Having been following the "It Gets Better" campaign by The Trevor Project ( http://www.thetrevorproject.org/ ) for the last year or so, set up to combat the hostility and ignorance leading to gay teen suicide in the USA, I had been heartened to see so many famous faces posting YouTube videos in support. Some were the usual suspects,; Margaret Cho, Ellen DeGeneres, Darren Hayes, Max Adler and Portia DeRossi, but as welcome as these familiar voices were, I also found it very encouraging to hear from the sci-fi/fantasy community too, particularly Daniel Radcliffe, Aleksander Skarsgard and especially the wonderful Zachary Quinto, who this week chose to publicly come out as gay on his website.
