NPR's Ira Glass introduces Dan Savage, as he is honored with a Special Achievement Award for his work on the It Gets Better campaign.

Raw language warning from NPR.

"On Monday night at the Webbys, in addition to accepting an award for our iPhone app, Ira Glass presented Dan Savage with the Special Achievement Award for his work on "It Gets Better," a video campaign that Dan started in response to the suicides of bullied gay teens."

GREAT VIDEO, ANYWAY!!!!!!

1. Thanks for posting. Dan has done more than most activists I know.

He's smart, pissed off for all the right reasons, and isn't shy about trying to get something done. I've had encounters with him in years past through his writing and Seattle connections, and have enjoyed every (and some were pretty damned goofy) one of them.

And to ALL the Tracy Morgans in the world...

3. Really great, yes...........and the subliminal message to people who ..

know Google, know what he i referring to, know how to spot a con artist running for President.

Newt Gingrich: move over, a Santorum storm will soon come your way.

All of America, wake up, not a single Rpublican Candidate can deal with the office of the Presidency
