    Why on earth would anyone dislike this video?!?!?! For once could we stop thinking about what political party we agree with and just be happy that important people see what is going on. When you dislike this video, how does that make you feel? Does it make you seem cool? Why, why would people say that their petty rivalry with the Democratic party is more important than the safety of the children of America! I am disappointed in you people.

    Why is everybody being so mean seriously this video is not about politics....we all just need to stand together to fight something that the government cant do alone so cut the politics crap and just help instead of yelling at him for talking about a subject that everybody wants to here about....you may not like the other things he does ok so but this is not the time this is about coming together to make a change not fight change....so make time for some love in your busy schedule of hate so we can make this place a better one to love in.

    I am a straight male, and when I saw the commercial for the itgetsbetterproject I cried. At 3:07 am, waking up from a nightmare, I cried for all of you. I know it may not mean anything to hear one person say it, but know that there is nothing wrong with you. NOTHING! I love each and every one of you, and if I have my way with the world, IT WILL GET BETTER. Better for not only homosexuals, but for each and every person who has ever been mistreated or judged for being different. Love you guys!

    And THIS is why Obama is one of the greatest Presidents we've ever had. He's kind, he's fair, and he knows when a need needs to be addressed, such as when people think they need to take their own life simply for being different. I only regret I wasn't old enough to cast my vote for him when I had the chance.

    I find it very heartening to hear the leader of America, the President, doing something like this and getting down away from Politics for a moment to give this message, forget why he may do it, it matters that he did. Especially for something so important.

Dear Americans, take your pick, who do *you* want as your leader: Some guy who participates in a project against bullying or someone who was a bully himself and (the latter being the point because everyone did dumb things when they're young) claims not to remember it at all and doesn't even bother *pretending* that he felt guilty and is sorry?

    I'm bisexual and bullied. But I stood up for myself and fought back. Not for myself, but for my brother.
    You may think people like me should die, but what if your brother or sister killed his or herself because of bullying? Think about it.
    If you are leaving hate comments and like Neil Patrick Harris, he is gay, should he die?
