Honestly, I dont give a fuck if you are gay, bi, lesbian, if you serve my country, and have a potential of dying for my freedoms, YOU ARE ALWAYS A WINNER IN MY BOOK. Sacrificing your life has nothing to do with who you are, its a commitment to being the best you can be and having OTHER people in mind besides yourself. MAJOR RESPECT to anyone that has served to protect my country.
Thank you for your service to our country and for your service for our youth in particular. These are the messages that quite literally save and improve lives!
Great job! Thanks so much for creating this. The VA is here to support all armed forces members after your service in the military. Thank you for your service!!!
Thank you from my heart for making this message that It Gets Better for our teens struggling with being bullied. As well as for your dedicated service to our country. God Bless, Be Safe and Come Home Soon.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love our military more than I did before I watched this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all our brave servicemembers. And remember, if you need us, Soldiers' Angels is here for YOU!
Thank you for your service, ladies and gentlement. That's what matters. I don't give a damn who you love, except I thank you for loving us enough to serve. Thank you!
as the daughter and sister of Army soldiers, it warms my heart to see things like this from soldiers like you. thank you for uploading this for everyone to see. :)
I cant wait till my marine gets back, so glad DADT was repealed. I dont understand why people ever have to care about another persons life if it does not even come anywhere close to affecting them.
Thank each of you for taking the time to record and upload this, no doubt it will help someone and if it were only one it'd be well worth it... but I'm betting it's going to impact many more than one in a positive manner.
Copied from my Facebook page: And now for our daily dose of equity... we turn to the amazing service folks from Afganistan... Protecting, serving, and doing really important work our country... Not just the war in Afganistan--but also the war against lgbt youth suicide. I would say to these brave wonderful people--it gets better because people like you help make it better! Thank you for ALL of your service! :) How can we support YOU from here?
This is Brilliant, i would like to play this tonight on our talk show "the tommy franklin show" airs 7-9 pm u.s. central time. i'll have to mute the music. but other than that I love the positive message. Tommy Franklin and Producer are committed to peace, love, unity, respect for all genders, races, and orientations.
The necessity of confronting the reality of African-American soldiers, men and women who were willing to fight and die for our country, was arguably one of the most persuasive influences in moving our country forward. Discrimination (and the dehumanization which it takes as its justification) is much more difficult when confronted with the dignity and humanity of its proposed objects. So I wonder how much of an impact videos like this will have on our thinking in years to come.
Arguably, there is no RATIONAL argument that says being gay/straight/nerdy/trans/whatever is wrong and/or disgusting. I like the message - you are who you are. Be comfortable in that and move on.
@nathanieldurkin1 I directly said in the video "it doesn't matter if you're gay, STRAIGHT, bisexual, transgender, genderqueer or whatever." It targets gay teens because parents, teachers, and peers all make gay kids feel like they shouldn't be that way. I know it's tough to be picked on by anyone in school, but it's way worse for the gay kids. There's no national movement saying that being a nerd is disgusting and wrong.
@DerekWilliamsMusic Anything with a high prison sentence or death penalty must be internationally addressed. If a gay person is in a country with anti-gay laws, they'll be sent back to their own country before they can be legally put into prison or put to death.
@DerekWilliamsMusic We're on an American Military Base, which is almost like being on American soil. Plus, I doubt Americans would allow it's servicemembers to be arrested and sentenced to death for being gay.
@joerenzullo I hope that someday there will come a time when people are embarrassed by these videos. "What, they had to make a video about gay people's lives getting better? Why did they need to do that? Because gay teens were bullied in school? What kind of idiots would do something like that? That's so mean! It's not like gay kids are different from anyone else!"
@cmfluteguy We're not told to hate and kill locals. We're told to fight the war on terror. We don't willy nilly kill just anyone. We kill terrorists. People that are making bombs and terrorizing the local population as well as plotting to terrorize the rest of the world. We don't HATE anyone. That's just ignorant. But you're welcome, because of my fighting brothers and sisters, you GET TO BE IGNORANT. You're welcome. SSgt Meghan Duprey

Erin are you trying to fool somebody? lol 17 "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is [h]eliminated? 18 But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, [i]fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders."

The truth is that homosexuality and gay marriage are wrong. God is the authority. Such has been previously acknowledged, by law, that we are a nation which “Trusts In God”. A just and pure God cannot and will not let “wrong (homosexuality)” go on forever, especially when a nation condones wrong. People make their own choices, but also know that God is not mocked. Please read it for yourself, and follow what is truly right, and don’t be deceived into believing what is wrong…Romans 1:26-27; 1 COR 6:9-11; Leviticus 18:22.
Dude, homosexuality was been around for literally thousands of years, pre-dating your silly book of fiction. If "God" didn't want them around, I'm sure he'd have done something about it by now. You are a fool.
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
"It gets better" is clearly underlined FROM THE START to be for LGBT kids and teens. The world DOES get better, a long with the people. Gay people sexually harass you, and where are your rights? If you don't know your rights on how to handle sexual harassment that's your problem. Don't come trying to rip other peoples' heads off, because you're ignorant to the legal system.

BRAVO!!!

This video definitely bring some variation in the 'It gets better project" :)
Great job!
Thank you for everything you guys do!

Great video guys. I hope you get home soon.
As long as you have a good work ethic and you can do what you're told to without complaining about it, then you'll be accepted.
@armybabygurl Thank you for your service!
Thanks for making this, it's awesome! :-)
thank you for your opinion!
thumbs up

@IauthenticI I know! Isn't it wonderful!
Great Video. Why didn't you guys shade in the letters on the piece of a cardboard? Kidding! This needs to get viral.
Gotta love military men. :)

Accept those who are different...because one of them had a gun, bro.
@AggieJAG I tried, but since I used a song it won't let me make it available
Please make the video available on mobile devices.
youtube brought me here :)

Looks like that was taken from the top of the cigar club/smoke shack place...
I miss that shack. Also too much saluting on disney lane...
@mandolore100 I can't. Since it has a copywritten song in it, they took away my ability to allow that.
please make it avaliable on mobile
so this is what pogs do in afghanistan
Says "the content owner has not made this available on mobile" so I can't watch it.
i want to join the military but im scared. I cant imagine anyone would accept me
what?! :) it will! learn something good and move to work to any place you like! ;)
yet the situation in America just gets worse
I am proud to be a lesbian veteran...I hope I can get back in and if I can't I wanna help spread the word.
2:06 random guy in a yellow shirt?

The military won't be getting better that's for sure

God created me the way I am, as well as many others.Why did you choose to be straight?

From a gay Marine - oorah!
Get out of the military so the rest of the world can get better.

@JCpatriots Go back to school. You are in dire need of an education.
@Yankeegator why? cause a bunch of gay people did a youtube vid?...get a grip
I said a rational argument, your homophobia and/or bible bashing rhetoric do not qualify as rational.
Stay safe!
