EPA posts “It Gets Better” video, reaching out to LGBT youth
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is now taking part in the "It Gets Better" project which supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth. Founded by Dan Savage and his partner Terry Miller - a Shadle Park High School grad, represent! - in response to suicides of gay teens due to bullying and discrimination. During the first week of the project, over 200 videos were uploaded to YouTube in the first week of the initiative - and now "It Gets Better" has over 30,000.
The video features testimonial from EPA staffers who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and its introduced by outgoing EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.
