Minister of Foreign Affairs and ex-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has now joined the global It Gets Better movement with his own video supporting LGBT youth.
“This message is for the young folk in our schools who are bullied because they are gay,” the politician begins. “In Australia it’s reported that one in every two LGBTI teens experience bullying at school. It’s gotta stop.
“So I’m adding my voice to the It Gets Better campaign around the world. Let me say quite simply – it’s not OK… there is zero tolerance for bullying in Australia and anywhere in the world.
