Google and Facebook Join ‘It Gets Better’ Campaign

Update: LinkedIn did a similar video too. Kudos. Catch it below.

It Gets Better is a project aimed to help LGBT youths to overcome bullying and find happiness. Often, closed-minded guardians wouldn’t allow LGBT adults to talk to their children. So, to communicate with LGBT youths that life does get better, this project uses videos to spread the message, hoping to bypass closed-minded gatekeepers.

Spreading this message across the globe is a challenging task. The project needs help from celebrities or giant corporations. Google and Facebook stepped in.

Both tech giants openly filmed and featured employees who are under the LGBT category as they share their personal stories and tips on how to overcome external pressure. Although the rivalry between Google and Facebook is strong and brewing, it’s pretty comforting to witness similar efforts to making this project a success.
