Allow me to be blunt, if you will. Bullying is some bullshit.
No one benefits from being picked on, singled out, abused, or driven to suicide. Those that bully do so because of ignorance, fear, lack of manners and a need to make themselves feel better.
The It Gets Better Project and The Trevor Project were born of unfortunate necessity to bring awareness to the bullying of teens who belong to the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgendered) community.
The Boston Red Sox lent their support for the cause by producing the following PSA….
Sports have always lived in the macho zone, and historically anything or anyone gay or “soft” ran the risk of being ostracized and ridiculed. Thankfully, things are beginning to change as more individuals and sports are opening up and taking a stand.
I applaud the Red Sox and other sports organizations, reps and players for their efforts to end the bullying of ANYONE.
You can also take a stand and pledge to speak out against intolerance and ignorance by joining the Its Gets Better Project.
