Elizabeth Warren Films 'It Gets Better' Video
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has released an "It Gets Better" video, drawing upon her experience as a schoolteacher to reassure LGBT youth who may be getting bullied that their lives will improve when they get older.
"I'm Elizabeth Warren, and you may be wondering what I have to say to you," she says in the video, which debuted on Wednesday. "After all, I haven't lived your life. But when I graduated from college, I was a schoolteacher, and I watched what happens in hallways, on sidewalks, out in the schoolyard. I watched kids who pushed, who bullied. I saw how much pain some kids could inflict on other kids."
Warren tells struggling young people who may need help to call the Trevor Project, a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBT youth.
"Because here's what you'll find," she says. "There are a lot of different people out there in this world, and a lot of people who celebrate those differences. That's what makes us strong. That's what makes us exciting. So, hang in there. It gets better."

(2,261 posts)I tend to doubt it.
Doubt he would want to blow away 1/2 of his bigoted supporters.
But maybe he's about to release one tomorrow... in a Romnyesque fashion, (referring to when Romney supported gay folks in Mass, running against Kennedy in 1994).
Thinking a little more on this, I think Scotty Brown only shows up on TV after floods and tornadoes and other disasters.
