E CONCHIS OMNIA

Because I won’t stop criticizing “It Gets Better” until Dan Savage and everyone who perpetuates his toxic bullshit is dead:

It’s laughable that the “It Gets Better” idea forces the burden and responsibility of survival onto queer kids who are under attack. “Just wait it out! If you are strong enough to survive high school without killing yourself, you’ll be free and your life will magically become instantly perfect! And if you don’t make it, well shit…I guess we will just have to keep making these shitty videos!” Never mind shifting responsibility for the safety and well-being of queer kids onto white, heterosexual, cisgender kids, parents, institutions and society at large. It’s up to YOU to not die! It’s not up to institutions you have no choice but to be a part of to stop fostering an environment which systematically breeds, favors and rewards the kind of people who want to see you dead, and even kill you! I MEAN IT’S ONLY FOUR YEARS, YOU CAN MAKE IT, I GUESS.

    I honestly hadn’t thought of it that way. I saw it more as a way to support those going through a hard time but… You...

    I don’t think that the “It Gets Better” project is denying that responsibility also lies in the hands of the attackers...

    I partially agree with this. I was severely bullied in school and a lot of it was homophobic due to my geeky tomboy...

    i think it can be empowering to hear stories from older queers when you are young but the way this campaign is treated...
