Tom personifies so positively the younger generation, showing that you can be in the same time high level athlete, youtuber, openly gay... and being liked and respected as such. Definitely inspiring !
I think everyone needs a Tom Daley in their life. So positive, so kind and supportive, so genuine and transparent in all he does… honestly I think we all need a best friend like him. He’s achieved so much in his career so far, but never has he forgotten who he is or where he came from. Tom is as grounded and as humble as they come, and I really love that about him. A rare and precious gem for sure! x❤x
An extraordinary speech delivered without a note before a most demanding university audience. They don't come more difficult than Oxford undergraduates and Tom holds them spellbound! How many young people can do that?
this is nonsense, Oxford invites on any old idiot these days as long as they have been on the front page of the Sun or the latest episode of 'My Nude Ass', but yes Daley does a great job here.
Tom proves yet again that a university education is not the only path for all young people. He has succeeded beautifully in life without one. The fact that he is invited to speak at Oxford is proof of this. Well done, Tom. Follow your hopes and dreams always.
This young man is mastering the art of living his true self! Bravo Tom! Please, always be you! Of the billions of rays of sunshine, your one ray shines on so many.
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.
The story of the lessons that Tom’s dad thought him resonated so much with me. Tom - Thank you for so explicitly talking about how you interpreted and learned from that.
Thank God for Tom Daley. And thank you, Tom Daley for sharing yourself with us. May you have a long, enjoyable life -- however, you choose to define that.
1:14 so spot on. I'm totally aware that we would eventually died when the time comes. But my parents are my hero, my everything. The best thing that ever happened to me. I surely need to cherish the moments with them while they're still here. Tom Daley, you are very inspiring, your parents raised you well. Your dad will always be proud of you💜
Thank you, Tom, for having the courage in this public forum to be real, to be honest and mostly, to be YOU!! ..... No airs or pretensions in a setting that might seem to make that sort of thing seem almost obligatory ---- Just the message, "To thine own self be true." .... We are are ALL originals - no two fingerprints EVER match - ..... Your personal CONTINUING story of self discovery, self worth and self fulfillment could not be a more convincing example of these ideas .... Looking forward to your next talk!!
Just found this having read Tom's story on the BBC news app, what he has gone through in his short life and now being the most decorated British diver, you have to admire him, time he was recognised more, MBE or OBE, or better still be Sir Tom Daley
Absolutely inspirational. Very , very poignant and real. How blessed you were to have the blessing of unconditional love in your life from your Dad. That role model in your life helped you to recognize the real deal when you encountered it in your husband. Keep shining.
It was very inspirational to listen to both Tom and Lance telling their story of life and love on Oxford Union speeches of 3 years ago. Both are such accomplished speakers.
I am in Brisbane but I am from the UK and I am knitting because I pulled a tendon off the bone in schoolsport when my year 2/3 special needs kids were running and I was in the relay race with staff and students and slipped on wet grass so I am making jackets for my own 4 children’s dogs 3 of whom are in Melbourne cold rescue greyhound and a whippet keeps me busy as I just got out of hospital . I loved watching your diving from my hospital bed well done you are an inspiration to so many. Love Debbie
I have such respect for you. The way you live your life and are so open and honest. I'm so happy you found Lance and pray you have a wonderful life, you deserve it.
powerful speech by him and lance, as married couple is quite interesting to be there and perform a speech. Their children are going to be either blessed because they will inherite sport and academic achievement or they will feel the pressure and be overshadowed by their fathers.
I have much more respect for this man. What a fantastic son. What a fantastic husband. What a fantastic father. What a fantastic athlete. However, a dixie horn may not be my taste. But i wouldn't mind embarassing you with Beethoven's 5th or or a basso profundo Aaaoooga!!!😘
Empzé viendo los canales de ejercicio de Tom Daley y terminé viendo sus otros canales en RUclips en los que este tipo está. La verdad que es de admirar todo lo que hace por la comunidad gay. Tom, eres una inspiración para todos. Muy jóven para hacer todo lo que ha hecho: deportista, gimnasta Olimpico, medallista Olímpico, instructor de ejercicios, ya casado con alguien maravilloso... etc. Es una inspiración total!!.
Well Tom.. you are an inpiration... no matter what you say... I am confident that you will represent human kind in a postive manner... and you willl always consider the struggle that LGTBQ people encounter every day... we are just normal people, just like everyone else... a positive voice like yours is so comforting..
Tom Daley you are a woundfull person and who I look up to just carry on and keep what you have done and don't look back what more you can do Yours sincerely nicholas Barry
Tom Ross: I have a hunch you deserve more credit than you're giving yourself. Your coming out may have been less dramatic and public than Daley's. Mine too. But we still mustered the courage and integrity to step from the shadows into the light, to be our authentic selves. And that's what really counts!
so articulate, Tom. I will NEVER forget watching Tom in the stands watching the other divers, 2012 olympics. When his hand flew to his mouth in response to a divers performance, I said to myself uh oh, he is such a handsome gay man.
Not an easy task for him to speak at such an elite educational institution. I'm sure many in the audience spent their weekends at the family caravan....
For the last question, perhaps those folks are from dysfunctional families and in their families this is considered normal and it's almost reverse psychology because they think that if you knock someone down they'll try harder, Not realizing that knocking down can create learned helplessness and hopelessness and stall progress. What an amazing conversation and presentation overall. 👏👏👏👏👏
Good speech Tom , really enjoyable. Lovely to hear you talking about your dad, I remember the documentary,( wow till you mentioned it I had forgotten that we had watched you growing up.p That seems so long ago) with your dad and and the time he climbed up the ladder outside your bedroom window (he was nuts) that really made me laugh. And when he used to support you at competitions , be so proud of uou all those lovely hugs he used to give you. So funny . I
CONTEXT - Greg Louganis, the US diver won gold in 10m & 3m in 1984 and 1988 and then had to come out as Hiv Positive in 1988 after hitting his head on a dive. It was a very different time then and that took a lot more courage than Tom - just putting things into perspective.
he came out after he finished his carrier. Tom met him and are good friends with him. Even Greg said that Tom coming out when he on top of his carrier was very brave thing to do.

Pierre-Jean Faltot impersonates?
I believe that he meant "personifies."
Leo Cloma that makes more sense
Thanks
Bro, believe me... we had openly gay people in the 80s... its not a big deal.

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.
That is interesting to note. You should check out the address by Arundhati Katju and Menaka Guruswamy. ruclips.net/video/-Lp6H4YYN-k/видео.html

Started tearing up when he talked about his dad 😞❤️
And now he‘s a dad himself with little robbie and lance forming a family 😍❤️
He's, quite simply, so very special.. Hard not to love him!!
So true. Word by word.
I watched this after he won gold. His determination and his dad guided him to that gold. Tom Dailey is the world champion

Wow. He and Matty Lee just won the Gold in Tokyo 2020 in July 2021. I wonder why this talk isn't being shared with more youth...
Also one more bronze yesterday

Are Tom and Lance just full on orators now? What a fucking power couple.

What does the elite institution have to do with it? They're just students....and are there to hear what he has to say.
