2. Thanks!

I found this very moving.....a totally terrific video. May it find its way to the young in turmoil who need to see it.

Thanks!

15. Sorry for the delay. Here it is.

The ones featuring actual LGBT people just seem more genuine and authentic to me.

6. A nice message, coming from the wrong mouths

"It gets better; once you're out of school, the SFPD will smash a stick into your face without regard for your orientation! Just imagine, youth of San Francisco; equal-opportunity abuse and bullying!"

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. I understand urgency.

Believe me, been there!

Next time, please note that the men's room is just down the hall and to the right and don't forget to wash your hands.

8. Beg pardon?

9. Sorry - didn't mean to be obtuse.

I actually appreciate these members of the SFPD for the job they do and for taking their time to reach out to the kids who are struggling today. God only knows where I would be today, had I had such role models.

You are, of course, free to disagree.

[Scootaloo]

10. And I do commend them for that, honestly

I just feel that, given the SFPD response to Occupy, it comes off a little... awkward. y'know? They can put out all the nice-spirited videos they want, but if they act like abusers and bullies when they're on-duty...

Ah well. Like I said, it's a nice sentiment, and the outreach is appreciated, so I guess we can agree on that much.

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. We can indeed agree on that.

Outreach to GLBT and bullied youth trumps political/anarchy/anti-establishment sentiment any day, my friend.
