British LGBT Awards are asking influencers and role models for messages of support to go out to the LGBT+ community, and particularly young people struggling with life in lockdown.



If you can do a quick video message and put it out on your social media channel after Thursday, we will push it out through our social media, website and other channels? Please use #InThisTogether.

Further video guidance on filming messages of support will be found on It Gets Better UK’s website: itgetsbetter.org.uk.

Also if you want us to add any info about your organisation on our resources and support page, please let us know.

- The British LGBT Awards and It Gets Better UK have teamed up for the #InThisTogether campaign which launches tomorrow

- Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk, Feel Good star Mae Martin and director Dustin Lance Black are amongst an array of LGBT+ celebrities to record messages of hope


Caitlyn Jenner, Stephen Fry and Lena Waithe are leading a line-up of big celebrity names backing a new online campaign in support of LGBT+ young people who are struggling with daily life during Covid-19.

As a result of lockdown and social distancing measures, many young people are having to endure unaccepting or hostile situations because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

#InThisTogether will see the release of a series of videos made by celebrities offering messages of support to isolated LGBT+ young people facing challenging circumstances.

Celebs who have given their support:
Stephen Fry
Lena Waithe
Mae Martin
Caitlyn Jenner
Hayley Kiyoko
Olly Alexander (Years & Years)
And many more...

The initiative by the British LGBT Awards and supported by It Gets Better UK, will launch tomorrow (Tuesday 19 May 2020), and will share a list of charity resources that can be accessed by young LGBT+ people. The campaign will also ask members of the public to film and share their own messages of support.

The #InThisTogether campaign will be released on Tuesday 19 May via the British LGBT Awards social media channels, Twitter (twitter.com/britlgbtawards) and Instagram (instagram.com/britishlgbtawards), and also via the British LGBT Awards website (britishlgbtawards.com). The preview video will go live at 8am GMT, with Stephen Fry’s full video following at 1pm GMT.

A list of charity resources for young people can be found at britishlgbtawards.com/InThisTogether
