-- From "Senators reach out to gay youth" by Seung Min Kim, Politico 6/29/11
Thirteen Democratic senators released a video Wednesday morning as part of the online “It Gets Better” video campaign, encouraging gay and lesbian youths and highlighting Democrats’ political support for the gay community, like the repeal last year of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
The campaign is part of the nationwide “It Gets Better” campaign, launched by syndicated columnist Dan Savage [see video interview below] last fall following news of suicides of gay teenagers. Other political figures including President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi have filmed their own videos, as well as celebrities like Joe Jonas, Kesha and Ellen DeGeneres.
The senators’ video, which opens with soft guitar strums and an interior shot of the Capitol, is called “A Message of Hope from the United States Senate.”

The senators, led by freshman Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), unveiled their video at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at a Capitol news conference. The nearly five-minute-long video is set to upbeat music and features black-and-white clips of each senator shot individually over the past month.
The 13 senators featured in the video are Coons and Sens. Mark Udall (Colo.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Al Franken (Minn.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.).
All 13 are among the 25 co-sponsors of the Respect for Marriage Act, which was introduced by Feinstein in March and which would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.

From "Wyden, 12 Colleagues to LGBT Youth: 'It Gets Better'" posted at KTVZ.COM (central Oregon) 6/29/11
More than 20,000 LGBT adults have produced videos around the “it gets better” message — a collection that has formed the heart of a global movement of support. President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs, as well as the employees of a host of major companies including Apple, Facebook, and Google, have contributed heartfelt videos to the project.
“‘It Gets Better’ is more than a message,” Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) said. “It’s a movement. It Gets Better is telling a whole generation of LGBT youth that they are not wrong just for being who they are and that they should not give up.”
"Martin LutherKing, Jr. said the arc of history is long, but it bends in the direction of justice. Last week, my home state of New York took a giant leap in that direction by extending the freedom to marry to all New Yorkers," Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.
