Ask the Vancouver Canucks to make an "It Gets Better" video

Ask the Vancouver Canucks to make an "It Gets Better" video

The Issue

Following the example of the San Francisco Giants, more professional sports teams have announced plans to make videos for the "It Gets Better" project. Please join me in asking the Vancouver Canucks to join in by creating their own "it Gets Better" video, and thus become the first Canadian pro hockey team to participate in the project.

And don't forget to share this with your friends!

You can also tweet the Canucks to ask them to make a video: 

Hey @VanCanucks: Plz make an "It Gets Better" video! http://t.co/rxtXuSV​ #itgetsbetter​ #Canucks

Sean EvansPetition StarterI am a queer transman, and my focus tends to be on trans and queer issues. Overall, I'm also a strong feminist, and generally interested in equality between people regardless of who they are. I'm a sociologist at heart. I want to spend my life studying how humans interact, and how society shapes who they are. I see many causes as inherently interrelated, and tend not to categorize them as "women's issues"/"gay issues"/whatever. It frustrates me to no end when issues that affect a wide range of people are ascribed only to a single group. Domestic violence doesn't only affect women, discrimination based on gender expression/presentation doesn't only affect transpeople, etc., yet we tend to ignore those who are affected by prejudice, hatred, or violence if they don't fit our concept of a victim. This needs to change.
