Tears

I watched a portion of this on the national news last night. I had tears. It was a brave and wonderful thing that he has done.

It Gets Better

I saw this yesterday, via Andrew Sullivan's blog. I, too, was moved to tears. The standing ovation from everyone in the room after he finished, was equally moving.

If anyone is curious, this is part of the It Gets Better Project, which was started by Dan Savage, the gay columnist of "Savage Love" fame. You can find the home page at www.itgetsbetterproject.com or access the videos directly from the YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/itgetsbetterproject

I was pleasantly surprised to find a message just added to the project by the governor of New York.
