Kellogg School of Management Gay & Lesbian Association Debuts New Video on Coming Out
Last week, the Gay & Lesbian Management Association (GLMA) at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management debuted a new video on YouTube entitled “It Gets Better,” featuring gay and lesbian Kellogg students sharing their experiences of coming out. Kellogg Dean Sally Blount also participates, expressing her enthusiastic support for the GLMA.
The release of “It Gets Better” marks the 20th anniversary of the GLMA at Kellogg. The six-minute clip includes several students sharing about their lives before and after coming out, including feelings of while keeping their sexual orientation a secret, the reactions they feared and the sense of relief, acceptance, and freedom they felt upon disclosing who they really are.
“I am an enthusiastic ally of the GMLA,” says Dean Blount as part of the video. “I am deeply proud that Kellogg has such a strong community, and I am deeply committed to making it stronger every day.”
The video closes with a message of encouragement from Blount. “To those of you who may watch this video, who are on the journey to embracing, accepting, and seeing your true selves, just know that there are a whole lot of people out there who love you, who respect you and want nothing more than for you to be truly the magnificent person you were born to be,” she says.
Since it was posted on YouTube four days ago, the Kellogg “It Gets Better” video has been viewed almost 1,500 times. Through the creation of the video, Kellogg joins a growing number of business schools that have created similar videos for their own students, including Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business.
