🎁☃️ Synthagoddess is here with some tips for surviving uncomfortable holiday situations when you’re queer! 1. Have a plan for uncomfortable situations - have a phrase, take a “phone call,” go for a walk, or make a plan with an ally to remove yourself from uncomfortable topics. 2. Try to have your own celebration by yourself or with accepting friends (IRL or virtual) so you can honor the holidays in your own safe space. 3. Make time for self care when things get rough - journal, self reflect, listen to music, or make time for something you love doing. You’re always welcome to hang with us here and on Twitch! #itgetsbetter #holigay #lgbtqyouth #queeryouth #holiday created by It Gets Better with Gentle State’s Deck the Halls - Lofi

We love an ally who puts their words into ACTION! Elizabeth Taylor publicly supported the fight against HIV/AIDS in the 1980's, at a time when it was taboo for celebrities like her to align themselves with the cause. And she not only voiced her support and rallied others to join the fight - she also co-founded amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, and then went on to found The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, both of which still operate today. Famously, she said, "I resented my fame, until I realized I could use it." Shoutout to allies like Elizabeth who use their privilege to uplift causes close to our community. 💜 Thank you @Haley Robinson! @Elizabeth Taylor #itgetsbetter #elizabethtaylor #worldaidsday created by It Gets Better with Vagabeat’s Instrumental Hip Hop 90´s

Setup vs the shot from our queer youth portrait sesh! 📸 We brought our Youth Voices together from all across the country to meet each other in LA. We learned a lot about storytelling, activism, and spreading queer joy, AND got to have this shoot with @Maxwell Poth, who photographed queer youth around the U.S. for Project Contrast’s book Young Queer America. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸 #itgetsbetter #setupvstheshot #photoshoot #queeryouth created by It Gets Better with Catwalk Race’s Model Runway Music

Allosexual = someone who experiences physical sexual attraction. Aromantic = someone who does not experience romantic attraction. So if your allo/aro, that means you’d be potentially interested in physical secual relationships, but not romantic ones. And that doesn’t make you a bad person - it’s just another way to experience attraction! @SStwins #itgetsbetter #aro #aromantic #alloaro #lgbtq created by It Gets Better with Prod.

Let’s be clear: you never have to come out to anyone unless you want to, and feel safe and ready to do so. But as SynThaGoddess experienced, having the right people in our lives really makes it so much easier to be our authentic selves. 💙💜💗 #itgetsbetter #comingoutstory #bisexual #bipride #queercouple created by It Gets Better with It Gets Better’s original sound

🏳️‍⚧️ Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to honor and remember those in our trans community whose lives were cut short due to anti-trans violence. It’s a time to celebrate them, to remember our “trancestors” who lived authentically and fought for us to have the rights we have today, and to take time for our own trans joy so we can keep pushing for a safer, more loving world for all of us. Thank you @Eliza🦋Mariposx Healing for the beautiful message and altar tribute to our trancestors! #itgetsbetter #transdayofremembrance #tdor #transcestors #ofrenda created by It Gets Better with Shohei Yamaki’s Slow healing solo guitar(820043)

🏳️‍⚧️ Since it’s Trans Awareness Week, thought you should be ~aware~ that gender affirmation surgery is nothing new! Throughout the 20th century it was widely regarded as a “medical miracle” and lauded for its scientific advances. Like @ashton mentions, it’s SO important to remember the joy of those who came before us, like Alan Hart. #itgetsbetter #transawarenessweek #genderaffirmingcare #genderaffirmingsurgery #lgbtqhistory created by It Gets Better with Lofuu & Shiloh Dynasty & dprk’s love song (hesitations) (sped up)

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Awareness Week: what exactly does “awareness” mean to LGBTQ+ youth, who have been the pnes most impacted by anti-trans bills and school policy? For some it’s about action and education. For others, embracing power and community. And for more, it’s about supporting trans creators and everything we have to offer the world. ✨ Feat pur Youth Voices Akiko, Phi, and Eli! 🎥 by Eli #itgetsbetter #queeryouth #transkids #transawarenessweek created by It Gets Better with Official Sound Studio’s Walker

What queer youth want you to do during Trans Awareness Week! 🏳️‍⚧️ It’s easy to feel hopeless about so many anti-trans bills passing through our communities, but take it from our own Youth Voices Eris, Aidan, Ellie, and Jeremy - there IS action we can take, even if you arent old enough to vote yet! Start small - is your school passing anti-trans policies? Check to see if their board meetings are open to the public and take a stand! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🎥 by Youth Voice Eli #itgetsbetter #transawarenessweek #antitransbill #queeryouth #transkids created by It Gets Better with musabeats’s Lofi / Chillout / Hiphop(936646)

🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇷 Justin Santiago made history in Puerto Rico as the first trans man to legally be able to change his gender identity on his official documents, like his birth certificate. Now he is a staunch advocate against the practice of conversion therapy, because he doesn’t want any child to go through what he did when he was young.

Asexual lonliness! In a world where so much of our mainstream media focuses on romance and sexual attraction/desire, things can feel a bit lonely for us aro/ace folks. What can help, though, is seeking out media that highlights asexual characters, and surrounding yourself with ace community (even if it’s just online).

Dysphoria + disability! There are so many variations within our bodies and physical selves, and so much variation among physical disabilities, that gender and body dysphoria can present itself in lots of different ways - but as @Mateo put it, there is also lots to take pride in when it comes to being both queer AND disabled. 💜 #itgetsbetter #queeranddisabled #disabilitytiktok #wheelchair #dysphoria created by It Gets Better with Tollan Kim’s Aesthetic

Synthagoddess is back with some tips for how to handle things when you want to use a new set of pronouns! Know that you’re valid. Understand you deserve respect. Make it a big announcement, or maybe just a little text. And make sure you’re sharing ar your own pace - not everyone in tour life needs to know all at once if you’re not comfortable with that. #itgetsbetter #pronouns #pronounsmatter #pronounscheck️ created by It Gets Better with pedrin cria’s Instrumental - Vibe

🎃👻 More proof that October is for the gays (if LGBTQ+ History Month, Ace Week, Intersex Awareness Day, and National Coming Out Day weren’t enough already). In the past, and especially during the days of the Hays Code, we had to get creative - drag balls in big cities were sometimes hosted on Halloween and New Years because they were an excuse for everrybody to dress up “in costume” without evading any laws!

It Gets Better is the FIRST channel on Youtube?! Well, sort of. Our channel is dated to 2004, but Youtube didn’t even launch until 2005. So how’d we do it?

What happened when we brought queer youth together from around the world was nothing short of MAGICAL! ✨🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 These are some of our amazing Youth Voices, LGBTQ+ people aged 13-18 from across the US who are already amazing activists, advocates, artists, writers, speakers, musicians, and more (and yes, we open applications for a new class every year, so this could be you next round)! 👀 We learned, discussed queer identities and issues, and got to take some time for queer joy.
