Throwing his voice into the "It Gets Better" ring, Matchbox Twenty lead singer Rob Thomas tells LGBT teens that bullies are scared of the "courage" and "conviction" it takes to be unique, and they respond by lashing out.
"Before you know it, you're going to be around a whole other group of people in your life, and those are the people that are going to understand that it's those things about you that make you so special and those are the things that they love the most," Thomas says.
Last year Thomas made a passionate plea for marriage equality in a Huffington Post opinion piece. The singer has been a longtime supporter of gay rights.
