Texas Rangers: Make an "It Gets Better" video!

The Issue

Will the Texas Rangers stand up against anti-gay bullying and homophobia in sports?

The San Francisco Giants have become the first pro sports team to create an “It Gets Better” video to stand up against the bullying of gay kids -- and now fans and the media are wondering if other baseball teams like the Rangers are going to follow their lead.

The Rangers can help lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth understand that suicide is not the answer to their pain. The Rangers are real heroes to many people in Texas and have a voice. Please use that voice to let LGBT kids know that suicide is not an option that over time "It Gets Better"

Sam MedalPetition StarterI am a 60 year old activist who had the privilige to stand on the San Francisco City Hall steps with Harvy Milk, Dianne Feinstein and Mayor Moscone just weeks before Milk and Moscone were executed. Was instumental in "White Night" and though now disabled am still active with my PC and whatever funds I can spare. I encourage every young (or old) GLBT individual to do whatever they can for the cause. Besides making a difference, it feels good to know you did something!
