BYU Students Release New “It Gets Better” Video Targeted At Gay Mormons

3:00 pm, April 6th | by Amy Tennery

A new, powerful video from a group of Brigham Young University students joins the “It Gets Better” campaign today.

The “It Gets Better” movement, for the uninitiated, aims to support bullied and marginalized LGBT youth. And as the students in this video show, they know a thing or two about facing adversity as part of the LGBT set — especially considering, as the video notes, that BYU is regularly ranked among the least “LGBT-friendly” colleges in the U.S. It puts this PSA in even harsher perspective.

“I know what it’s like when your father condemns you. I know what it’s like when people don’t talk to you,” one student says.

The Mormon church’s stance on gay marriage is the same as Obama’s.

ps, It’s funny, if you look at the African American and Hispanic communities, they have the same views on the subject as Mormon’s but they are never called bigots. Why is that?

What a profound video! Congratulations to the USGA for giving a caring “face” to a hateful label. And bravo to all these students for their message of hope to others!

there is another video on YouTube regarding the Mormon Church and its historical stance on social issues, homosexuality being one of them. It’s a powerful and haunting video…a must see for people interested in the discussion of religion and H8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rra4SAdySEk
