11.09.10 – A Jason Bellamy Short-Form Musical Video Production in Support of the It Gets Better Campaign
Sooo I pride myself (sort of, kind of) on being socially aware, but – and I’m totally embarrassed to have to admit this, but I’m human! – there are limitations to what I usually take in~ NAMELY if it involves the environment! Or the politics of gender! Or (because I’m selfish and like to have a chillaxed time) the legalization of ganj! However! I did, a million years ago, get my blog on over the issue of gay marriage (before I even ended up in one WHAT ARE THE ODDS) and I guess some people remember that or were reminded through Google.
This brings me to the It Gets Better campaign, and how I somehow ended up as someone that some (maybe like, two, if that) LGBTQ kids want to listen to? So confession time, I’ve been dodging some requests that I make a video of my own to share my own experiences with being QUEERQUEERQUEER as a youth and how my life has totally improved since then. Why? Not because I don’t support the cause, because boy howdy, I do, but mostly because I never actually had to deal with the kind of bad situation~ that I would need to get better. My high school bullying experiences were mostly about being, you know, Jason Bellamy, Former Child Star, at a public school, and those didn’t have much to do with my apparent homosexuality~ so it never occurred to me that I might someday look back and scoff at how I thought I’d never accept myself until I got out of high school and reached self-actualization.
I kind of love myself an awful lot, though. And you all should too.
So, a compromise! Instead of waiting around for It to Get Better, I present an Official Jason Bellamy Short-Form Musical Video Production, available for download for a nominal monetary fee ($2.00US a pop!) from this here blog, WHICH you can also access through CBS.com WHICH may also link you to iTunes in the coming days for a slightly higher price maybe? All proceeds go toward six LGBTQ youth groups across this great nation of ours, willing and able (more able with more donations!) to provide a safe space for LBGTQ youth. Obviously. Hence the name!
SO. Without further adieu, “This Too Shall Pass”:
