"It Gets Better" is a project that was started by newspaper editor and journalist, Dan Savage and his husband Terry Miller. The project was created as a way to prevent the massive amount of teenage suicides brought on by bullying because they were gay. Many celebrities, athletes and MLB teams have signed on to the project to stand up to bullying and for the rights of LGBT Americans, especially those who are younger. Savage and his husband tried to get the Denver Bronocs and star quarterback Tim Tebow to do the same, but like other NFL teams, they declined.
The former Florida Gator Tim Tebow has received the attention of the entire country over the last few months with come from behind wins and non-stop talk about his religion. Over the years, Tebow has made it very clear where he stands with his religious beliefs and he has become a major topic unlike any other athlete in history. His fans and the media have made Tim Tebow the topic of conversation from sun rise to sun set, so while seeing his popularity rise, the "It Gets Better" project tried to benefit from his popularity to endorse their project against bullying. Getting someone who is identified with the Christian religion to speak out against the bullying of LGBT teens would open a lot of eyes, the problem is that the Denver Broncos and their star player won't sign the pledge. It's not that hard to dig back into the past to find out why a team with Tim Tebow as their leader won't endorse a project that stands up for LGBT civil rights.
