"IT GETS BETTER" PSA

MARLEO:

There are going to be individuals that we encounter in our lives that will predetermine the type of people that we are and immediately classify us has “just being gay”. It’s our job, by simply working together, with others who are different to showcase our true nature, our true talents, and our true characters to an ever growing realistic ignorance. Not one person on this planet has power over us and we should never allow any individual to make us think that we are nothing more than silly little gays…

CHAD:

We have embraced every walk of life… we are writers, we are artist, we are lawyers and businessmen, entrepreneurs and Average Joes. We span across the cultural and ethnic spectrums of humanity, and we have made strong strides in social accomplishments throughout our very own histories. We are those that dare to be different, we are those that dare to walk on a different side of life, and we are those that tend to be the bravest of the brave. Bravery of course, is an essential ingredient to the lifestyle that we live; and there are periods in our very own lives that bravery might be the only thing we have to hold on too.

MARLEO:

It’s clearly not a choice to be who we are… rather we are chosen to be everything that we are and it’s our duty to strive to be the best people with what we are given in life. We learn to become the best individuals by the experiences that we encounter through the course of our lives. It’s these experiences that teach us to grow and in return, it’s our responsibly to experience as much as possible throughout life. Dwell in the moment, cherish the experiences, both good and bad because these are the things that teach us to be the best of what we are. We sometimes might ask why it’s so important that we hold tightly to the things that we cherish and the experiences that we explore.

CHAD:

The answer to this is because those are the things that define us in our finest moments. There are going to be a large amount of dark days in each of our lives and it’s those enlightened moments that guide us through the impending darkness. I’ve come to a point in my own life to appreciate those days because they give more value to the days that are simply… well... good.

MARLEO:

So when you feel down and out… when you feel that you might not have any options

CHAD:

Just remember these three simple words…

MARLEO:

It gets better…

CHAD:

It gets better…
