(Into the Light Walk) It Gets Better – Calling Mom from the Continental Divide!

Into the Light Walker

I decided to make an It Gets Better video, calling my birth mother from the Continental Divide in Colorado, as I walk across the country for gender and sexual orientation equality. In 2008, my mother, step-father and other family members in Florida voted against LGBT civil rights by voting for Amendment 2 (Florida’s Proposition 8). A year later I stopped talking with them because of this divide between us. This is the first conversation my mother and I have had in two years.

Does it get better? At times like these I wonder. Watch the video of the phone call below.
