SACRAMENTO, CA - The recent rash of suicides among gay youth prompted by bullying has the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community fighting back.
In Sacramento, Equality Action Now, a LGBT civil rights organization, is participating in the online campaign, "It Gets Better."
"When you come out and get through your difficulties you suddenly find yourself surrounded by people that want you in their lives," says Tina Reynolds, co-founder of Equality Action Now. "It gets so much better."
The goal of the campaign is to ensure LGBT youth that whatever pain their experiencing because of their sexual orientation, whether it's bullying online, at school or trouble at home, it does get better.
