    My older brother is gay and he lives in kansas. I would do anything for him to never feel less than anyone because of who he is. So come on America, let's evolve and spread equality throughout our entire country!

    HRC speeches have helped me a lot during my journey of coming out and fully accepting myself. They have made me feel worth and they have given me courage.
    If these videos had multi-language subtitles we would reach more and more people around the world.
    I volunteer in translating this speech in Italian, if HRC agrees..

    Parents don't have to be told.
    One can't ask a minor if it wants a credit card; likewise one can't tell anyone things that is outside of their ability to comprehend.
    .
    My mom was 100 when I turned gay; she had a daily life expectancy of only 4 hours, why would you endanger someone's life and well being etc., with potentially mortifying news.

      +cruz loera Gays can reproduce just as straights if that's what you were wondering. Our function isn't different, it's our attraction. There are methods such as surrogacy that enable procreation for those who wouldn't be able to do so.
