== It Gets Better ==

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, and that bullying experienced for being gay will subside or be overcome by positive experiences.

The It Gets Better Project is currently a national embarrassment. In 2012, [[homosexual activist]] Dan 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 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"/> Savage noted in his speech that anti-homosexual rhetoric often cites the Bible for its authority while ignoring the Bible's pro-slavery stance, and its ban on eating shellfish, two issues which are passed over in today's society.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2136502/Dan-Savage-blasts-Christian-teens-walked-lecture-criticised-bullsh-t-Bible.html Anti-bullying speaker Dan Savage blasts Christian teens who walked out of lecture after he criticised 'bullsh*t in the Bible'] dailymail.uk, April 29, 2012</ref>
