I was revising the home page of queerattitude and I found a very interesting project. The developers of the website have taking an approach from "It Gets Better" and "Make it Better" projects to create their own work about awareness on harassment and discrimination that the GLBT community confronts.
"It Gets Better" an "Make it Better" are movements to support and create awareness about the GLBT community. Their websites are a collection of videos of people who have suffered harassment or bullying, and that are now sharing their experiences and giving insights to others that may be going through similar situations. Basically they share their stories, tell how they have overcome hard situations, and at last give others insights and support so that they know they are not the only ones and that they can also challenge any situation. These websites also offers resources and contacts to get help.
QueerAttitude is doing a space very similar on YouTube. They are inviting members to participate and share their stories. They did it last year and it was very successful. The members also express how helpful queeerattitude has been for them and how it has made a difference i their lives.
