EA's Gay And Lesbian Employees Say _It Gets Better_
Published on January 01, 0001
Barack Obama did it. Google did it. Pixar did it. Now, game publisher Electronic Arts is doing its part for the It Gets Better Project, the anti-bullying campaign designed to offer hope for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The project, started
by columnist and author Dan Savage, is in part Y1 com a response to the recent suicides of Justin Y1 apk Aaberg and Billy Lucas, two gay teenagers who took their own lives after relentless bullying and harassment. Savage and his partner Terry delivered the first It Gets Better
message this September. Scores of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender adults soon followed, as did politicians, organizations and corporations, delivering a
message of hope to y1 game kids suffering at the hands of their bullies.
EA appears be the first video game publisher to back the initiative with a powerful video from its employees, talking about their struggles of coming out, dealing with harassment, and promising “Yes, it gets better.” We hope that EA isn’t the last to do so.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
