The '''It Gets Better Project''' is a project founded in September 2010 in the wake of a number of suicides by gay teenagers who had been bullied for their sexual orientation. The idea behind the project is to tell gay teens to hold on to their homosexuality, promising them that adult homosexual life will provide them levels of happiness, potential, and positivity. It argues that a problem the gay community faces is homophobic bullying. 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 in backwards societies.<ref>http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/22/showing-gay-teens-a-happy-future/ Showing Gay Teenagers a Happy Future</ref>
