I blogged yesterday about the US 'It Gets Better' campaign which comes in the wake of a series of high-profile suicides among gay teenagers in the States. As is so often the way, England has followed suit with Stonewall launching a campaign called 'It Gets Better...Today'. It's actually a good idea but it might have been nice to more formally link it into the US campaign and try and get a global community (which YouTube does rather well anyway). Stonewall has filmed a series of professional films and the one I find the most compelling is from Lance Corporal James Wharton - an openly gay soldier. For all those in the US fearful of a world post DADT it is essential viewing. For all those seeking hope, it is equally compelling. You can view the video below and check out the Stonewall YouTube channel here.
