ICYMI: Dan Levy & SNL shine a light on the It Gets Better Project

 

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live guest host Dan Levy, along with his queer cast mates, took a moment to shine a light on LGBTQ+ non profit, the It Gets Better Project - watch here. The skit features Bowen Yang, Kate McKinnon and Punkie Johnson alongside Dan and revisits the viral social media campaign that launched the organization over a decade ago.

The skit assured viewers that while it does get better for LGBTQ+ youth, that doesn’t mean that life is perfect. From Dan’s fear of income tax, to Bowen being tormented for his taste in music, to Kate’s hilarious battle with an iguana - it’s safe to say reaching adulthood can be an uphill battle.

The It Gets Better Project is proud to continue to uplift, empower and connect the next generation of LGBTQ+ youth. After seeing the hysterical skit, Brian Wenke, Executive Director for the It Gets Better Project, shares that he “is honored to be a part of an organization that continues to maintain relevance 10 years after the viral social media campaign that gave it life.”
