Description

What does it take to lead a global movement for queer youth?


On this episode of The Queerest Podcast, host Andraé BVR speaks with Brian Wenke, Executive Director of It Gets Better—the world’s largest LGBTQ+ youth empowerment organization. Since 2016, Brian has expanded the project from a viral video campaign into a multilingual, multi-continent platform centering queer youth through storytelling, mental health initiatives, and authentic brand partnerships.


Together, they explore how It Gets Better reaches young people where they are—classrooms, social media, or moments of crisis. Brian reveals how the organization builds hope not just with words but with action, and why authentic allyship is more urgent than ever.
