    Visibility is so important to anyone struggling to come to terms with who they are.

    To be honest the moment before I’ve seen the speech on this video. I’ve feeling so hopeless, sadness, desperate, and no self confidence
    But I have to admitted that after i saw your speech on this video, It’s very helpful and cheer me up again, thank you so very much to make me feel very warm welcome to the OGBTQ Community And to be proud to express myself that I’m a Queer. Best Wishes 🙏🌈💜

    i hope hollywood doesn't change her. what a down to earth, humble woman! i am happy she found the love of her life and wish her nothing but happiness. we as human beings should support the LGBTQ family. they are attacked every day!

    I’m going this power and my dad was okay with it but my mom said she wouldn’t love me if I liked girls and I can’t come out because I am not going to get loved 😞🥺

      I'm so sorry you mum said that to you. You are worthy of love whether she realizes it or not. Your chosen family is out there just waiting for you to arrive and I promise they already love you.

      WTF are you talking about? This wasn't a surprise. She knew she was receiving this honor and she prepared remarks, so what? I mean, are you serious with this?
