Bookshelf: Pleasure Seekers and Secret Keepers

It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller
Since its founding in late 2010, the It Gets Better Project has spawned over 10,000 videos of bullied LGBT individuals as well as allies telling their stories of overcoming adversity. In the It Gets Better book, just released in paperback, project cocreators Dan Savage and Terry Miller (his partner) compile tales of everyday people and famous figures like Barack Obama, Tim Gunn, and Suze Orman in a collection that is as inspiring as the videos.
