Dan Savage is amazing. Among other things, he founded the It Gets Better Project, which I have donated to, and I encourage everyone to as well.
The ad itself, which plays at the beginning of his talk, is an amazing piece of work, and part of a great campaign by Google (I’ll be writing about it for The Great and Secret Show). And as a side note, I totally have the gay android shirt the emcee is wearing. I’m a big nerd, yes I know.
Anyway, Dan is, as always, funny, engaging and eloquent. It’s very strange to see him choke up and get so close to breaking down so many times, I guess sometimes I take for granted where his passion must come from. It’s long (45 minutes), but worth it, please watch. And if you’re unfamiliar with the It Gets Better Project, he explains it fully, and even if you are, there’s a lot of new information in the beginning part of his talk:
All my best,
The King of Spades
