This video has left me speechless. I either start crying and blabber on for 50 paragraphs on the perfection of this video project or I shut up and type that I'm completely, absolutely and irrevocably.. SPEECHLESS.

I'm half tempted to tattoo the URL of this video on my forehead. <3

I absolutely love this, it is amazingly well done and addresses the REAL systemic issue that queer people and queer youth face. Thank you!

"... in our churches ..." Exactly.

Great video!

Nothing like a making video that supports the latest fad to show how unique and interesting you really aren't. Nice way to go with the crowd.

beautiful. thank you. thank you. thank you.

LOVE the video! Thanks for the conversation!

If you are able to contribute to our tour, check out our campaign on Kickstarter: kck.st/dJtJqi.

$5 or $500 - it all helps send our team of queer/trans educators to towns, suburbs, and cities across North America on a mission of reteaching gender and sexuality.

you go! thank you for addressing the issues in real time, for proactively re-teaching people, for asserting that queer/trans youth deserve better Right Now.

Awesome. I wish I had seen this in high school.

Wow, this is very awesome. Thank you so much for making this video. While I appreciate the concept, I myself had a problem with the "It Gets Better" movement. I got through my teen years, and even my 20's, thinking "It gets better." But you know, other people got to actually LIVE during those years, not just wait until some far off future time when things get better and they might get to live like a REAL human being, equal to the others. Why haven't more people been advocating that queer youth need rights and respect _right now_, while they're still young, still living with their parents, still in school, and still legal minors (ie with far less legally defendable rights).

And I know deeply how the legal issue can be an issue, and the "just wait until later" mentality can leave long-term damage. I became homeless at age 17, and could not fight for my rights, even when in a courthouse and a lawyer's office. I was an advocate and public speaker for years, and often got comments about how articulate I was. I did NOT however, actually get stable housing. I'm in my 30's now, and the effects of not being seen as a real human being for the first 20 - 30 years of life have not disappeared. We need to live NOW.

Thank you, again, for the awesome video.

Love this, about time! I am a 45 yr old gayman (political definition), who explored these issues many years ago and was pilloried for it ! I have been waiting for the last twenty years for something like this :):):)

I love your approach in this video. For me this approach is much preferable to the "It Gets Better" project in that we need a radical rethinking of our societal norms. You provide some clues how to do that.

Lovely! Congrats and thank you!

Thanks Sid and everyone who appeared in this powerful piece. I will show it to my GSA next week. Onward!

This was such a wonderful video! I especially loved where she said "I am neither a boy or a girl". It's a bit biased on my part, but as a bigendered/queer youth who feels like a very large majority, it's really inspiring to see others standing up for us as a whole. I hope to some day have this bravery too.

I also agree with Jo this is a fresh and better take to these issues than "It Gets Better" and is what we need to focus on as a society

As a queer rabbi I applaud all those on this video and those who were behind it's creation. We need to look beyond the issues like DADT, marriage equality, etc. at the other issues that are creating a society that is putting queer youth at risk.
It may well get better, but we also need to take action, perhaps radical action, among people of faith and others to make things better now!
I don't think we need to abandon the agenda that is so important to my generation, but we need to realize that the other issues which this powerful, beautiful video raises are life and death and are the true core issues in our struggle.

I love this video! AMAZING!

Awesome! Well done.
