Katy Perry Dedicates Video To Gay Teen Suicide Hotline The Trevor Project
PUBLISHED: OCTOBER 29, 2010
Pop singer Katy Perry on Thursday dedicated her new video Firework
to The Trevor Project, the California-based non-profit that runs the
nation's
only 24-hour, toll free confidential suicide hotline for gay and
questioning
youth.
The group has received nationwide attention following the
launch of
sex advice columnist and activist Dan Savage's It Gets Better Project,
a collection of inspiring videos that lets troubled gay teens know that
it gets better and urges them to call The Trevor Project.
The I Kissed a Girl singer tweeted the dedication to her more than 4
million followers: “I am officially dedicating my new video to
#itgetsbetter, because everyone has the spark to be a FIREWORK.”
“Thanks Katy!” the It Gets Better Project said at its website. “We look
forward to hearing more from you and your support for the LGBT
community and this movement. Thanks for joining the over 100,000
at the It Gets Better Project.”
Celebrities and high-profile politicians who have created videos for
the project include President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
rocker Adam Lambert and actor Neil Patrick Harris.
