Thank you, everybody. Please, you're making me blush. (Laughter.) |
| 00:12:29 |
|
We love you, Barack! |
| 00:12:30 |
|
I love you back. (Applause.) |
| 00:12:39 |
|
To Joe Solmonese, who's doing an outstanding job on behalf of HRC. (Applause.) To my great friend... |
| 00:13:46 |
|
Thank you so much, all of you. It is a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady GaGa. (Applause.)... |
| 00:14:55 |
|
For nearly 30 years, you've advocated on behalf of those without a voice. That's not easy. For despite... |
| 00:15:55 |
|
That's the story of the movement for fairness and equality, and not just for those who are gay, but... |
| 00:16:37 |
|
It's the story of the Stonewall protests, when a group of citizens -- (applause) -- when a group of... |
| 00:17:36 |
|
This story, this fight continue now. And I'm here with a simple message: I'm here with you in that... |
| 00:18:50 |
|
Now, I've said this before, I'll repeat it again -- it's not for me to tell you to be patient, any... |
| 00:19:47 |
|
For while some may wish to define you solely by your sexual orientation or gender identity alone,... |
| 00:20:42 |
|
So I know you want me working on jobs and the economy and all the other issues that we're dealing... |
| 00:21:14 |
|
My expectation is that when you look back on these years, you will see a time in which we put a stop... |
| 00:22:28 |
|
And there's no more poignant or painful reminder of how important it is that we do so than the loss... |
| 00:22:58 |
|
This struggle has been long. Time and again we faced opposition. Time and again, the measure was defeated... |
| 00:24:03 |
|
It's a testament to the decade-long struggle of Judy and Dennis, who tonight will receive a tribute... |
| 00:25:02 |
|
But we know there's far more work to do. We're pushing hard to pass an inclusive employee non-discrimination... |
| 00:26:00 |
|
We are reinvigorating our response to HIV/AIDS here at home and around the world. (Applause.) We're... |
| 00:26:58 |
|
We are moving ahead on Don't Ask Don't Tell. (Applause.) We should not be punishing patriotic Americans... |
| 00:27:47 |
|
We cannot afford to cut from our ranks people with the critical skills we need to fight any more than... |
| 00:28:46 |
|
It is no secret that issues of great concern to gays and lesbians are ones that raise a great deal... |
| 00:29:34 |
|
And that is why -- that's why I support ensuring that committed gay couples have the same rights and... |
| 00:30:57 |
|
For the struggle waged by the Human Rights Campaign is about more than any policy we can enshrine... |
| 00:31:40 |
|
If we are honest with ourselves we'll admit that there are too many who do not yet know in their lives... |
| 00:32:23 |
|
So, tonight I'm hopeful -- because of the activism I see in this room, because of the compassion I've... |
| 00:32:40 |
|
Soon after the protests at Stonewall 40 years ago, the phone rang in the home of a soft-spoken elementary... |
| 00:33:40 |
|
And not long after, Jeanne would be marching side-by-side with her son through the streets of New... |
| 00:33:58 |
|
And so, after that march on the anniversary of the Stonewall protests, amidst the violence and the... |
| 00:35:28 |
|
Tonight, somewhere in America, a young person, let's say a young man, will struggle to fall to sleep,... |
| 00:36:21 |
|
I believe the future is bright for that young person. For while there will be setbacks and bumps along... |
| 00:37:00 |
|
Thank you for the work you're doing. God bless you. God bless America. (Applause.) |
