I'm not gay but I know full well what it means to feel alone and scared, and knowing that there are other people that will lend you a hand can help a lot :)


Ben, great video! You and Chris seem really confident and proud of who you are now and loving together. Thanks for posting this.


I loved your video! :D And I also loved that comment about your first date still going, even after having been together this long. That's awesome.

Thanks for continuing the message that "It Gets Better", because it really does!

Hey guys and gals! I thought this'd be a good place to post this. I am a composer of modern classical music. Two years ago I composed a work called "Vicissitude". In essence it's my "It Gets Better" Video (even though at the time I didn't know what those were or even if they were around). I wrote a piece for 13 brass musicians and 4 percussionists, though I never intended to have it performed due to its intensely personal subject. However my tuba playing roommate mistakened the file as the piece I was supposed to be writing for him and he listened to it. He said he was "blown away" and "this HAD to be performed". (That's coming from a straight guy, hahaha.) He insisted that I finish the last movement and have the piece performed. I never intended for any of this but in April 2009 it was done and received a fantastic response. I thought I'd post the youtube video of the audio of the premier performance in case any of you readers are interested in this kind of stuff.
