The video is specifically targeted at bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered teenagers, and in addition to pointing out the suicide statistics for LGBT youth as a result of bullying and all the other forms of persecution and discrimination against people on the basis of sexuality, it takes on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. More specifically, one of the dozen or so different celebrities who speak on the video refers to DADT and says barring people from serving their country on the basis of their sexual orientation sends a message to LGBT youth that they are worth less than others (and worthless as well, in the related meaning).
Guess who that particular celebrity is? I’ll just echo John Aravosis here: I am impressed as hell.
