    What's really cool about Tom speaking at Oxford Union is that his husband, Lance has spoken there also. I wonder how many couples can say that.

    I don't know where I have been, I knew Tom had come out but never really paid much attention or followed him. Then I saw him win the gold medal at the Olympics and when I saw him accept the medal and saw the tears in his eyes I was like wow. Then I started watching his videos and saw what a true inspiration he really is. He has given me a new perspective on life with his positive outlook on everything. Thank you for your motivation when I am at my lowest point in life. You have truly made a difference in my life. Thank you sir.

You have the perfect tone for my ears and I’ve been enjoying watching you and Lance living your lives and sharing some with us out here. And being single, it gets lonely a lot (lol).
