For LGBTQ Youth, "It Gets Better"

Over eighty percent of LGBTQ students report to being harassed at school. Last fall, a campaign was launched by Advice columnist Dan Savage and his party Terry Miller, to challenge homophobia and anti-gay bullying. This site's primary goal is to tell teens that eventually "It does get better." This hour, we’ll talk about what is happening now to make it better for LGBTQ teens, with representatives from Ohio State and the local It Gets Better campaign.
