Joel Burns tells gay teens "it gets better"
FORT WORTH -- Just hold on. It really does get better.
That's the message Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns shared in an emotional speech during Tuesday night's council meeting, saying his goal was to reach out to youths everywhere who are struggling with being gay.
During a moving speech, Burns said it tears him up each time he hears about youths taking their own lives somewhere in America after being bullied because of their sexuality or simply struggling with it.
Burns, who is gay, said he'd like to give his 13-year-old self -- who also struggled with being gay -- glimpses into the future.
His younger version would see him meeting his partner, being loved by his parents, winning a City Council election, Burns said.
"High school was difficult, coming out was painful," he said. "I want to tell any teen who is watching this, life will get better. ... Life will get so, so, so much better."
Burns' sometimes tearful comments drew praise from his fellow council members.
"So very proud of my friend and colleague Joel Burns for his stance against bullying of gay youth and those perceived to be gay," Councilwoman Kathleen Hicks wrote on Facebook during the meeting. "I am sure he saved many tonight."

The Girl's got Style! - Alison Mosshart
Alison Mosshart elicits tingles in the the nether regions among females and males alike. Her coarse raspy voice, stylish prowess and intoxicating perfect disinterested stare collide into pure sexual magic. Alison's is a champion of 'rock chic'. Her skinny jeans, pointy boots, leopard skin jacket, relaxed tee and chunky jewellery coupled with her untamed long bangs make her an almost always recognised trademark. Her style is simple & effective. Why mess with a good thing?
"I loved the way the bands I grew up admiring looked and the way they dressed. That was just as inspiring as the other elements. It’s the whole thing: the music, their lives, their style . . ."
If it ain't broke, why fix it?
