Project Runway’s Tim Gunn has recorded a message for the Trevor Project’s "It Gets Better" video series to create a public service video talking directly to GLBT youth who might be contemplating suicide.
The video project includes public service announcements from GLBT and straight celebrities such as columnist Dan Savage, actors Chris Colfer and Ian Somerhalder, blogger Perez Hilton, and others. The videos aim to counter GLBT youth suicides, such as the rash of bullied gay teens who have taken their own lives in recent weeks.
"I have a very important message for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth," Gunn says in the two minute and twelve second long video, "and that is: it gets better. It really does."
Gunn goes on to say that he understands "the desperation" of gay youths from first-hand experience. "As a 17-year-old youth who was in quite a bit of despair, I attempted to kill myself," Gunn says in the video message. "And I’m very happy today that that attempt was unsuccessful, but at the time it’s all that I could contemplate.
