Chicago Cubs join 'It Gets Better' effort for LGBT youth

Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade

The Chicago Cubs became the latest Major League Baseball team to launch a video for the “It Gets Better” campaign. The video, released today, features the team's manager Mike Quade, first base coach Bob Drenier, pitcher Ryan Dempster, outfielder Marlon Byrd and others.

The Cubs join the Boston Red Sox and the San Francisco Giants in releasing a video for the national anti-bullying campaign, which began in the wake of several suicides of gay young people. The Seattle Mariners have also confirmed it will release its own video.

See the video below:

There are several petitions online calling for professional sporting organizations to create their own video for the series. A petition on Change.org calling on the Atlanta Braves to make a video currently has 91 signatures.
