It Gets Better: Vancouver Fresh!

My OUTtv co-host Rob Easton created, directed and spearheaded a pretty awesome video submission for the It Gets Better Project, with a little help from Rob Farrow of Way Out West infamy (thanks for shooting with us). You’ll see some familiar cameos in it, including I’mSteveAdams, some Chor Leoni boys, Carlos, Hunter, Justin and the incomparable Michelle (who also played the bully).

Recognize this set location?

Hubba hubba! The West End sure is a sexy October strumpet in this video, no?

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped us make this real. Love you guys (and girl).
