Gabrielle Rivera, a Latina, lesbian poet in the Bronx, did a wonderful video. She watched the first videos and she got angrier and angrier about straight parents who were doing the bullying. She made this video where she said, “It doesn’t get better. What happens is you get stronger.” And I loved that I idea. I love the way she put it. It’s the Latina, lesbian Bronx way of saying it gets better.
Dan Savage, in an interview with Mother Jones (available here)
Does that last bit seem weird to anyone else? Like, “here, let me translate this for you”? She flat out said it doesn’t get better, which honestly it doesn’t for everyone o_O.

Grew up in MD now living and studying in the Boston area. I like the color purple, arguing, feminism, science, long emotional conversations with people from the internet, mangos, cute animals, and being a 'cranky minority,' among many other things. I have a love/hate relationship with school and the internet, which are two things that take up a lot of my time.
