ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
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. czcams.com/video/-Lp6H4YYN-k/video.html
When do we get a glimpse of Lance? Do you have the timestamp?
@@emiliasanchez3637 around the 38 minute
@@emiliasanchez3637 when the man in the audience asks the first question ,Lance is behind him
@@leslieshand4509 thanks!
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 !
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.
Started tearing up when he talked about his dad 😞❤️
And now he‘s a dad himself with little robbie and lance forming a family 😍❤️
I watched this after he won gold. His determination and his dad guided him to that gold. Tom Dailey is the world champion
Tom is always the same where ever he is. What you see is what you get.
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.
@@chrish12345 :D not wrong
He's, quite simply, so very special.. Hard not to love him!!
So true. Word by word.
I’m here after he won Olympic gold 🥇 at Tokyo Olympics ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Tom the golden boy ♥️♥️
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.
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
Outstanding talk, Tom. Articulate, funny, sincere, humble. A real champ
Are Tom and Lance just full on orators now? What a fucking power couple.
I love how lance was at the back just looking at Tom like such a proud Husband !! The love in his eyes were so obvious
When is Lance in the back
@@mark_c28 Behind the questioner at 38.02
@@paulybarr thanks. There is also a Lance lookalike in the front row on the left up the front.
He is so freaking adorable.
He is absolutely brilliant. What an incredible man.
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.
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
OBE now
Nice speech, and full of humor. I like when Tom said at 39:42 "Diving is a pretty gay sport, realy". Hilarious !!!
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.
It was great that Lance was there supporting Tom
Outstanding delivery, Tom. What a gift to mankind! Thank you for being you.
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.
the fact that i’m watching this literally a year later in 2019 the day after i watched lance’s address at the same place i love them
This is Me I am here doing the same a year after you :)
38:02 Lance sits in the back!! Awww
Respect. My heart is full.
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.
Have you seen Tom's husband's speech at Oxford?

Tom was very charming and intelligent in his address and Q&A.
"...if it all goes tits up, there's cheesecake."
I might get this as a tattoo. Words to live by!
Can someone put a time where he said that please so i don't have to watch the whole thing x
47:37
Thank you!!!
Tom Daley, you're such a great role model. 🙏🏻
I LOVE ❤️ Tom and Lance. They are so lovely. GOD BLESS
Great job Tom!! I'm sure being late was a little nerve wracking but you pulled it off.
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💜
38:00 Lance!!!!
Love his honesty he’s really adorable
he loved his Dad so much
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!!
"At the end of the day, if it all goes tits up, there's cheesecake" 😂💜
Tom , You did a good job! Well done 👏
Such a great guy. Love him.
fantastic speech Tom .
He is an athlete but looks how he delivers the message and speech like he's a pro speaker
Proud of him 👏🏻💘
Tom's father also gifted Tom with his lovely sense of humor
Ikr, lol, he's so funny. 😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tom is such an inspiration! Love this guy.
Tom this was lovely to watch your an excellent public speaker
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!!!😘
Love this guy forever 💗
BRAVO he is truly a hero .... same thoughts.
Rene short curious how is he a hero, caregiver nurse fire police military doctor mothers fathers those are heros,
Lovely speech Tom
Great great great great speech and answers 👏👏👏👏
Loved this!!💫
I have tears rolling down my cheeks listening his story !
Tom is a very very generous man ❤️
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.
Very eloquent.
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.
Really wise comments, Tom. Thanks.
I m very energetic when I listen while he is speaking 👌
So inspirational.
Good show Tom!
This made me cry
Such a lovely guy 💖
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.
A great watch Tom. Brilliant speech x
Great Guy Great Job!!!!!
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.
love you so much Tom , you are so smart and funny guy
😁 Excellent presentation Tom!
Such an inspiration!
That was amazing!✌❤
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
You are an amazing human being Debbie! I hope you get well soon! Sending all the love your way
Love it! 💪

Such a good delivery into the pool
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
very interesting. thanks, Tom for being honest and real!!
Empzé viendo los canales de ejercicio de Tom Daley y terminé viendo sus otros canales en CZcams 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!!.
Tom, I always liked your vlogs. Thank you for sharing this offering with us, I now have a greater respect for you. Thank you!
Excellent!!!
love him so much
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..
Great interview,
thank you for being honest
At the end of the day, if all goes tits up, there's cheesecake. Words to live by!
Yes Tom
i am crying.
Good job Tom keep up the fine work.🏳🌈💜💜
You have good memories of your dad.
He’s a lovely guy
Such an inspiration💖💖
That was extraordinary. My coming out stories seem so feeble compared to what you went through. I really do admire you. Congratulations on life!
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!
Nice one!
Brilliant!
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.
Love this
Tom is an inspiration for everybody. I am proud of him and what he represents for the LGBT community. He's an incredible human being.
Great athlete, great speech. Congratulations on your 2020 Olympic win, Tom.
The best.
Omg I would be so nervous speaking there 😱
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
YOUR DAD IS VERY PROUD OF YOU IN HEAVEN. CONGRATULATIONS THOMAS DALEY!
