Center Theatre Group (CTG) staffers share personal stories from childhood in a message of support for bullied lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth as part of the It Gets Better Project. This video was commissioned by CTG’s Education and Community Partnership department and created by documentary filmmaker Aleigh Lewis and includes music by the band Live Footage.

I can remember how I felt when I was suicidal and others would say that things would improve in a year or two. I was barely hanging on minute to minute; I couldn’t imagine being in that much pain for another month, let alone a year, while waiting for things to get better. As a result, I really couldn’t hear their messages of support. I hope that anybody who is in the state that I was in will hear the message of this video and maybe hold on those next 5 minutes and the next 5 minutes after that, and really believe that if they can do that, it will get better.

The It Gets Better Project exists to uplift, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. Growing up isn’t easy, especially when you are trying to affirm and assert your sexual orientation and/or gender identity. It can be a challenging and isolating process – but, the good news is, no one has to do it alone. We hope stories from people around the world, including RuPaul, Jane Lynch, and Laverne Cox, help inspire you today!
