I was fortunate enough to hear this live and it is just as amazing listening to it again. The room of 3000 was definitely energized during his presentation, but I know that I was truly moved by his words.
My first impression when I heard Tom is dating a guy 20years older was like really? what a waste of Tom. Then I saw the picture of them together, Dustin seemed too old for Tom he could be his father. Tom you have an unusual taste and I was bewildered. After a few searches I found out that Dustin is a well-known screenwriter, director, film and television producer. Saw another picture of the couple and I thought hey this guy Dustin actually looks decent and rather cool. Still, why Tom is all into him, he could find a more suitable man. O how wrong I was, how quick was I to judge a person by his looks and age. I didn't know who he was. Dustin Lance Black, what an incredible man. So rich and impeccable in expressions and speech. Standing firm and strong. What a voice!
Tyler - as a 40ish man that likes 20ish guys; I can understand your first though. Mine was questionable as well. - But, I do like Dustin & Tom together, and I do hope that Dustin helps Tom in the "public" category; Since he lacks some "though"
Sometimes people look too hard at the person and make decisions, you have to get to know a person because outside they may not be desirable to some but internally they have a beautiful personality, Looks and age are not everything, i wish both Tom and Dustin a long and happy relationship..
Wow, this is one of the most moving UA-cam videos that I have ever seen. It is so inspirational and so real. I am not someone who easily gets emotional, but my heart broke when his brother died. Thank you Dustin Lance Black for standing up for equal rights for all!
Brilliant - intelligent. lucid, deeply moving - what an incredible young man - what a brilliant President he would make!.I think that speech stands besides those of Martin Luther King and the best of John Kennedy - inspirational and profound and culture changing
Lance's speeches just keep getting better & better, He continues to fight the real fight, for equality. I applaud the tenacity this one had. His rise to popularity should continue to do nothing but rise!
What a great speech...this will change...one day, no child will have to worry whether their Mother will still Love them for being who the Universe made them...
Tom Daley couldn't have found a better man to come out with! I didn't properly realise who he was! but now I understand why Tom adores him so much. He's an inspiration.
This was by far the most inspirational and heart touching speech I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it is not only in America where we can find this social and cultural delay, but rather many other countries in the world. As you said, progress might be slow, but I hope, some day, we might recognize people for what they do and what they really are rather than for whatever sexual orientation they have. Keep doing what you do because you are just great at it. Specially giving this incredibly inspirational speeches. You just won another unconditional fan in Barcelona.
What a intelligent,brillant,brave and touching speech,equally true for Texas and for so many states in world,even in European Union,like Polland,a very catholic and homophobic country! Here,in Portugal,the lgbt citizens have equal rigths in almost everything,but we have homophobics too,the fight must go on and brave,BIG MENS like Dustin and Tom, help a lot,thanks for that,and thank you Ariel for this video! A big hug from Lisbon...
I was truly ''happy''when Tom Daley came out and told us about Dustin....I now know what they see in each other..what a beautiful couple.Dustin's speech was awe inspiring...May they both 'go far' in their personal and public life.God Bless Dustin and Tom's family...R.I.P. Dear brother.God be with all L.G.B.T people.Barrie in England.
Thank you Lance for all you do for civil and human rights. I had listened to your speeches before, but have never commented on them. Now I feel I have to after I read so many stupid things by coward anonymous people. You are a great guy, and you deserve the love Tom feels for you. Against all that hate you two have already been together almost a year, and I wish you two all the best for the rest of your lives. Lance, many people hate you, but way more people love you. I think that is something you have to put up with when you are in the public eye. Once again, you MAN are fighting for the rights of your haters, haters who hate closeted behind their screen and in their basement.
Dear Tyler, I did and thought the same as you, and I also saying now, this two men, will change really the opnion of millions. I wish and I pray that they will stay together to make all of our kind proud and stronger we ever were. Caspar
THANK YOU, Neville, for posting this great video. And THANK YOU to Lance for your magnificent and tireless work on our behalf. This speech is one for the ages!! Riveting, awesome, compelling.
99% of the commenters on here I agree with wholeheartedly and you can guess which one disgusts me to the core (not wasting any more of my precious time on them). If it wasn't for being British and having watched tom grow up and followed his career I would never known about this guy. I don't know how I didn't know about him because I have been and still are a LGBT supporter for many years. I've never heard such passion and in awe of him. I must admit I was initially taken aback with the age difference, but then saw pictures of them together and I suddenly just saw two people in love and who the hell am I or anyone too judge their relationship. 1- they are happy and never saw tom look so happy. 2 -they are both adults and most importantly 3- none of my God Damn business or anyone else's but there's. Love isn't a number or a gender it's love.
Wow. That was amazing. We need more passionate people like him in the world. What an amazing man
I was fortunate enough to hear this live and it is just as amazing listening to it again. The room of 3000 was definitely energized during his presentation, but I know that I was truly moved by his words.

Uhm...You are not Tyler Oakley.
Sometimes people look too hard at the person and make decisions, you have to get to know a person because outside they may not be desirable to some but internally they have a beautiful personality, Looks and age are not everything, i wish both Tom and Dustin a long and happy relationship..
But Tyler, Dustin does not look a day over 28 or so.
