Glee's Karofsky saved lives... For Real

I don't watch Glee, but this scene did something to me. It was a reminder that many teens are struggling everyday to keep going.

This scene was quite powerful, check it out

Th good side of my post is how this particular episode of Glee saved lives.

EW reports

 The episode of the Fox hit led to a record number of traffic for the organization’s website and phone number. “What was great about the show is that they worked in conjunction with us so we knew in advance that there was going to in all likelihood be an increase in volume,” says cofounder Peggy Rajski. “What happened was the volume went up about 300 percent, but we were ready.”

Rajski says the Trevor Project toll-free number fielded triple the number of calls normally received, plus a huge online boost. “On average, our site probably attracts about an average of 1500 visits a day,” she admits. “Tuesday we got 10,000. There’s the power of network TV.”

Wow!

Executive Director of The Trevor Project Resigned

Interesting and surprising news. Executive Director Charles Robbins resigned from the Trevor Project last week.

The reason is not known, but here's a letter from the board:

Dear Friends,

The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth announces Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Charles Robbins resigned his post April 8, 2011. The organization appreciates Charles' years of service and wishes him well in his future endeavors.

As the Board begins a national search for a replacement, Chair of the Board of Directors David McFarland has assumed the role of Executive Director on an interim basis. Board Vice Chair Ricky Strauss is the acting interim Chair of the Board. David has served in a national leadership capacity at a number of Fortune 100 corporations in the entertainment and financial management arenas, bringing extensive operational, creative and executive leadership experience to this interim role, along with experience as a Trevor Lifeline Counselor, Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the Board. We are excited to engage his leadership through this transition period.

The Trevor Project Board of Directors and staff will continue the organization's work to end suicide among LGBTQ youth by providing life-saving and life-affirming resources including our nationwide, 24/7 crisis intervention lifeline, digital community and advocacy/educational programs that create a safe, supportive and positive environment for everyone.

Janet Jackson Talks about the Bullying, Trevor Project on Larry King

Cheers to the "It Gets Better" Project and F**K You, Lot Project!

Dan Savage (love him or hate him) started a great project called, It Gets Better. The overall goal is to help young LGBT kids understand that life gets better after high school.
See Here:


Well, so far it's working. Many gays have made their videos and submit them to IGB Youtube page. But you know haters are going to hate.

This asshole had to take it there and bring some unnecessary mess to this great idea.
Please watch this hateful vlog.

"Billy Lucus, who hanged himself, obviously because he was gay, and unable to endure the guilt that the words of others prompted in him. This was indeed a tragedy, but not anywhere near the tragedy that Billy will discover in eternity when he faces the wrath of God upon rebellious and unrepentant sinners. Then, he will realize that his sin could not be atoned for by his own death, and he will realize that people like Dan Savage who encourage sin are deceivers. He will see them for what they are, the blind leading the blind. And he will realize that he has fallen into that ditch that the blind leading the blind inevitably fall into: that's eternal destruction and misery. Sadly, it's too late for Billy. For those who are viewing this video, however, their remains the opportunity of turning from sin to the obedience of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ."

You hateful son of a jackal! How dare you! How dare you!

Whoever this cretin is also a part of this website called The Lot Project, based in Arizona (no surprise). If you like, leave this coward a message. He is an evil person to wish damnation on Billy! And the kicker is, he has the nerve to use God justify his reasons.

You are a hateful Son of a Bitch!!
