The It Gets Better series has carved its place into the meme-o-sphere for ages to come. Check out this amazing video by Rebecca Drysdale. It’s more than a little bit awesome.

Since I’ve already posted a Gay Place Crush of the Week, I can’t really do it again (cause that would be greedy), but she’s totally great and knocked this piece right out of the park, getting over 100,000 hits in days and being featured on It Gets Better founder Dan Savage‘s weekly podcast, Savage Lovecast.

I listened to the Savage Lovecast piece where he interviewed Rebecca; she noted that she had a huge community of performers (most of whom, in this case, were straight) come together to make this video happen. She’s got some cool things to say about that intersection of LGBT and allies as well as the whole experience.

Without further ado, an anthemic It Gets Better; It’s funny, frank, and will ear-worm itself right into your mind.
