The PSA below, featuring Tim Gunn, made CB cry. It got me choked up too, but I didn’t start crying until I got to People Magazine’s cover story. Just FYI – hearing Tim Gunn talk about suicide amongst gay teens will really get you worked up. Tim recorded the PSA as part of a new initiative by The Trevor Project, a gay suicide prevention project that some celebrities – like Kathy Griffin and Daniel Radcliffe – have been working with for years. The Trevor Project does a lot of work with gay suicide prevention, and they even have a 24-hour hotline – for more information about their work, and for the donation page, go here.

Anyway, Tim Gunn recorded a very sad PSA about gay suicide. Tim reiterated columnist Dan Savage’s movement of “It Gets Better” (which we discussed yesterday). Tim confesses his own suicide attempt at the age of 17 years old… and… Jesus. Sad.

If Tim tells you not to do something, don’t do. Whether it’s in the workroom or in your personal life, take Tim’s advice. He’s like Jesus, only he’s gay, celibate, fabulous, and he will bitch you out for not working a Manolo.

Back to the serious subject – People Magazine’s cover is also about gay suicide and bullying, and the cover is of Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers student whose intimate relations with a man were recorded live by his straight roommate. People excerpts the story here – what keeps coming back to me in the stories of young gay suicides is that these teens felt like they were alone in the world, that no one understood them or heard them. I hope that this movement by some celebrities is one that if you’re young and gay and in pain, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is a kid like you in every town. And it does get better. Listen to Papa Gunn.
