Oscar Pistorius' future is NOT looking good.

The paralympian's Nike Bullet campaign was already removed from his personal website following the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, and while that wasn't the only campaign that Oscar was backing — he just got the boot from South Africa's It Gets Better movement, which supports the LGBT community.

This is kinda mind blowing: 2 separate San Fransisco 49ers have just claimed to have never taken part of the video the team recorded for the It Gets Better campaign — which supports the LGBT community.

They specifically say they weren't a part of the 'gay video.'

The thing is, though, they totally were. Not only can you clearly see them making statements in the video (above), but they're also LABELED BY NAME.

So what's the deal??

Candid, touching, to the point…

Lea Michele delivers a frank, honest message basically saying: being a tween/teen SUCKS in general, but we all endure it, and life DOES get better!!

Get inspired by Glee's silver tongued senorita (above)!

The It Gets Better campaign launched a couple of years ago and aims to alleviate the pain of young people who are tormented to the point of desperation. It spreads a hopeful message about the future.

Oh we would never wish to be an adolescent again! The raging hormones, the awkwardness, the ignorance of those who think being cool is the ultimate goal in life, it's all a bunch of superficial madness!

But then you grow up, people (hopefully) mature, and you get to experience the true joys of life: exciting new experiences, adventures, independence… IT REALLY DOES GET BETTER!

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has created an online survey asking gay and bisexual men about their sexual practices.

It hopes to give state and local health departments a better understanding of the HIV epidemic and hopefully will help them create new techniques for reversing the trend.

The survey only takes a few minutes and for every completed survey the CDC will donate to the It Gets Better Project.

They've already raised $800 in only 6 days.

So to all the gay and bisexual men out there, please, for your health and everyone else's, take the survey.

It's completely anonymous. Just CLICK HERE and complete it.

After finishing, it doesn't just thank you for your participation, it also shows you personalized insight and comparisons based on your answers.

Do it to help put an end to HIV!

UGH.

Dan Savage, writer and creator of the It Get's Better campaign, encountered a walkout during his speech at the National High School Journalist Conference in Seattle, when he said, "We can learn to ignore the bull—t in the Bible about gay people."

Knowing Savage as we do, we know he wasn't saying Christianity was bullish** or that religion in general is bullish**. He was merely pointing out that certain aspects of the Bible are outdated and simply wrong — specifically anti-gay sentiments — which makeup perhaps .00009% of the text.

Savage later called the walk-out
