When we attended Netroots Nation a few weekends back, Queerty joined 22 other LGBT bloggers (including numerous people of color, a deaf person, and a gent in a wheelchair) to make an It Gets Better video for all those lonely teenage queer bloggers out there. Personally, we wanted a 5-minute version edited down to just the money shots, but instead we all got the long, girthy, and uncut 25 minute version.
Yours truly pops in at 12:26, but the video is basically a who’s who of LGBT bloggers and well worth the watch, especially if you’re a fan of other quality queer blogs. We’ve listed their names and Twitter accounts in order of appearance below:

I thought Queerty officially declared “It Gets Better” to be ineffective and over.

@TheRealMannequinAdam: Me too. And now they’re bragging about having the longest one…

@ChrisM: LOL at “bragging about having the longest one.”
