People of all ages – gay or straight, talented or not – are invited to participate in an extraordinary video event this Sunday, October 24, 3 to 5 PM.
The video will be made at, and you are invited to come to:
The critically acclaimed Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) - a leading artistic force, staunch advocate of civil and human rights, and the first gay men's choir to perform for a sitting president (Bill Clinton) - is producing the video.
Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can't imagine a future for themselves. The music video is designed to be a community response to send the message - "It Gets Better" - that anti-gay hate must stop. NOW!
The music video will be posted to the "It Gets Better" website and on You Tube. Among the videos currently posted on “It Gets Better” is a message from President Barack Omaba.
The stellar production team for the music video - all volunteers - includes Brian Braden, former President of Programming at MTV, VH1, CMT and the LGBT channel Logo and named one of the most influential executives in reality programming; Emmy Award-winning producer/director/producer Tim Atzinger; and John Lavin of Bloodrush Films. Gay Men's Chorus' Chris Verdugo is producing the video message, and the chorus' Michael Alfera conducts the massive choir.
