SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The San Francisco Giants have become the first professional sports team to join the "It Gets Better" campaign against bullying of gay youths, the online activist group Change.org said on Tuesday.

The Giants, who play in a city with a large gay population, joined the campaign after 6,000 people signed a petition asking for the Major League Baseball team to produce an "It Gets Better" video, according to Change.org.

Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter confirmed the team will produce a video for the campaign before it hosts an annual lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender night on August 29.

The team has not determined which players, if any, will appear in the video, Slaughter said.
