Voiceover

High school was bad. I was obviously gay. Some kids didn't like that and I did get harassed. 
What I'd love you to take away from it is that however bad it is now, it gets better, and it can get great. 
 
And it's important for adults to reach out to kids and share our stories to they can picture futures for themselves that are worth sticking around for. 
 
Okay little ones, here's the first things you need to know. 
 
You are perfect and wonderful exactly as you are. 
 
You're not alone. 
 
There are tons of us out here in this world. 
 
We love you without even knowing you. 
 
There is art to be made and there are songs to be sung. 
 
So hold on. 
 
Look at me. 80 years old, it gets better with age. 
 
Listen to me. 
 
It gets better. It gets better. It gets better. It does get better. So much better. You'll be fine partner.  
 
Life can be amazing, but you have to tough this period of it out, and you have to live.
