Advice columnist Dan Savage has created a Youtube Channel.




I was bullied in school. I won't presume to know what gay teens have to go through as it was probably a thousand times worse than what I went through. Having to hide from everyone who you truly are, or having the courage to come out only to be told that you're unnatural and will surely go to hell. I can't imagine how someone would feel being told they're evil because of something they have no control over.

I can relate to those who think there is no hope. I felt lost and alone in high school, and being bullied didn't help matters. My parents saw the signs that I was heading down a dangerous path and gave me the love, support and help I needed to get through the hard times.

I hope this not only shows gay teens that there is light at the end of the tunnel but also leads to more acceptance in our society.
