The It Gets Better Project Announces Release of “LGBTQ+ Fundamentals”

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, the It Gets Better Project unveiled a new series of bite-sized educational videos called LGBTQ+ Fundamentals. Developed as a companion video component to the already popular glossary of LGBTQ+ terms and labels found at itgetsbetter.org, the videos offer context and further explanation for the ever evolving language of terms and labels used by LGBTQ+ people. The video series was supported in part by members of the Humble Bundle community.

The It Gets Better Project’s LGBTQ+ glossary has long been a valuable resource for people looking to brush up on or take a deeper dive into LGBTQ+ terminology. Twelve videos in the LGBTQ+ fundamentals series were released in 2022 and another eleven videos are available today. The series provides videos for some more commonly used terms — such as gay, lesbian, and coming out — while also venturing into more complex, lesser-known terms, like pronouns-neopronouns, gender identity, and asexuality. LGBTQ+ Fundamentals arrives at a time with the labels and identities of queer youth are being challenged by politicians, in the media and in schools.

“The importance of LGBTQ+ Fundamentals rests in the understanding that language within the LGBTQ+ community is vastly-changing and constantly-evolving to fit the needs of community members who are also learning, growing, and exploring their identities and beliefs. '' Eboni Munn, Director of Brand Marketing, Content & Creative. “The take away from our educational videos is that there is no one way to learn, present or identify. We are all on a journey of self-discovery and language should meet us where we are.”

LGBTQ+ Fundamentals was made possible by support from members of the Humble Bundle community through purchases of the company’s Pride bundle in 2021. Humble Bundle has long been a supporter of the It Gets Better Project, dating back to the company’s first bundle supporting our work to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ youth back in 2016.

The release of LGBTQ+ Fundamentals also arrives with a free-for-download EduGuide, helping educators to facilitate discussion and learning around each of these terms. You can watch all 23 LGBTQ+ Fundamentals videos on YouTube or visit the LGBTQ+ Glossary at www.itgetsbetter.org/glossary to see them in the context of their accompanying terms.
