promoted the It Gets Better Project committed suicide. (see also: Mental Health and Homosexuality).[1]

Christian faith vs. defeatism and acceptance of sexual sin
See also: Ex-homosexuals and Overcoming homosexuality
A person doesn't move forward in their life by accepting and embracing their sin, they move forward by repenting of it and establishing a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The sin of homosexuality is no different than other besetting sins in terms of it being able to be conquered through the assistance of Christ and the existence of Christian ex-homosexuals is testimony to this fact. Christian faith has been conquering the sin of homosexuality for over 2,000 years.
The Apostle Paul wrote:
| “ | Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. - I Corinthians 6:9-11 (NASB) | ” |
Peter LaBarbera is the President of Americans for Truth which is a organization which counters the homosexual agenda. LaBarbera stated the following regarding Christian ex-homosexuals who reported being transformed by the power of God:
| “ | Another factor from my experience as a close observer of the “ex-gay” phenomenon is that many former homosexuals do not linger in “reparative therapy” programs, or participate in them at all. They attribute their dramatic and (relatively) rapid transformation to the power of God, and likely would not show up in a study of this kind. In fact, these “unstudied” overcomers would appear to be the most successful ex-homosexuals because they’ve moved on with their lives — as “reborn” Christians move on after overcoming any besetting sin.[2] | ” |
Peter LaBarbera's statement above concerning overcoming homosexuality certainly has some evidence supporting it. For example, in 1980 a study was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry and eleven men participated in this study. The study reported that eleven homosexual men became heterosexuals "without explicit treatment and/or long-term psychotherapy" through their participation in a Pentecostal church.[3]

Various benefactors are lined up including: GLSEN, George Soros, ACLU, and The Trevor Project. Barack Obama became involved and like Savage, recorded a video in support of It Gets Better. To Obama, its a civil rights issue. Inspired by Obama, the White House Staff created a video in support of It Gets Better project. White House Staff, YouTube
