1. K&R.

Kudos.

[Fearless]

2. Holy fuck, you go Joe!

...And Mr. President... we're still waiting on DOMA, DADT and an ENDA. And we're very impatient.

4. This brought tears to my eyes - he SO cares. I think if it were up to Joe, DOMA, et

al, would be fini and kaput. Although honestly I'm not sure what his position on DOMA is, but I do know he's passionate about human rights.

[gateley]

3. I love this man. Even reading a prepared statement his passion comes through - and

you can tell how much he cares and how much it pains him that so many people are hurting.

5. God Love Ya, Joe.

6. Good for you Joe!

I hope this helps those who are suffering at the hands of bullies.

7. So does Joe still believe marriage is "one man, one woman"?

I believe he stated this bigoted belief during one of his VP debates. Still feel that way Joe? If so, YOU are part of the problem. Change your stance in a very public way, then I'll believe what you have to say in an "It Gets Better" video.

8. K&R I was touched by his genuine empathy

9. These messages of support to those who are bullied are great. VP Biden should do

more addresses good stuff! A Michelle Obama one would be even more great, when folks ar bullied support like this means the world.

10. The LBGT communities are not the only ones being bullied. Too many kids

who travel to the beat of a differnt drummer or who are handicapped in any noticiable way, or even just because some one person started some gossip or just was regularly mean to a kid are victims of bullies and bullying behavior.

Once a person is made to be the "outsider" s/he will be ignored or teased and bullied by most kids. Some of those ignoring or bullying go with the crowd because they are afraid of being a victim of bullying; they are afraid to be different.

12. A huge K&R for that. Unlike a number of the PSA's I've seen on the topic, his seems quite a bit...

...deeper, more genuine than most.

And for that, too, I am grateful.
