“My name is Greg Suhr, and I’m the chief of police for the San Francisco Police Department.

I was a smallish young man here in SF, and I’d get bullied all the time, even though I had many brothers and sisters. And I really, really appreciate it when people stick up for me.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like growing up as an LGBT youth today. And nobody deserves to be taunted or bullied.

It does get better. And until it does, we here in the San Francisco Police Department are gonna stick up for you.

Believe me, it gets better.”
