Mount Holyoke Lyon's Pride is assembling video footage toward a submission to Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" video project. An excerpt from the It Gets Better Project website: "Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can't imagine a future for themselves. So let's show them what our lives are like, let's show them what the future may hold in store for them." Click the link in the previous sentence to view videos other people have made for the project.

We would like for you to get out your camera and tape yourself for a minute or two, saying what you'd like young queer people to hear about what it's really like after high school. Give your best advice, your best insights, your heartfelt thoughts. Then take that video and email it to our Lyon's Pride vice-president, Shannon Weber at shannon_weber@umail.ucsb.edu who will then compile it with other submissions to make a YouTube video that will be submitted to It Gets Better. If you have any technical questions about making a video, please contact Shannon about it.

Deadline for the project is March 15. Feel free to collaborate with other Lyon's Pride members to make a video if you'd like! We can't wait to see what you all create!
