The It Gets Even Better project is aimed to help provide lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, two spirited, intersexed, and questioning youth in the Chatham-Kent community with much-needed support and compassion. It doesn’t matter whether you’re straight or an LGBT individual, we want to hear your story and record your words of encouragement.
Submit your video and share your experience with the community.
Let’s work together to make sure that it DOES indeed get better.
