After a spike in news reports on [[Homosexuality and mental illness|gay youth suicides]], Dan Savage started the [[It Gets Better project]].  The point of the project is to make videos assuring gay youths that their lives will improve after high school and college (despite the opposite being true due to the very nature of the homosexual lifestyle they choose to follow), and that bullying experienced for being gay will subside or be overcome by positive experiences.

In January 2012, [[Vox Day]] reported that two gay teens who had made videos for the It Gets Better Project died by suicide (see also: [[Mental Health and Homosexuality]]).<ref name="VoxDay">{{cite web |title=It really doesn't get better |publisher=Vox Day |date=19 Jan 2012 |url=http://voxday.blogspot.com/2012/01/it-really-doesnt-get-better.html |accessdate=18 Jun 2016}}</ref> Vox Day also indicated that it does ''not'' get better and that homosexual  propagandists promote an immoral and deviant lifestyle (see: [[Homosexuality and choice]] and [[Ex-homosexuals]]).<ref name="VoxDay"/> The inescapable fact is that for those who follow Savage's advice, it won't "get better".

The ''It Gets Better Project'' for which Savage received a special recognition award during the 15th annual Webby Awards in New York on the June 13, 2011,<ref name="OnSavageInTime"/> is currently a national embarrassment. In 2012, Savage was supposed to deliver an anti-bullying message to [[high school]] students. However, as many as 100 students walked out on his speech as he shouted vulgarities about the [[Bible]] and mocked [[Christian]]s.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dan Savage discusses bible at High School Journalism convention |date=27 Apr 2012 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao0k9qDsOvs |accessdate=18 Jun 2016}}</ref><ref name="mocks">[http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/anti-bullying-speaker-curses-mocks-christian-teens.html Anti-Bullying Speaker Curses Christian Teens] Starnes, Todd, FoxNews Radio, April 27, 2012</ref> It was reported that Savage engaged in verbal bullying as well.<ref name="mocks"/> In his effort to defend sexual perversions, Savage purported in his [[Anti-Christian]] slur that ''"We can learn to ignore the bullsh*t in the Bible and what it says about gay people,"'' and then claimed ''"The bible guys in the hall can come back now because I'm done beating up the bible."''<ref name="DailyMail2012">{{cite web |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2136502/Dan-Savage-blasts-Christian-teens-walked-lecture-criticised-bullsh-t-Bible.html |title=Anti-bullying speaker Dan Savage blasts Christian teens who walked out of lecture after he criticised 'bullsh*t in the Bible' |publisher=dailymail.uk |date=29 Apr 2012 |accessdate=18 Jun 2016}}</ref>
