In the past couple weeks, I’ve been flooded with Dear Coke Talk submissions asking for my thoughts on the recent gay teen suicides and Dan Savage’s subsequent “It Gets Better” campaign, but I know better than to add to that discussion. It’s not my place to do so.

Dan has it covered. Brilliantly. As do class acts like Tim Gunn.

It would be tacky to wave around my opinions under the banner of “It Gets Better.” I’m not gonna be like Perez Hilton and Kesha who manage to somehow accidentally-on-purpose make it all about themselves.

Instead, I’ll just leave this video here.

It is without a doubt the most potent and profound example of an “It Gets Better” speech that I think we will ever see, and given its context as a Fort Worth City Council meeting, it fills me with a special kind of hope for this country.

Watch it all. See if you don’t cry.
