Her energy is reminiscent of Sista Souljah. She gave me chills. Awesome Post!

 

..young sista is definitely wielding the spirit of mother harriet tubman - will you go forward with me to freedom, or will you stay here and die? - ayi'nah ford breathes fiah!!!
 

 

i watched it yesterday and the speakers made important view points. Being homophobic is almost the same as being racist

 

There is a war going on and gay people in all 50 states should have equal rights to get married, who is the goverment to tell anyone who you can and can't love. My dream in America is to see gay marriage become legal in all 50 states, my fiancee and I are planning to get married in Iowa when he get's out of prison and I couldn't be happier with my life and my relationship. I however as a gay man in America do not support the idea to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell in the military because President Clinton set that bill in motion for a reason to end discrimination in the military. I believe that in certain places and situations that its not ok to discuss your sex life and sexual preference especially at the work place which is what the military is a work place, its a job and we should never be discussing who we're sleeping with at the job
 

Dear Darryl, Thanks so much for sharing. What a beautiful speech.I see my self as part of The "LIGHT" because as Ayi'nah said labels and age don't matter in the fight for what is right.
 

WOW... ELECTRIFYING.
 

spoken like a women with real passion, touching and yet refreshing.Thx D! kiss
 

I literally cried when i heard the speeches. This is a big step for us even though we go thru this everyday. and i'm in the south so i know how homophobics are here. We will keep going til everyone knows we are here to stay!!!
 

I will be glad when the day our society focuses on more important issues like will our country be here in 5 years instead of trying to hold back people who love one another and dictate their lives because of some bullshit laws they made up to torment yet another class of people they deem necessary to control.
 

This is really so important to all of us! Thanks for putting this up Darryl so many people needed to see this. You are becoming quite the activist keep it up. Mad love and respect
 

Great speech. Unfortunate last name.
 

Wow, what a wonderful message. She's right...the youth will help bring change an equality. Indiana has been a red since...forever! All our college towns won Obama my state. I never thought I'd see that happen in my lilfetime. Hopefully, I will get to see the GLBT community get equal fundamental rights. There is nothing anyone can say(including my fam)that will make me understand or accept blatant discrimination! I'm ready to do my part. Glad I got to see this vid. Thanks D!
