SF Giants Become First Pro Sports Team to Make "It Gets Better" Video for LGBT Youth

[UPDATE: The Chicago Cubs have just announced that they will make an It Gets Better video.]

In the last year, it has been great to be a fan of the San Francisco Giants. Celebrating in the streets of the Mission District after the team's World Series win last fall was awesome. The pride that the city has for its baseball team -- often referred to as underdogs and freaks -- is heartwarming. And now I couldn't be prouder that the Giants chose to step up to the plate (sorry) and become the first pro sports team to make an It Gets Better video in support of LGBT youth.

For years, the Giants have proven that they sincerely care about their community.

They demonstrated that in 1994 by launching "Until There's A Cure Day," which made them the first professional sports team to host a game benefiting efforts to fight AIDS. ...

Now, the Giants are again taking a sensitive step forward by becoming the first pro sports team to support the It Gets Better Project, which attempts to provide hope to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teenagers in their quests for respect and acceptance. ...

Others who have sent such messages include President Obama and members of the cast of the hit television show "Glee."
