Koen Xox I don't think that word means what you think it means. Or, more than likely your referring to something other than the building in South Korea and we had a failure to communicate.
When both of my kids were very little they asked why a man was holding another mans hand. I said, “ I don’t know them, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s because they like or love each other”. The truth was good enough for them then & it really is that simple.

This ted talk made me think of something. You know, fellow gays, instead of yelling at and fighting with people because they say something "offensive" let's begin to fight for some actual issues like the ones this guy here is talking about. I know this took place 5 years ago, and some if not most of those issues are probably resolved, but my point still stands. Let's fight for real issues instead of getting offended by every little thing as i've seen some of us do.
Honestly if people are being rude just approach them with kindness and it will absolutely confuse the person against you. If you do this they tend to settle down and I've been in situations where they do research without me even encouraging them to do and I've made people change their views through this.
mikael im talking about how some of us get offended over the smallest things. Im not saying all gays are super sensitive or easily offended, but it seems today its somewhat of a trend for people in general to get offeded very easily over the smallest things. Instead, we should be trying to improve the world we live in rather than verbally beat someone up for saying something we dont like or agree with.
Wizardporn2008 I agree, but thats not what im saying. even if most aren't theres quite a lot from what I've seen. though im not tryna say all gays or even most are like that.
The scary part is for some it is an actual fear. Especially among some straight men. They are so fearful some guy might hit on them it drives them crazy!
When he showed the founding fathers I laughed because if you know ANYTHING about Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens it’s that they were more than friends
When I was younger, I asked my older sister about some actor who was married to a dude. I asked her “how can two dudes get married” she started to panic and say “uhh they.. fist bump at the wedding!” I didn’t realize until I was 10 a man was capable of kissing another man, I lived my child life thinking they’d say “you may now fist bump the groom!”
as a christian asexual panromantic I can say half of that statement is true. There are some "Christians" that really hate Lgbtq+ but the other half are actually really nice and accept others for who they are! I came out to my church and they were really supportive and love me the way I am! For real Chistians (the people that accept anyone) we are really ashamed for the people that say they are christian and have the 'I hate' attitude because then others start making fun of actual christians who don't have a problem with the LGBTQ comunity and just make them feel bad too. I honestly want us all to be equal and care for people just how God would've wanted it to
I’m not religious but I totally agree with this! No group deserves to be judged by extremists. I have lots of religious friends who are honestly the best, most loving support system I could dream of. I know that those who use religion to spread hate are few, and the majority follow the love and acceptance it was meant to preach! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
The problem is that people now consider that "not supporting= hate" i will never treat someone different for their preferences, but that doesnt mean i approve their ways. I dont support lgbt+ ideals, i dont share their believes, but that doesnt mean i hate them.
Helpless Waiter Ok define Christian a Christian is a person who follows the Bible wether they like the rules or not. Second a Christian does not change God's rules for their advantage they submit and accept the rules that God made. The problem is with the Christian that accept homosexuality is that they are not Christians they are putting there own inturpritation on God's laws. Which is wrong that's what Satan did inturpritated gods rule to eat the forbidden fruit. I hate to say it but anyone who changes God's laws are not Christians I'd even say they are Satan's workers used to deceive the lost and confused.
I understand. I live with my mom in NC. I came out as bi to her a little over a year ago. I thought I’d be kicked out; I’m still here. My dad and stepmom live in Raleigh and I see them every other weekend and they love me regardless.

As a professor, I may use this as a great 15 min or so presentation of this is the way to make a point a REALLY stick. OK, me too, I have a been a dues-paying, card=carrying member for years ... been waiting on my copy of THE AGENDA forever -- you are right! I love the UNITY for all that you bring at the end. You could be a great stand=up comic, but I think I like the realness and the sincerelity that you bring.

@Something Diabolical yeah, non of that is happening, at least not on a scale worth mentioning. It's propaganda, but you want to know what is grooming? Beauty pageants, the fact you don't even bat an eye when it comes to that just proves that you have a bias.
yeah I'm sure our rights will never be taken away and I'm sure people will never pass any laws (especially not in texas and florida) that undermine our equality to other American citizens. In america lgbtq people are always treated well with no exceptions for sure definitely honestly though, america has it better than a lot of other countries and I do feel lucky to live here; even if many people and politicians still discriminate I could easily have been born in a country where I would be stoned to death for being lgbt.

@@thebacteriawasbeatentodeath Yes! Biden's carrying on selling the weapons to Saudi Arabia- for their corrupt war in Yemen etc and where the Saudi's are pushing their abhorrent form of Islam to many parts of the world.- for oil.

I'm not implying the Democrats would hinder GLBTQ rights, but they may not enhance them much more? - Oh yeah, better than the more corrupt republicans, but things can turn back for the worst in social justice... Just look how political the judiciary is? This aspect is not in the interests of democracy- the Roe verses Wade current debacle by people that should not be political in justice. You could get another Trump, but worse. The 2 % get to decide who's up for running. That's what it's like in China!
@@Mcfreddo I agree that the political climate in the usa is far from ideal, to put it lightly. Seeing that the democratic party has generally helped greatly to enhance lgbtq rights, I feel like the party will hopefully push for more of that in the future, but what you say is definitely possible and this is all just speculation anyway. I also agree that things look like they could easily take the turn for the worst in terms of human rights. The roe v wade case especially is pretty scary.
Why do people think that an agenda means that 100% of the people are on board The government makes up a tiny section of the total population but the people working there have the power to decide the lives of the rest of the people. You just need a few people in charge to push things and make changes without the rest of the group realizing they're working on it.
Well, then RBG died and Trump packed the court with elections already in progress. Believe me, they will come after LGBT+ rights! If you want irony, look up the religions of the Supreme Court members. There are a lot of Catholics, the religion that protected child abusers in their ranks of their church, consider us immoral and want our rights done away with. Hypocrisy!
I've run across some of his columns. He is the voice of reason. I have gained so much respect for him. I saw his name on this and I had to watch it. What a wonderful message!

THAT ROCK IS SO CUTE OMG
This guy has the right to live by me if he wants to but what if I don't want to live by him? What then? The FED decides?
Why do people think that an agenda means that 100% of the people are on board The government makes up a tiny section of the total population but the people working there have the power to decide the lives of the rest of the people. You just need a few people in charge to push things and make changes without the rest of the group realizing they're working on it.
very dissapointing comment section, i hope yall open your mind a bit more
If, "Can't see the forest for the trees." were a person
Arnold... That guy was amazing. Citation in video lol.
Beautiful 🇺🇸🏳️🌈
This is my favorite TED Talk
Outstanding presentation of the topic to the point👏👏👏
Today we celebrate! Equal rights granted by the constitution!
Well, then RBG died and Trump packed the court with elections already in progress. Believe me, they will come after LGBT+ rights! If you want irony, look up the religions of the Supreme Court members. There are a lot of Catholics, the religion that protected child abusers in their ranks of their church, consider us immoral and want our rights done away with. Hypocrisy!
THIS GUY IS GENIUS I'M DYING
Hamilton was literally a bi icon but no one teaches that in school 🧐
Literally
Its sad that my african brother ( i bet he doesnt like being called african ) is the mouth piece for this.
I cry.
Brilliant and insightful presentation! Thank you for your humanity. ❤️
who’s watching in 1954
Nah mate 1945
1099 my dude
Personally I’m watching in 0.00000000001 seconds BC Like the Big Bang wasn’t that long ago
Clearly a few homophobes in these comments.
@@ourladypeace3 Sorry for the confusion, I meant that the homophobes are in 1954.
This was beautiful. Sitting in my room cracking up and cheering all alone. I probably sound nuts to my neighbors. X'D
Sarcasm: Oh my god how dare the gays drink coffee and wake up to go to school or work!

I've run across some of his columns. He is the voice of reason. I have gained so much respect for him. I saw his name on this and I had to watch it. What a wonderful message!
He and you are so delusional... wow
Yea, the same way feminism is for equality. Equality does not mean special privileges.
Stakeaphobic Z did anyone here ask for special privileges? Don’t know why you brought that up.
CorXIII Felinike it’s identity politics, when is it not about special privileges.
Stakeaphobic Z What ‘special privileges’ are we demanding?
@@genghissmith4949 You're an obvious advocate, go ahead and pick one yourself.
Stakeaphobic Z So you lied when you claimed we want special privileges.....got it!
I love how he used humor! I think it was great!
This is an awesome talk but the terms that he uses, "Transgendered" is not correct
What's the correct term?
betty crocker transgendered is an adjective and seems pretty right but I feel like people may be upset for a moral reason perhaps? I don’t know
It WAS considered correct, he likely picked it up growing up and never switched over when the terms changed
@@bettywhiter1020 The correct term is "trangender", since it's an adjective.
Brilliant, thought provoking and funny. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you. So very interesting. Hats off to you.
Trust me we don't have an agenda 😂😂
We do, but it's everyday things, like brushing teeth, eating breakfast, et cetera et cetera.
@@azazel166 So our agenda is to live? Lol
@@dans3.macabre Yes, which doesn't exactly sit well with narcissists who think that life should follow a set pattern.
Some parts of lgbt community have certain agenda. Sadly
@@mxpofficial3443 We don't talk about them lol
