Our Youth Voices ambassador Ale, 16 (she/they) wrote this song, titled “Hail Mary,” for LGBTQ+ youth finding trouble fitting in at school - especially private religious schools. And we think it's pretty darn good. So help us amplify it, will you?

We're turning 15. What started as one vid is now a global movement, reaching millions of LGBTQ+ young people around the world. This milestone moment matters even more during #suicidepreventionmonth. We have a lot of work to do, but together, we're proving LGBTQ+ youth are not alone. #itgetsbetter

School can be rough when you're LGBTQ+, but it's also a place where you can find and build community.

So we thought we'd ask... what advice do you have for LGBTQ+ students going back to school. If you've already been through it, what's something you wish you had known? Comment👇 #itgetsbetter
