It Gets Better And Better Comments (15)

Cheaper_to_keep_her_tourVivica did theater...now everyone's doing it! Even "comedian"s.

Vivica A. Fox's "It Gets Better" video is such an unintentional parody it has to be seen to be believed. Her heart is in the right place, but "out of touch" doesn't begin to describe it. And it's got this score-settling undertone that would work if she weren't talking about her career as opposed to her personal life. Her head's so far up her own ass she should be on Xtube...

"These People Should Not Be On TV. Point-Blank. They Shouldn't." Comments (8)

Via Kenneth In The (212): This gay young person calls bullshit on the cast of The A-List for claiming "It Gets Better" when their show (and maybe their lives—hard to say, the show's so scripted) is all about bullying, picking each other apart, social-status oneupsmanship and even, as of last night. fisticuffs. Can't agree with him that they "should not be on TV," but it's definitely questionable that they would be so central on Logo and ridiculous that they would try to tell gay teens "It Gets Better" while doing everything they're doing to promote that "It Gets Worse"...video after the jump...

It Gets Into The Groove Better: "I Wouldn't Have A Career If It Weren't For The Gay Community" Comments (7)

SafariScreenSnapz002It's shallow and gossipy but...her hands look amazing!

Madonna wasn't sure where to find the YouTube, so she did her "It Gets Better" with The Ellen DeGeneres Show—works for me! It was almost too much to wish for that her entire appearance today would be a big wet kiss to the gay community, and she looks as fantastic as the content is. (I love the Truth or Dare-era makeup paired with the Ray of Light hair.)

Video and text excerpts from her chat after the jump...

Oral Report Comments (4)

Via Joe.My.God.: Randy Roberts Potts, the out gay grandson of the late televangelist Oral Roberts, offers his "It Gets Better" video in the form of a poem and a long letter to his late uncle, Ronnie Roberts. Ronnie committed suicide in 1982, but not before coming out as gay to his family (including Oral) and friends.

It's epic...and I especially like that he lashes out at suicide as an option...

After the jump, an inspiring video of a group of young Broadway performers singing the newly-penned song "It Gets Better" in response to the rash of gay suicides of late. It's not treacle and it works! Have a look and listen...

Hot On Hillary's Heels Comments (5)

President Obama has released his own "It Gets Better" video. It pulls no punches (for example, it's explicitly directed at gay kids). I'm sure fault will be found, but I'm happy he did this—words do have meaning, and having the president making an address on this subject is nothing but good. After the jump...

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait (But Only Because Those Who Don't Did All The Work) Comments (8)

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton contributes her version of an "It Gets Better" called "Tomorrow Will Be Better" (or "Hang in There," as she says within). I like it very much.

I'm not sure why her video would be more welcome than a White House post by the Obama Administration, whose video was roundly derided by Dan Savage and on the gay blogs. I guess Obama's critics would like to believe she is a rogue element within his organization, or that she'd have handled DADT differently even though her husband signed off on it back in the day. And maybe she would have. But the point is: She made this sincere video. So it really does get better—and the Clintons get better, too.
