Oregon Senator Ron Wyden and 12 other U.S Senators have teamed up to encourage lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people not to give up, reassuring them in a video released Wednesday that they are working hard in the Senate to fulfill the promise of equality for all.

The video is part of the It Gets Better Project (http://itgetsbetter.org), which was founded last year after a series of tragic suicides by LGBT youth who were bullied because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The inspiring It Gets Better Project is determined to help LGBT youth see a positive future beyond what is often a difficult adolescence.

  • Made me cry, I'm British but it's great to see American political figures come out to support the LGBT community, particularly in a week that has seen the President avoid supporting equality. I could hug you all.
