I can't wait for the day that Disney Channel makes a show with gay characters whether they are the parents or the kids!!!!!
Wow, i didn't know Disney had a pride group! Even more reasons to like Disney^^,
Disney's really super into accepting and supporting everyone. Makes me love them even more.
This may be the one redeeming thing Disney has ever done
4:36 "It's like if you're a Dodger fan and you walk into Dodger Stadium after you've lived in Boston all your life and you go 'Oh my god there's thousands of us It's ok I can wear blue and not be afraid.' It's like finally finding people that speak your language."
It makes me so happy to see Disney and Trevor project working together to talk honestly about a serious subject ❤️
Bravo to all involved with this!!! It gives me the chills watching this. Another hetro here, supporting love regardless of where it comes from.
I love Disney, I love being gay, and I love my life.
You see this, this is what I'm talking about, society always pushes away suicide when the other kids are actually murdering someone, even if they didn't do it themselves, they still have blood on their hands and they don't even care, which I think is the most evil thing someone can do, it makes me sad to see so many people take their lives because they don't fit in, trust me it gets better, there is always people who will be there for you, even if you can't see it.
That last sentence nearly made me cry.
IT GETS BETTER I PROMISE ♥♥♥
Essential message. I'm so proud of Disney!
When you wish upon a star...
Makes no difference who you are...
Disney just makes life better all around anyway! :) always makes me smile!
I forget how beautiful and powerful this video is. Ever since the first time I saw this the night I was thinking of taking my life it has changed me and my outlook on life. It showed me to have hope & to hold on because it will get better. Thank you for doing this 💜
I know it's a year later but I still am so happy for you ❤️
thanks iHATEeverything it means a lot
Disney, im proud of u!
It's awesome disney does this, I hope they will do a movie with a gay protagonist sometime, represemtation matters a lot, too.
"Every life is a story. We all get to write our own life story. But no life is a one-person show. You need to surround yourself with people who love you for who you are and encourage you to share with the world the unique gifts that you have to share." Gosh darnit, I love you all, Disney.
Look at that perfect Disney tear brewing at 5:51. Megan, i'm proud of your gurlll! Not only because you reflect true Disney STARDOM but because you have been inspirational and reflected true Disney bravery. That tear is DISNEY.
Thank your for making this
I cried so much watching this video.
Due to the 1 Million Mom's, going after Disney for their Gay Day (2014 will be year 23), I found this video. In Canada, we have one similar. It does get better. Give it time. Thanks for sharing.
Good job Disney!!
👫👬👭
This for me is a blessing! My son is has been bullied daily for being different..I am so thrilled to see this and for all those adults to share their story! Right now high school is hard for him! I as a mother can not change the world, I can love and try to educate. THANK WALT DISNEY for being strong enough to make a difference! Thank you each and everyone for sharing! This gives me hope!! God Bless you all!
Thanks Disney for making everyone, not just kids feel like they're not alone and proud to be who they are
Working for Disney was the first and ONLY time, to this day, I felt COMPLETE acceptance. There's nothing harder to endure than feeling the need to hide something you naturally are. To finally find an environment that celebrates what makes you unique versus pressuring you to hide it, was GOLD and I will always cherish the confidence the House of Mouse gave me. ♥
Still waiting on my gay prince movie... 👬

The day I got hired to sing at Disney World was the happiest day of my life. I spent a wonderful year singing at WDW. At the end of my yearlong contract, I was told I wouldn't get renewed.The reason was supposedly my singing. In the entire year I never got a note about my singing. I truly believe, I my contract wasn't renewed because the leaders of my singing group assumed I was gay. No one asked. It's now 26 years later, and I still grieve for this job. I'm glad Disney Pride is working on it.
I have never been so proud to call myself a Cast Member right now. I love Disney's support and love all people.
Loved this.
Guys, it doesn't matter about who this is coming from, it's the message that they convey. Bless the people who came up with this campaign. It's so uplifting and amazing.
Life is hard for everyone but stand up or would you stand and laugh! MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Who is with me? Make a difference
we need more people like this. And David's eye's are beautiful.
Thank you so much Disney for helping teens like me out there who are different. There is a reason we love Disney and that is that is an escape to childhood . I am visiting the park soon to hopefully leave the world and go to a safe haven of happiness and no stress. Again Disney, I'm touched by the cast members words and it helps people see that it does get better. Have a magical day everyone.
I hope someday the world will change and gay people will be seen as normal. It's so sad to hear what horrible things these people gone through. I wish all single gays/transgenders and so on the best! Stay strong!
Excuse my terrible english ^^
I'm a 20 year old lesbian and have been with my Gf for 5 years. I'm a Disney kid, I grew up with Disney and so will my kids. I'm so proud of Disney. It really does get better.
My sister and I are sitting here going "i'm not going to cry"......"oh, god, im crying" THANK YOU.
Disney, you're doing everything right with this video.
All of my tears. Everywhere.
these videos are more aimed at society than actually troubled gay people.they typically say "it gets better because" because you grow up and realize that people are more tolerant than you thought and you're more comfortable with yourself, all that crap, and blah, blah. its like these people who went through it dont even understand it, that there are so many more problems and dynamics about being gay than getting bullied; being young and gay is lonely, isolating,
I feel so proud beeing a part of the Walt Disney Company... this video gave me goosebumps. I wish all Disney Cast Members in the entire world a happy and joyful christmas time!
I love that around 3:25 she mentioned being in the band and it making her feel welcomed :). Love my band family!!
Nobody should be pushed to the brink of suicide by those who cannot accept differences in others. Those of you who appeared in this video just may have saved the life of a young person who felt the same way you did at that age. Thank you for your courage. Happiness to you all.
Thank you Disney for making me proud to be a Cast Member, and also for standing up. It does get better!!
I was crying about your school stories,yes it gets better ,I hope fast.Thank you Disney for humanity!
the entire world population watches disney movies and enjoy it, and disney features have been a part of all of our lives for so many years, think of how significant it will be to make such a movie and effect so many lives....
i really look forward to watching a movie like this and showing it to my kids and having it on DVD.
love ya disney!
Lior.
I am so proud of TWDC for sponsoring this video, and grateful to the brave cast members who shared their stories. So well done...and very powerful.
I think this was such a great video that was done. WIth the immense amount of people present in the video everyone had a chance to share their story and what they went through. The diversity of this video... It's just astounding, it made me feel so proud to be part of a community of givers and people that want to help.
Breaks my heart to see how much these amazing individuals clearly still suffer from past events. I thank each and every one of them for speaking up !
Your strength, bravery and character makes each one of you beautiful. Disney, thank you for putting out this video and showing support for diversity.
I did the Walt Disney World college internship program before I came out and I am proud to say that the acceptance I found with my Disney Family lent me the courage to come out. Even though my biological family has never been supportive (I was disowned... twice) I am forever grateful for my time at Walt Disney World. IT DOES GET BETTER!
I know so many other people in the amazing spectrum of human identity who live normal, happy lives. If you are in a small town hold on, save up, keep listening to the folks who've been through it all and then move to a city. We love you. This world needs you. You matter and there is nothing wrong with you for who you love, there is something wrong with those who hate you for who you love. (Psst, you are totally welcome in Seattle too!)
I think these are beautiful, brave, caring, loving people & their message is not just for one group of people, but for everyone. Thank you Disney & The Trevor Project. And, thanks to you courageous people for sharing your experiences in this video. My hope is that many more people will hear & understand what was shared here.
I almost cry. This video made me remember all those bad days. I remember the bullying I went through, i though in suicide too, and for long time I asked myself why me. Now I see my present I thank to all that good people I met and made me realize that there's something what to live for!!! Now I know I am not alone, and It will be get better every time I am down!!!!. Merry Xmas to everyone.
This is fantastic! Thank you, Disney. No doubt this video will save a life and encourage countless bullied kids to hang in there.
This is beautiful and so life-affirming. Thank you all!
Thank you, Disney, for this touching and inspiring video. I was bullied all through Jr. High and High School because of a rumor another girl started about me just before she moved out of town (before I could beat her ass and make her tell the truth). You wouldn't think a rumor would change someone's life, but it did. No friends, no party invitations, rude and offense comments, fights, etc, resulted. I was a naive and innocent girl before then.
This makes me love Disney even more than I've used to my entire life, so so so freaking proud. This is just beautiful and I'm so grateful for everyone who did this and I'm also happy that they struggled their situations, as harsh as they might've been and that they are now sharing their experience and reaching out. I hope all the people in this video are now truly happy and glad with their lives :)
Disney teaches you to love your self of what you are and that being different and special it is no wrong, Inspires you to preserve your innocence. So there is no reason for the whole world to know what you are or how you feel. Just embrace what you are and be comfortable with it.
Dangit, no matter how many of these I watch I always get teary eyed. It truly does get better, and I know the fear of letting that first person know feels insurmountable, but don't underestimate your friends. Coming out was the greatest thing I ever did and once I told one it was almost fun telling everyone else!
this brough tears to my eyes. this is great. i have seen so many "it gets better" videos and stories but this, this video really stood out from so many others. not sure how not sure why. but it really does prove that it does get better.
This makes me so proud to have been part of this wonderful company!
I adore this movement so much, even if I already know it will get better, it's so good to hear it said from people like this. Sort of like hearing an "I love you" after a long, hard day. It just makes me happy. Especially from the company that I grew up loving and still love. I also adore how /all/ kinds of people join this message and tell us that it gets better.
It does make me proud to call myself a Cast Member. I am very happy to work for a company that not only respects but embraces Diversity in this magnitude.
So proud to have been a part of the WDW Company. (College Program MKCP - 1985) EPCOT Center
This video is so inspirational! Hang in there because anything you're going through now will pass, and it will always get better!
I'm so proud to work for Walt Disney World! Kudos to the Walt Disney Co. for taking a stand!!
When I was a Cast Member For The Walt Disney World Resort and The Walt Disney Travel Company, i Was a member of PRIDE. Thank you, George and to all the other Cast Members in creating "It Gets Better MAGIC" I also remember what PRIDE Means (People Respecting Individual Diversities in Everyone) and yes Disney does this as well.
So brave of these Cast Members to share their stories. Thank you!
It gets better, I have met so many people while working at the Disneyland Resort, that I probally would not have been able to meet.... Especially guest, I look at all these guest enjoying themselves and they always have a happy attitude. To be honest at one point in my life I thought everyone was a bully (because I was bullied so much) but thats not how it is... IT GETS BETTER THRU HOPE, MAGIC, AND WONDERFUL THOUGHTS! MUCH LOVE!
I'm so proud and grateful towards Disney for doing this. When Pixar released their beautiful video, I was curious as to whether the Disney gang would be brave enough to do the same
Thank you for your message
Thank you to each of you for your courage, stamina, and willingness to move forward with your lives even though they were difficult, at best. God bless each of you and thank you for sharing your stories with us.
With such people everything in the world will get better. Thank you.
What a great message!!
Makes me so happy to have worked there. I met a million wonderful people there, and a lot of them were gay, and I miss that environment so much. It's the sort of thing that breeds and treasures creativity, and Disney has always done that. Walt would be so proud.
Beautifully done. Fantastic video!
WOW!!!!! Outstanding post Disney. OUTSTANDING!!!!! Thank you so much for helping those in need. GREAT JOB!!!
awesome video. i've got tears in my eyes.
This is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
They can say what they want... hate all they want... but these so called 'haters' will still spend their money on Disney products, movies, tickets etc... they're probably be the firs to say that their first childhood memories was a Disney World... or their favorite movie was Toy Story. They still give Disney the power and money to continue growing the way it is.
absolutely beautiful!
Working at the Disneyland Resort had been the most liberating free time in my life in many ways, my short internship was the first time i was ever open about my sexuality to co-workers, that doesn't mean i told everyone, it means i didn't have to hide it. The family, the sheer quantity of fellow lgbt cast members and straight allies, never needed to say they supported you, you felt it, it was what i can imagine the rest of the world being like someday, where it's no. big. deal.
I just want to say THANK YOU Disney,and Cast Members for this wonderful video.
Right on Disney! Way to throw your hat in the ring in a positive, tolerant, progressive way. I knew I loved you guys for a reason.
and THAT's why i keep going back to disney, over and over and over again.
I wanna thank God there's the trevor project.and u all writing all these nice comments
This is very sweet and inspiring. Thanks for uploading!
I am not gay, and quite frankly, it doesn't matter. This video has SO many positive and inspiring things to say, not only about sexuality but about life in general. Major kudos to these Disney employees for putting themselves out there and sharing this amazing message with the world! It really does get better.
A+ Disney. Thank you for supporting such an important message.
Next time I go to Disneyland, I am thanking the people that were on this video. Truly, this made my day, so I wanna make theirs(:
darn it disney, why must you always make me cry? even in the course of 8 minutes
I teared up watching this... God I love Disney.
I'm am in tears this video is amazing
It does get better! My high school here in Brazil was a complete nightmare. But as soon as I got to university, everything felt like a dream come true. Things are not perfect yet. My dad kicked me out when I came out and he still does not talk to me, things are harder now, but I am sure it will only get better. Beautiful video. I cried my eyes out :}
Bravo, Disney! This is one of the reasons I am so proud to be a fan and stockholder. I experienced the same bullying as a teenager and thought several times about suicide but found the strength to overcome it. It is sad that gay teens feel like their is no hope and suicide is the only way out. We are all connected and they need to know its OK. It does get better and they love you receive once you know that is not worth giving up. Bullying has to stop.
One Direction is not the only direction you have to go on. Works on so many levels.
You know guys, this isn't just about your sexuality--these could be about anything that gives you a hard time (friendships, relationships, weird, sexuality, refusal, etc.) But, you got to remember that things will and can get better and you'll better because you realized that being different is what makes you who you are. It could take a short or long time but you should always remember that through the rain and storms, there's a rainbow and sunshine (or whatever is your fantasy.) It gets better
im proud to be a Disney cast member and serve a company that serves me and the values of others
This is why I choose Disney as my subject for the Diversity Means project I did. And why my life goal is be a part of the Disney Animation Corp. Disney is what kept me from committing suicide last year and this year, so I'm so thankful to have it in my life, even If I do get odd looks from my fellow High School students.
Feel tearful watching this!
BEAUTIFUL!
i really needed this right now
