Following Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's and President Barack Obama's  videos encouraging gay youth to endure the tumultuous teen years this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has released a video of her own.

"During this challenging time for so many, you should know that I am on your side," Pelosi said in the video released Friday evening.

The video is a contribution to the It Gets Better Project, spearheaded by writer Dan Savage.
