A Hancher event.

In 2010, columnist and author Dan Savage created a YouTube video to inspire hope for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth facing harassment. A year later, "It Gets Better" had grown into a global movement supported by countless celebrities, organizations, and politicians. Now, a live performance shares this rousing message, a response to bullying delivered through the dynamic musical energy of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, as well as the incorporation of local guests and digital media. By tackling broader issues of tolerance and diversity, the work addresses the nation's—and our community's—civic challenges, while reminding us all that yes, it does get better.
