Google debuted a video ad for the It
Gets Better Project during Tuesday's episode of the Fox
musical-comedy Glee.
The video ad touts the search giant's
browser Chrome, which is used as a vehicle to highlight videos
uploaded to gay activist Dan Savage's It Gets Better website. The
campaign encourages LGBT teens to not cave in to bullies, because
life eventually gets better.
In the ad, Chrome buzzes around the
site picking and choosing videos to play.
“High school was bad,” Savage says
in one video. “I was obviously gay, and some kids didn't like
that. And I did get harassed.”
“What I'd love you to take away from
it is that however bad it is now, it gets better. And it can get
great.”
“And it's important for adults to
reach out to kids, and share our stories so that they can picture
futures for themselves that are worth sticking around for,” he
adds.
“There are a ton us out here in this
world,” rocker Adam Lambert says.
“It gets better,” Born This Way
singer Lady Gaga says.
“Your life can be amazing,” Savage
ads. “But you have to tough this period of it out. And you have
to live.” (The video is embedded in the right panel of this page.)
