OH MY GOSH.... Thanks god this was all just a play.... I felt so terrible for him and I started crying when he said that he would have probablly killed himself...
Chris Colfer is so fucking talented. he portrays this character so well its almost believable! I couldn't stop staring at those beautiful blue eyes! i love him soo much!
This is so connected to my experience. I'm actually so moved, by both Chris Colfer's extraordinary acting and the script. My mom said exactly the same thing to me. She said if she would've known I'll grow up becoming a lesbian, she would've killed me when I was born. I was 14. Before that, all my family members were very proud of me because I was a good girl. After they found I'm a gay, everything changed. She locked me up in a mental hospital and insisted to "cure" me. I tried to kill myself and suffered from serious depression. It's been 10 years. I still remember every single word came out from my mom that day. But I don't even hate her anymore. The opposite of love is not hate, is indifference. Being gay is not a wrong thing. I hope everyone could understand this.
Hello, I admire both your bravery and perseverance and I think we'd be good friends, partially because I desperately need your advice and also because I can tell you're a cool and comfortable person.
I admire your courage. I once considered suicide as well. Being gay was a major cause. I'm glad I don't feel suicidal again. And I hope people who are gay anywhere can be proud of who they are.
Amazed. My mom passed by while Chris Colfer was saying the line about the mom supposedly saying that she should have gotten an abortion instead of having a gay kid. My mom literally turned to me, and she shook her head. She's like "People these days, how can they be so cold hearted to their children? I'm going to pray for that kid." That proves a point that Chris Colfer is a really good actor!! I love you Chris, and this made me actually believe you were in the case!
If this play can bring people to tears imagine those who were there and witnessed the real people testifying in the court. How could it not break your heart!
Chris's voice is so emotive. You can see it in his acting, his singing, his writing. It hurts me that he doesn't act anymore because watching this you can see how amazing he is. This man will forever be my role model for being able to give performances like this.
This is one of the small reasons why Chris Colfer Deserves all the awards. He deserves everything he has now more. Amazing writer, Genius Actor and Inspiring Person.
He's an amayzing actor with a heart of gold and the voice of an angel. One of my all time favorite male performers. Not to mention he's also handsom as hell. Love you Chris. Keep on following your dreams!
Thank you Mr. Colfer for everything you've done for the LGBTQ society. I haven't come out yet in my personal life but hope to someday when I'm no longer economically dependent on my parents. You are just my biggest inspiration and I want to be like you someday.
I cried so hard while he was talking about how this affected him, with his family and all, it felt so real, he is one of the greatest actors I know, he is so underrated!
It honestly brought me too tears to know how many people go through shit like this every day. (Pardon my language but forreal) he is such a good actor and thank god this isn't real. I can't love knowing that was how he was treated.
Chris Colfer is such an amazing human being. You can see that even though he is acting, he is still feeling and probably understanding what his character (based on a real person) is going through. Every time I watch this (or any of his amazing accomplishments) I still get the same reaction: pure and total adoration towards him.
At the beginning, I almost cried cuz I thought it was real at i felt bad for what his mom said, but then I realized that it was a play. That's good acting.
I don't care if this was him or not. The way he said his lines, how you could hear the shakiness in his voice, see the tears in his eyes. That, /THAT/, is pure talent. This didn't happen to him, but it sure seemed that way. I am in tears because of this 5:46 long video. And it's simply because someone could have had that exact experience, and the way it is addressed in this play.
Chris Colfer is so talented I cannot handle it. His eyes are like deep blue seas just asking for me to get lost in them and his acting makes me live the scene in my head as if I was there. His writing makes the stories come to life in ways unimaginable; in which I lose my sense of reality for the better. He is flawless in any and every way possible. His voice captivates me. I love him. 😋Asa and just cause I'm a fangirl, I kinda sorta wish he was bi..so I could marry him 😜😜😜
wow girl we are one! i feel the same! he is my everything. i adore him. he is so precious to me, those beautiful blue eyes are so captivating and when I stare into them I lose all control of myself! his beauty is out of this world and he saves lives just by his caring inspiring words of wisdom! like i dont care if he's gay, I'd still marry him
You can tell the emotions are real. But this wasn't his experience, he just played so well because he had felt some of these emotions. I admire him so much for his strength and courage and that he was able do this to help an organization that was bigger the just him.
Chris Colfer is just special , He's one of a kind . If I could be any person i'd be him. Look at all the struggle he's been through and now he is an amazing actor and admired by everyone, he deserves it more than anyone else. I love you Chris.
Chris captured my attention so well, I didn't notice Brad Pitt was the judge until 4 min in....This is soon amazing acting. No major props or gimmicks, just pure raw, talent.
At 0:35 - the lines said by Chris here are actually what happened to Chris in real life. He said he was bullied a lot in school, called all horrible names, and his mom had to take him out of school at times and home school him, just because the bullying became so bad for him.
Chris is so amazing, he portrays Ryan Kendall's story so moving and truly. It's hard for me to sit through this clip, I always have to fight from crying by the end of it. Well done Chris. :)
Okay I know this is just a play but hearing Chris delivering these lines and knowing that there are actual people who go/went through this, makes it so, so hard to watch and I had to pause several times
I hope to see '8' in full one day and not via you tube clips. In the meantime, i find these clips are so incredibly moving. The performances are incredible.
Chris is such an amazing actor. It makes me so mad that some people do go through this..and not only from strangers and kids at school but their own family. I wish everyone would just accept everybody.
Great job Chris!He somehow out shined everyone on stage and was the best actor there. (Please read this comment and respond Chris!)(I know he won't tough..)

This is why I love Chris! I saw a clip on tiktok and believed it although it was horrific to hear him say he’d have killed him self! Chris Colfer everyone, this guy is so incredibly talented!
I don't know you and your comment is from 5 years ago so I don't know if things have changed for you, but you are so loved and so valid and I hope you are living the life you want and loving who you want because everyone deserves that. I'm proud of you!
My experience with both Glee and Kurt Hummel has been inconsistent. What has always been consistent is the view that Chris Colfer is a wonderful actor, and this play shows it so well. He demonstrates with gravitas and pathos, while showing great timing. And my God, if he isn't regal, I don't know who is.
This man has a beautiful voice a brilliant actor and we watched from series, 1-6 of Glee how handsome he has become, I live in England and I wish we could see more of him over here.
I was crying I was so angry at all the things being said. You should never say that to your child or change yourself to please others. I love Chris so much and it hurt me. I didn’t realize it was a play until it was over, but these hurtful things need to stop. I love everybody, a perosn is a person.
My friend came out to me and I say this whenever someone tells me someone is gay bi or lesbian doesn't mean they have change or you are any less of a human than you were before
As someone who is gay… this honestly hit HARD!!! This is what gay people actually go through. I thought they were all serious until I heard the laughing 😂
4:09 my favourite line. I can't believe that people really think that gay is a phase, or some sort of disease. I just love Chris so much, with every project he does, i just... He is unbelievably talented.
To see Chris Colfer working with some of the Best Actors there are, Is Amazing! I think & feel that George Clooney sees something in Chris during the whole scene. I hope the 2 can work together again. It would be pretty cool to see them both in the same movie.
I agree with TheTact76. I just think you're jealous of him that he's just so amazing and he's made of pure talent and all you can do is make hateful comments across the internet while hiding behind a mask of anonymity. It's very easy (and also cheap) to post hateful comments on youtube when no one knows who you are, but it's very difficult and amazing to do what Chris Colfer does and did.
I really didn't read the description and I just told my friend and he's telling me that it was a play and I feel really stupid now. But I still love chris colfer so much and he's made such a big difference for me on glee and stuff.
at the beginning i thought this was real until i realized it was a play, that just proves what an amazing actor chris colfer is. i love him so much.
Melanie Peicott omg same
OH MY GOSH.... Thanks god this was all just a play.... I felt so terrible for him and I started crying when he said that he would have probablly killed himself...
exactly!! I almost started crying
SAME
Melanie Peicott I didn't even realise it was a play until I read your comment
He's such an incredible actor, right down to his facial expressions. His eyes portray so much emotion.
Chris Colfer is so fucking talented. he portrays this character so well its almost believable! I couldn't stop staring at those beautiful blue eyes! i love him soo much!
SAME .. THESE EYES UGH
I spent the entire video basically saying "don't make me cry Chris" and then I cried so I got annoyed.
~-inhales multiple times then coughs from inhaling too much air~ (basically what happened to me the whole video)
This is so connected to my experience. I'm actually so moved, by both Chris Colfer's extraordinary acting and the script.
My mom said exactly the same thing to me. She said if she would've known I'll grow up becoming a lesbian, she would've killed me when I was born. I was 14.

Just found it and God, Chris Colfer is one of the sexiest men alive
chococolfer He isn't one of the sexiest men. He is the sexiest man
@@mkogler02 YES
I agree
I'm sorry but this just broke my heart...
There's NOTHING wrong with loving someone, the only problem is...not everyone knows that.
Its a play. But its true its sad
Yeah it's a play and did you wonder why actors were carrying script? Because this happened and they were reading the dialogue,it had to be verbatim
Chris is MY FAVORITE FROM GLEE
Matt Bomerfan4life yes me to
Matt Bomerfan4life Tbh I skipped through all 6 seasons in less than a week from just seeing Kurt act.
SAMMEE!
Kurt is my no 1 favourite character 😍
If this play can bring people to tears imagine those who were there and witnessed the real people testifying in the court. How could it not break your heart!
What a talent.
And the last sentence is just so hurtful I had tears in my eyes.
How I love this guy!
Chris colfer is simply incredible - the way he portrays every character has a unique quirk of his own and I simply adore him :)
Love when Chris says "Nope I was just as Gay as when I started" So funny especially with the look on his face as well
Chris is such a wonderful actor.
Chris is so talented it is absolutely unreal.
He's SUCH a good actor!! And so beautiful
He has got a beautiful voice and he's extremely handsome!
Yes he is
Chris's voice is so emotive. You can see it in his acting, his singing, his writing. It hurts me that he doesn't act anymore because watching this you can see how amazing he is. This man will forever be my role model for being able to give performances like this.

Chris has me crying. His emotion is so raw and incredible
I am legit crying right now. Chris, saying those words, just makes me want to hug him and tell him that it'll be okay. Dang that man's talent!
It honestly brought me too tears to know how many people go through shit like this every day. (Pardon my language but forreal) he is such a good actor and thank god this isn't real. I can't love knowing that was how he was treated.

This is OUTSTANDING! Chris and the other actors are powerful in recreating this courtroom exchange. TRUE STORY.
god Chris is such a wonderful actor this is making me so emotional
Even george was impressed and smiled by his astounding acting!
At the beginning, I almost cried cuz I thought it was real at i felt bad for what his mom said, but then I realized that it was a play. That's good acting.
It's just simply amazing how Chris outshines these brillant actors. I salute you!
Chris colfer moves me,the world needs more people like him.
I don't care if this was him or not. The way he said his lines, how you could hear the shakiness in his voice, see the tears in his eyes. That, /THAT/, is pure talent.

Kudos to ALL the actors for doing this and specially to Dustin Lance Black for writing such an amazing play
Chris Colfer is just special , He's one of a kind . If I could be any person i'd be him. Look at all the struggle he's been through and now he is an amazing actor and admired by everyone, he deserves it more than anyone else. I love you Chris.
wow. he's so genuine when he acts. Its kinda scary. utter respect.
Chris captured my attention so well, I didn't notice Brad Pitt was the judge until 4 min in....This is soon amazing acting. No major props or gimmicks, just pure raw, talent.
At 0:35 - the lines said by Chris here are actually what happened to Chris in real life. He said he was bullied a lot in school, called all horrible names, and his mom had to take him out of school at times and home school him, just because the bullying became so bad for him.
Chris is so amazing, he portrays Ryan Kendall's story so moving and truly. It's hard for me to sit through this clip, I always have to fight from crying by the end of it. Well done Chris. :)
BRUH HES SUCH A GOOD ACTOR I THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL
Chris' acting is phenomenal in this. Ryan's story is very touching and Chris plays the part so well.
Oh god the end
Okay I know this is just a play but hearing Chris delivering these lines and knowing that there are actual people who go/went through this, makes it so, so hard to watch and I had to pause several times
I hope to see '8' in full one day and not via you tube clips. In the meantime, i find these clips are so incredibly moving. The performances are incredible.
To me love as a parent is all inclusive and how any parent can hate or turn out their own child based on their sexuality is appalling
Chris is such an amazing actor. It makes me so mad that some people do go through this..and not only from strangers and kids at school but their own family. I wish everyone would just accept everybody.
The exchange between Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Lahti, Chris Colfer was so emotional, I ended up crying myself. And I rarely ever cry. :'(
Great job Chris!He somehow out shined everyone on stage and was the best actor there.
(Please read this comment and respond Chris!)(I know he won't tough..)
5:36 OMG I wanted to cry
yeah, he is just AMAZIIIIIIIING actor.

Wow Chris Colfer. You were so brave to do this at the height of Glee! I was such a huge fan then. I still am. Love your books.
This is why I love Chris! I saw a clip on tiktok and believed it although it was horrific to hear him say he’d have killed him self! Chris Colfer everyone, this guy is so incredibly talented!
And this Ladies and Gentleman is why I love Christopher Paul Colfer.
I love him so much. I am bi and I can't come out to my parents because if they knew, they wouldn't see me the same way...
Gabriela Egas same

Saying Chris he's a great actor is and understatement no one else could have done this better

Such a raw incredible powerful performance by Chris Colfer
Wow I thought this was real Chris is so talented he has so much emotion just wow
As someone who is gay… this honestly hit HARD!!! This is what gay people actually go through. I thought they were all serious until I heard the laughing 😂
It’s in the eyes. Really good acting
WOOW I AM SO AMAZED BY HIS PERFORMANCE
...tears. lots of tears. he seems so..... extraordinarily good at acting.
Colfer you are the most talented, inspirational and honestly beautiful man to walk this Earth.
"Um... I would, I would have probably killed myself" That makes me cry. :'(
I love Chris so much. He is a flawless actor.
Oh, my heart!
4:09 my favourite line. I can't believe that people really think that gay is a phase, or some sort of disease. I just love Chris so much, with every project he does, i just... He is unbelievably talented.

Same
this hurts so much
Chris Colfer is so amazing I didn't even notice that the guys asking him questions were George Clooney and Kevin Bacon!
Ahhh he's adorable.
I feel incredibly sad by the reality of it, but Im so excited with how this is a play full of awesome actors.
This made me cry - not just over chris' performance but that this actually happens to people! Awful way to treat people and to speak to your own child
He really is such an amazing actor.
Exactly. And that's so annoying. Can't people keep their hate to themselves? But Chris is so amazing in this video, too!
this made me so sad even though its a play.
I agree with TheTact76. I just think you're jealous of him that he's just so amazing and he's made of pure talent and all you can do is make hateful comments across the internet while hiding behind a mask of anonymity.

Oh god he is such a good actor. I want to cry.
I thought this was a real interview until I realized oh it's a scripted thing but I still nearly cried Chris is such a believable actor!
I've watched this scene about 9 or 10 times and the last line gets me every time. It's just terrible that things like this actually happen to people.
WHAT A TALENT!!! OMG HE IS INCREDIBLE
Oh my God I thought this was real. That just proves that Chris is an amazing actor.
No but I’m actually crying
I was seriously crying when i watched this!
He's phenomenal
Acting
Singing
Writing
Chris was awesome in this,he always wasnd will be!
I really didn't read the description and I just told my friend and he's telling me that it was a play and I feel really stupid now. But I still love chris colfer so much and he's made such a big difference for me on glee and stuff.
hes so smart it feels real
Omg his eye makes me cry ;(
Incredible acting! It is so beautiful.
This is part of a true reenactment of the Prop 8 trial. The words are the exact words spoken. This is the true story of a guy named Ryan Kendall.
