In the latest issue of Time magazine, sex columnist Dan Savage calls on former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to record a video for the "It Gets Better" campaign.

When the alt weekly sex columnist is asked who should record a public service spot against gay suicide, he named Pawlenty along with longtime antagonist Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin.

Who hasn't made a video yet that you hope will?
Rick Santorum. Tim Pawlenty. Sarah Palin. Glenn Beck. The Minister of Britain, who leads the Conservative Party there, made a video, and we haven't seen one from anyone on the right in the U.S. to even say, You're 14 and gay. Don't kill yourself.
Here's what it looks like on the printed page:

So will T-Paw be a good sport and contribute a video? Lord knows T-Paw's got plenty of experience with video editing after recording so many awesomely over-the-top campaign trailers.
