Google Chrome runs television ad featuring the “It Gets Better” project

Google Chrome is running a television ad featuring Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” project. The commercial is part of Google’s biggest offline ad campaign.

The video, which was uploaded to Google Chrome’s YouTube account on Monday, features Dan Savage any the many other videos that were created for the project.

“Beginning with one inspiring video, Dan Savage used the web to create the It Gets Better project–a movement that has generated thousands of uplifting videos that give hope to teens.”

According to the New York Times, Google Chrome’s overall television campaign is “the biggest offline campaign ever for Google.”

Countless others have been joining in on the project. Just last month, Apple employees launched their own video.

Last year, Google announced that it would offer gay employees extra pay to allow for tax inequality.
