NJ Politicians Remind LGBT Teens: It Gets Better

Both Democrats and Republicans contribute a video to the popular site.

New Jersey Republicans and Democrats recently contributed an "It Gets Better" video, a worldwide movement reminding LGBT teenagers they are not alone.

The It Gets Better Project was founded last year by author and journalist Dan Savage and his husband Terry Miller, in response to teen bullying, harassment and, in some cases, suicides.

More than 25,000 videos have been submitted to the website by celebrities, organizations, activists, and now, New Jersey legislators.
