The San Francisco Giants have helped kick off Pride Month by becoming the first professional baseball team to join the "It Gets Better" campaign. The campaign features celebrities and everyday people telling youths not to be ashamed of being gay and that life gets better.
It Gets Better has already featured videos from Neil Patrick Harris, Google, Tim Gunn, Ke$ha, cast members of Glee and even President Obama.
Pro sports teams have come under more scrutiny lately, especially after Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Joakim Noah of the Bulls separately used the word "faggot" as a derogatory slur during NBA playoff games. Change.org has helped lead the charge petitioning nearly every major sports team to join the "It Gets Better" campaign.
The Giants, who also won last year's World Series, were the first MLB team to get on board, releasing the above video Wednesday. It's great to see the Giants franchise -- itself no slouch when it comes to social media -- joining the cause so quickly.
