Eric Himan & Friends • Tony

For the LGBT Youth out there struggling with bullying, indifference, and heartache. People care. People how have been there. Like you are now. Like I was. Like Eric was. Like Tom was. Like Aiden was. Like Joe was. Like Ingrid was. Like Namoli was. Like Liz was. Like Brianna was. You are not alone, there are so many who have gone before you that felt that way. And there are so many who feel the same as you do now. Hold on, and have courage. It really does get better.



If you need to reach out, there are many who would be willing to help. If you are someone who is having these issues, or know someone who is dealing with this please contact The Trevor Project here or call 866-488-7386.

Tuscon Jam - 'It Gets Better' Style

L to R: Namoli, Aiden, Joe, Ingrid, Eric, Liz, and Brianna. Not pictured, the adorable Tom.

I just saw this video posted on YouTube and had to share, since it includes three of my favorites, Eric Himan, Aiden James and Tom Goss. There are also other performers, and now I have to check out their music, cuase I really enjoyed this. I think it is best to let the description online explain it all. After a day of performing at Tucson Pride on 10/09/10, the musicians, Namoli Brennet, Eric Himan, Aiden James, Joe Stevens and Ingrid Elizabeth of Coyote Grace, Liz Stahler, Brianna Lane and Tom Goss get together to do a rendition of Patty Griffin's, "Tony", a song that speaks to the recent string of LGBT youth suicides.
