MTV and their corporate cousin Logo will air an “It Gets Better” special on February 21st, in collaboration with Dan Savage. MTV announced that Adam Levine, Zachary Quinto, Jake Shears and others would also join the special:
“What you see in the special are all these young people who are at different stages of the coming out process, making it better for themselves using their own power to change and transform their lives,” Savage recently told MTV News.
Savage and his husband, Terry Miller, founded the It Gets Better Project in the fall of 2010 in response to the increasing number of suicides among teenagers who were being bullied by their peers, often because they were LGBT or suspected to be. In keeping with the mission of the project, the special will feature video messages of support from Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, Zachary Quinto, Margaret Cho, Chaz Bono, “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears.
