- Former National MP Maurice Williamson delivered a speech during the final reading of the same-sex marriage legislation in 2013, which made an impact all around New Zealand, and would later go viral in Japan.
This man, a conservative New Zealand MP, got the words "big gay rainbow" into a parliamentary speach. As a kiwi I'm very proud. Aroha to the world.🌈 💚
@Jonathan Yang love is not NZ? What are you talking about?
Precisely. He's a conservative but he is happy to confirm the basic human rights. Good for him
@@beantrader4723 I'm over Christians. They have no concept of mind your own business, and all they do is hate people. They have nothing nice to say about anyone. What a miserable existence.
Get a life
There is a huge difference between the inspirational rainbow of nature that is a message of hope and the dirty rainbow of the poofter propagandists. They are perpetually abusing good words such as gay, pride, rainbow, in a futile attempt to gloss over their sense of shame that goes with degrading behaviour. It's all emperor's clothes. No amount of legal , media, political or Hollywood support can ever wipe away the sense of shame that accompanies such behaviour. In the meantime there is a whole generation of women who were proudly named Gay by their parents and who can no longer use their birth name because it now means something filthy, offensive and degraded. People should wake up and stop pandering to them by using such words. It might be PC to use such words but it is not kind. Kindness starts with truth. When a person faces the truth there is hope that they might just choose to turn around and improve their life. Then you can help them in the best way possible.
A politician with a degree in physics? Well now i have seen everything :)
P.S. Great speech :)
TheIcelandicPrincess Angela Merkel has a degree in physics too.
US President Jimmy Carter.
What physicians often work outside of their original field. Lots of great people are physicist. :) I want one to study it too
we had a conservative mp with degree in physics...sadly, didn't go as well for us as for new zealand.
Merkel actually has a doctor in physics
Educated, smart, humane, funny, great comic timing. This speech is a 4 min masterclass in public speaking.
100%
I'm even luckier. Up until 2017 when he retired, he was my representative in parliament.
Masterclass mentality? Only to the blind. Sinners belittle, reject, contradict, & hate God, his teachings, laws, & judgements. God said, "Neither Homosexuals, Adulterers, Fornicators, Murderers, Liars, Thieves, Gossipers, Usurpers, Blasphemers, nor Idol Worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven". God is love. Love is not lust. Gen. 2:24 "Marriage is between a man & a woman". It's an impossibility for God to create a human with unforgiveable sin, call him a hated, abomination, forbid him to ever enter Heaven. Impossible. God set down teachings, laws, commands, & judgements, taught what was allowed & what was forbidden, gave man a 'choice' as to whom he would serve; good or evil, right or wrong, God or Satan. It's all a choice. If a murderer, liar, adulterer etc. decided to make up their own laws, design individual flags, take part in parades to advertize their sins, enter gov'ts to change the laws to vindicate their crimes, adopt innocent children, teach them to lie, cheat, murder, then force the world to accept them as part of a normal society, what kind of world would that be to live in? Sodom? Is God a liar? Or is man a liar?
“God” said Lot was the only decent man in Sodom, a guy who offered his daughters up for gang rape. Then later on he impregnated them both while drunk. Great moral compass there.
@@beantrader4723 God is a fictional character so the people who made him up are liars i guess.
I love you New Zealand. Why can't we have politicians like that here in the UK?
+Zero Ninety We need politicians like this in the USA...badly.
Troy Schroeder But instead you have Trump, and now it seems you have Farage as well! Good luck with that...
And we need them so badly in Australia too
I'm in America. Imagine my pain 😩
Still fortunate to have a roof over my head and food on my plate. Many don't. But God, our president SUCKS!!!!!!!
UK is like deprived of many good things, good food, good people good politicians
I don’t know why I’m crying, but the speech is really touching to me.
I’m not even gay I guess, but I want to be an adult who can encourage and help somebody just like him.
I came here expecting homophobia. What I got was positivity
ikr i was worried but then :)
Its on par for our politics like when someone said fuck and the sign language interpreter just flipped the bird because they didn't know what to do sadly tho people got offended which is bs they were doing their job
Fantastic speech. Simply fantastic.
"Supporting an unnatural act" - so is NASA and every airline in the world. Yet you strangely don't see people complaining that much about humans flying, do you? It's the 21st century - 'natural' or 'unnatural' is no longer a benchmark.
monsterfurby hahahaha brilliant! I am TOTALLY going to use that!!
+monsterfurby Let's not forget about synthetic fibers, air conditioning, cars, smart phones, contraceptives... there's more, but I just can't think of any right now
unnatural? since when was it unnatural? has anyone told the dolphins? because they do it.
Humans don't fly, aircraft fly.
@@bishoppolycarp9684 who created airplanes? Who uses them?
Proud to be in New Zealand, love this country

@@beantrader4723 The sin of Sodom was MISER, and you would know that if you had the minimal interested of researching it, it's even stated in the bible itself, in the book of Ezekiel. Herodotus talk about that though. You don't wanna know cause you don't care about the truth, you care about having a "universal suffering" mentality and imposing your own tantrum as truth based on arguments as solid as sand. And deep inside you know youre completely insane just got comparing being homossexual to being a criminous. I hope that Shango and Oshun, the owners of my head never forget who you are and the one's that agree with your ideological spectrum, which is the one that really destroy lives, and bring you to justice. You are no different than a radical islamist that explode buildings.
New Zealand: Our conservatives would be considered radical leftists in America
AMAZING speech! Just like he said, the world hasn't ended because we've allowed same-sex couples to marry.
@@peace2u947 you caused it
Makes me proud to be a Kiwi!
+Adrian Kitson And so you should be!
One of the best speech about gay marriage i’ve ever heard, and it was spoken out loud by a straight married man
And a conservative politician too
@@benfarmer-webb1016 Goes to show what a circus American politics is.
So proud of New Zealand. He's not gay, I'm not gay (just a retired lady voter), and we both fully support this bill, along with many others, New Zealand is a wonderfully accepting country.
Same here. On the day this passed my girlfriend and I (I'm male) opened a bottle of sparkling rose and got a bit of a dewy eye drinking a toast to the majority in our parliament who passed this. Such a wonderful moment in time for those who'd been denied a basic human right, and it cost nothing to anyone else...nothing was taken away from those in marriages or other relationships, this just let more people share the ability to affirm their bond with each other.
his son is
This never gets old. Bless him
Keep your eyes on that guy behind him. He's a conservative rural MP from Taranaki, Jonathan Young, who voted no. He is squirming in his seat.
The person speaking is also a conservative
Met this bloke the other day. Great public speaker, comedic genius and all round absolute legend. More of these people are needed in NZ politics.
Out of curiosity, how is his party looking nowadays. I ask because at the time that this was happening a conservative such as he was unthinkable in the United States, and still is to be perfectly honest. And then along came Donald Trump. Simply put we’re still having to deal with the effect he’s had on the nation, and conservative parties in Canada and Great Britain are now trying to align with the Trump worldview if you will. I’m afraid to ask but I’m wondering if a similar effect has taken route in New Zealand, I hope not.
Ultimately when you think about it what is more conservative than wanting to settle down and get married?
Ahhhh New Zealand as beautiful as you are Intelligent gotta love NEW ZELAND 😎😎😎😎😎
Standing Ovation to Maurice Williamson!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All I have to say is that I loved this speech
I think it was brilliant
I love this! I watch it every so often when I need a little pick-me-up. 😊❤️🌈
I’m an Australian, and I often wish I was a New Zealander. You do it so well - you should be proud.

@@beantrader4723 god told me that you are dumb and wrong
@@beantrader4723 F**uc**k off with your fairytales and hate-filled nonsense.
the fabric of society in New zealand doesn't change after gay marriage had been legalized, straight people and couples are the majority as always, wherever you go, park, public areas, supermarket, beach, you'll see straight couples holding hands, I live in New Zealand. I've never seen a single gay couple holding hands in public. The sky over New zealand didn't drop, it is still as beautiful as before, New zealand wasn't destroyed by brimstone as what the conservatives say, What has changed is gay people have the rights to marry whom they are in love with just as straight.
Twitterからこの方を知りました！
素晴らしいスピーチだなと思いました
watched this as a kid and laughed when he said he wouldbt burn in hell. I was then beaten by my dad. just rewatched it and laughed as much as I could just to ttp.
Gays making amazing adoptive parents
Edgy.
@@garyblackbourne120 not in every case
PEOPLE (straight or LGBTIQA+) CAN make amazing adoptive parents.
Yeah, I am watching this again.
+Peter-John de Kock Me too! Brilliance never gets old!
I just watched this again.
Yet again for me
We need to rehear this now!
We need fight and hope and freedom and the joy of believing in what’s right and moving forward to a future
Be Ye not afraid
The slight crack in his voice when he speaks those words floors me every time!
That was really sweet , What a great guy .
When I'm feeling down with the world, or grumpy in general, I look up this speech, and the footage of NZ parliament passing the bill, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Faith in humanity restored.
Oh my god so do I!!
Well done Sir. Whatever you may think of the man, the speech is refreshing and should be applauded. In exactly the same way as he approaches the subject , I don't know him or know his mind, but I can comment on his ability to make a damn good speech.
This may well be the best speech I ever heard by ANY politician.
I'm not sure how many times I've played this now but I am sure it's going to be played during my wedding ceremony once the UK get on with it too. Thank you for articulating what so many people feel: it's not a big deal so don't make it one. And if the sun doesn't happen to rise tomorrow then gay marriage is the last thing you should be worried about

Well done Maurice, we the people need more MP`s like you that speak their minds and call a spade a spade. As far as i know we are not related, but the words are true.
This is the most epic speech i have ever heard in my life! =D
This speech has been the best speech ever spoken in parliament. Brilliant
NZ, you should be proud :) well done that man
Iconic speech. Absolute masterpiece.
@@peace2u947 Nonsense. Epidemics have been occurring for the whole of the world's history. The coronavirus epidemic has affected the whole world, and it started in China which doesn't have same-sex marriage. (Plus, same-sex marriage was first legalized in Netherlands in 2001. How on Earth does *that* count as "linked"?)
@@peace2u947 if you believe so much in god then god gave us the pandemics. think about that you prick
What a beautiful speech. Thank you
Louisa Wall - the openly gay MP who first introduced the Bill to parliment.
Forget area 51. Where's new Zealand again?
This guy is awesome, come on Abbott, you listening?!
Great sense of humor and presence.
Love this man
It is a rare pleasure to hear an intelligent and eloquent person speak.
Actually, Hell would be more comfortable than Heaven. As in heaven you're forced to eat porridge. Even with golden spoons it's still horrible...
And have you ever thougt about how cold it is 2 miles from the surface? I prefer Hell. Much better music to.
Still an amazing speech till this day 7 days later. Kia kaha.
It has nothing to do with pedophiles that is still illegal. It is about two consenting adults having the same rights as everyone else. Who about making comments on facts rather that fear.
Wow what a great speech!!! Love it!
That speech made me proud to call myself a New Zealander

Congratulations New Zealand 🇳🇿
Congratulations Kiwis 🥝
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Win of Love.
Brilliant speech - still moves me to tears and to laughter at the same time a decade later.
New Zealand had passed a same sex marriage bill... Yes, we can, too !!!:))))
don't
burno55 we did it! I voted yes.
What happened to the gay onslaught that was predicted?
basically nothing, just media beatups
Big gay rainbow😂
To respond to those posted who are gay and disagree with marriage that's fine, dont get married. How anyone can deny someone else their right to officially/lawfully have their love is beyond me. He speaks of religion because it is a common factor that he has obviously had experience with. Be ye not afraid, indeed.
Bruh this was too perfect. Awesome speech!
This is amazing. In my opinion those who do evil under the disguise of good are one of the worst kinds of evil.
How do you import evil into extending human rights to those who'd been shut out?
Well done NZ. Aotearia- land of the big gay rainbow :) great day in NZ history
Louisa Wall. She's the person who put the bill forward, I think she was just trying to keep a serious face because it was a big deal for her to get it passed.
That was so good OMG
what a wonderful man! well done new Zealand, hopefully Australia is not too far behind. . you gave us Russell crow, can we trade for Mr Williamson?
The Kiwis once again are a step ahead of the Ozzies.
still an epic speech all these years later!
OMG THANX so MUCH! ... it's a wonderfully eloquent way to say: "Does it concern you? No? So fuck off!"
And he even managed to backhand the church. A pity the gay men can't marry him anymore when gay marriage is finally legitimated!
Yeah because thats totally the same thing. I feel I should point out that was sarcasm due to your obvious intellectual issues. Supporting gay rights doesn't make a person gay. It is a matter of equal rights.
Fantastic.!!!!!!!!!!! Maurice for P.M.
I'm a Kiwi. I wanted the bill and am glad it went through. It gets my 100% support. You are in the overwhelming minority. Deal with it.
Amazing :D gay marriage should definitely be legal
I don't think that ever before a politician has made me proud to be a New Zealander. This did.
My tears do not stop
2024 and im still proud
i always find it kinda funny when someone say being gay is "unnatural", as if my boyfriend is a damn roboter
that was amazing and awesome! I love it :-)
Louisa Wall is a gay MP who played international netball AND rugby for NZ. She put this forward as a Private Members Bill as a member of the opposition political party in the NZ parliament, and it was drawn out of the ballot to be debated on and voted on. This was coming down to the wire and she would have been getting nervous and excited about the final vote.
MW a fantastic,guy.
❤❤❤👍👍👍..Well justified speech!!😂🌏🌏
It's because there's a loophole in the system and gods angry that gay men don't have to put up with women
if only conservatives in the US could be as understanding as this conservative MP
It is great to see a regular guy reduce the ridiculous ideas that are being trotted out by the opponents. Life will go on, hopefully better for everyone then before. The fear and imagined are in the heads of the extreme reactents. This was good advice to relax and see that nothing of the sort will occur. The sun will rise, the rain will fall, and the straight priests will carry on doing what they do. The only changes will be to relax the side that has suffered under the extremists.
I remember this went viral in Japan but OMG, this was 10 years ago already? I still love this speech. I hope things have been better in NZ with this new bill.
10 years since this bill.
Who’s the lady who the video kept cutting to? Was she relevant to something?
That is Louisa Wall,the openly gay MP who wrote the Gay Marriage Bill and got it voted in😀
Well, he's certainly witty, I'll give him that.
"I thought Deuteronomy was a cat out of Cats-"
What an awesome speech!
In the United States, a member of Congress could never DREAM of making fun of religious beliefs on the floor. It's completely unheard of. We need legislators with Mr. Williamson's sense of humor.
That's whats about living in a country that truly separates Church and state
love this guy, so funny
Incredible
he is my type// i thought he was too young for me ..hes already 62 ?? lol ..looks younger
Acceptance easily joined with clear non involvement.
maurice has been asked to appear on Ellen..hes a very intelligent funny guy I hope it shows here in NZ
Can I ask, who is the woman in the rainbow shirt that we keep cutting to?
Her name like s Louisa Wall, she is the politician/LGBTQ advocate, who forwarded this bill.
BTW NZ does not have nuclear weapons
for all of those people claiming gays are sacrilegious, If God is looking down here right now do you really think he'll find issue with two men or women finding love and happiness together? Or would he be more upset because of all the theft, killing and starvation?
To restore my faith in Humanity I must periodically watch this video that it's on all my time favourites,,, Thank you
Your awesome. I wish u were American .
Brilliant!
so beautiful
