US President Barack Obama has made a video contribution to the "It Gets Better" project. While some contest the pertinence of this contribution, given that the President has failed to follow through on commitments to advance equality for LGBT Americans, others applaud this recognition of the need to act to prevent suicide among LGBT young people. Prior to Obama's video, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her own video, which you can also view here.
