to homosexuality? Has coming out to classmates become easier

openly gay rapper, finds out why in this Channel 4 documentary..
'It
Gets Better Project' - started by American
writer Dan Savage. The internet project was set up after the
much-publicised suicides of gay teenagers Tyler Clementi and
Billy Lucas - amongst others - who took their lives after being
relentlessly bullied for being gay. This campaign has now touched
a global audience of over 1.6 million, with thousands of people
posting videos on its YouTube
channel, offering positive messages of hope for other gay
teens in similar situations.
