Adam Lambert has just shown his support for a charity that spreads a message about gay youth suicide prevention. This morning he tweeted a video link to his 780,000+ twitter followers supporting a charity called “FCKH8.” The charity’s video (as tweeted by Lambert) can be seen to the left of this article (warning – the video contains cursing language). A bleeped out version of the video can be seen here.
Created by non-profit media campaigner Luke Montgomery, the “FCK BULLIES” video is raising funds for queer youth suicide prevention. The video encourages viewers to purchase a FCKH8 t-shirt, with proceeds from each shirt going towards the cause. According to the website, funds will benefit The Trevor Project, with other organizations to be added. This is not the first anti-gay cause to be supported by the FCKH8 campaign. They also had a campaign for Proposition 8:
“Our “FCK PROP 8” video was seen by millions & raised over $200,000 for the marriage equality fight. Over 40,000 T-shirts were sold & shipped to 75 countries!”
Lambert, an openly gay artist, has supported other related charities in the past. Earlier this year, Adam released an “It Gets Better” video, which sends a message about bullying to LGBT youth. In his video he basically told them to rise above the hate:
“Don’t let those bullies and those ignorant, fearful, small-minded people prove you wrong. You have to be strong and you have to pay attention to the positive. And in doing so, you will push through and you will rise up and you will live your life to the fullest. It gets better, but it’s up to you.”
