Acronym for "
It Gets Better" - a channel on YouTube where videos are posted for bullied gay and lesbian young people, encouraging them to hang on during their high school years because life gets better after that. Started by columnist
Dan Savage specifically as a suicide prevention resource, after publicity surrounding several
gay/lesbian young people who were lost to suicide in Autumn 2010.
I think
Obama's support of gay and
lesbians is genuine, not just
playing politics. He even made a video for IGB and he didn't need to do that.
