On a more positive note, a 12 year old boy Sam Maden  has started a petition to get the Red Sox Baseball team to make an "it gets better" video, In honor of his late uncle who was an advocate for teen gay rights. So far the petition has reached 6000 signatures. There has been no Red Sox video but the movement has started and the San Fransisco Giants have been the first sports team to make an "it gets better" Video. WAY TO GO SAM!
