"I'm sure there's a Shit Someone Says video out there you haven't seen yet, but why not skip it and watch this surprisingly moving It Gets Better video from the SFPD," notes SF Appeal's Eve Batey, who first reported on the video. And she's right. The video, just released today by the San Francisco Police Department, showcases several queer officers telling their stories of growing up as gay youths. It's quite touching.

Also among the fray? SFPP Chief Greg Surh, who says, "I was a smallish young man...and I'd get bullied all the time...and I really, really appreciated it when people stuck up for me. I can't even imagine what it's like growing up as an LGBT youth today...no one deserves to be taunted or bullied."

Watch it now. And then show it to your kids, your cousins, you or friends who have kids, or whatnot. Please. Thank you.
