Jane Lynch, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Billie Jean King, George Takei, Wanda Sykes, Zachary Quinto, and Chaz Bono share why they're supporting President Obama and why Mitt Romney isn't the choice for them.
Tears in our eyes. What a legend.
I'm all for gay marriage..I supported it when I lived in Massachusetts and I lobbied for it in California. We must keep our eyes on ALL of our rights though, so please, regardless of who you vote for....never refuse to stand up.
Beautiful. I cried. Thumbs up if you cried too.
I cant believe i was such a gay basher it sounds so stupid now.
As a veteran, a business owner, a LGBQT ally, an American, a soon to be adoptive parent, and a Human being: I approve of Obama.
I think voting for Obama isn't just for further improving us as a country, but also as human beings and as a society. Romney would throw away any progress that Obama has made and kick this country into full reverse. I learned what tolerance was on my own at a young age after Ellen came out and was discussing her hate mail during an interview. What Obama has done may seem small to some, but all together they are HUGE steps in the right direction, and it can only get better. Obama 2012!
Outstanding and compelling video!! Married mom of 3 here. My husband and I are so happy our children will grow up knowing that their President took a stand for what is right and that our country is moving forward. We raised them to believe that ALL are created equal. Now they see how it should be always.
I'm Canadian but if I could vote for you Obama, I would. I've always supported you and wish I could vote for you. I hope you get your second term.
i love this!! this is so sweet and makes you cry. I hope with all my heart that this country never again goes backwards, and that our children go out and speak up and don't let the bullies win!
This has brought me to tears. My heart is swelling with hope for humanity. Thank you.
Whenever my close minded step dad makes comments about gays fighting in the military or gays in general I come back to watching this video because it makes me proud to be myself!
OBAMA 2012
Seriously... this made my cry. It is so moving and special to not only me but to so many others.
We ARE ALL EQUAL. Love one another, and please DO NOT vote for Romney. A 2012 politician with a 1950s mentality.
Brings a tear to my eye and hope to my heart that as a society we could be moving in the right direction against all those small minded people who would have us go backwards.
Weather you like it or not, WE ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE! Gay, straight, bi, black, white, mexican, transgender, polka dotted, half-animal...were all going to the SAME place when we die which is heaven- our own heaven. It does not matter what religion you are- religion is man-made. Thank you Obama for being a man and standing up for us as a whole. And for the people who support anti-gay rights and hate...open your eyes and get over it.
Beautiful. My husband and I strongly support this. If our children were to grow up, we would want them to have the same benefits we do.
hearing this message, brought me to tears, i want everyone to have equal rights, no matter WHO you love! people give me crap for supporting him, as a woman i need my rights to be thought of, and EVERYONE needs a voice!!
When Obama said that he supported gay marriage I cried and I'm not even gay but one of my best friends is, and his parents don't approve of it. He was all depressed because of lack of parental support, but when Obama said that it made him feel so much better. He felt equal, and like his rights matter just as much as everyone else's do. Living in a state that isn't supportive of gay rights, it reassures us all that things truly are changing weather conservatives want to believe it or not.
Aw, this video brought tears to my eyes. It was wonderfully made, and incredibly moving. If only I could vote.
Thank you for this! I am so moved by this and thank you all for doing this and wish that when I was growing up that it would have been so much more open to all of the issues that come with being gay.
No president does everything right. But this, this wonderful thing, is a huge leap forward. From a Heterosexual to all you homosexual individuals and couples out there, Congratulations on finally getting some of the fair treatment you deserve.
this made me cry. finally someone is doing something. I wish I was American just so I could vote.
I have never felt more strongly about a presidential candidate than I do about Barack Obama. He (and his adversary) are driving me to vote for the first time.
This is wonderful!! The world needs more acceptance!!
I'm from the UK and I'm voting for Obama haha!
My country Scotland recently voted to allow gay marriage and I'm very proud of this. I'm a Christian heterosexual and the reason I tell you this is because people should see that you don't need to be gay to support gay rights, and the God I believe in is a loving God.
Some of my best friends are gay and I can't wait to be there on their wedding day.
George Takei, every word he speaks is beautiful.
Very well put together. This was lovely.
Jesse!!! I'm crying!!
I love ya'll! Ms. Lynch, you're absolutely right about Thomas Jefferson, on so many levels. I wish more U.S. Citizens knew of and embraced his vision for All. I'd like to thank each and everyone of you for opening doors of opportunity. You've given us a voice to be heard. I can't find the words to thank ya'll enough. For every one of you, there are millions of us making a stand too. I too appreciate the compassion & love President & First Lady Obama & The Bidens give Us. Be Blessed! Johnny
The thing is that America has such a huge influence on the rest of the world, and if you have a leader who supports gay marriage, maybe we could be fortunate enough to have that spread across the globe. Just hoping.
This is inspirational, thank you for making this video.
Vote for Obama. Vote even if you never voted before!
It does make a difference. A huge difference. When you're told by your own family, the very people who are supposed to care for you unconditionally, that you don't deserve the same as everyone else does, even the simplest of words from someone like Obama makes a huge difference. I'm not a political person. I don't enjoy politics in the least. But I will stand by Obama on no uncertain terms for the very fact that he has stood by me.
As a straight ally, this brought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes.
Thank you, Mr. President, for providing my classmates a sense of belonging and hope.
You've saved two lives that I personally know. Please continue to do so
How are there no comments?
I mean, can we please talk about how amazing Jesse was while he was tearing up in that?
Or how terrified all these people are that their rights might be revoked?
I wish I was american just so I could vote for Obama.
I'm glad T was represented, if not the eternally invisible B. And I love the calm and logic and emotion of the people who are speaking.
This is so moving...so sensible...so socially and morally correct. it brings tears. We can't let it slip away by allowing a reactionary to run our country. Obama is the only choice...for many reasons, this being one.
This is fantastic. What a great message.
How could 65 people dislike this?
Powerful - Jesse Tyler Ferguson, you had me crying with hope.
Acceptance and tolerance are always great things! You cannot stop this momentum!
The amount of positive, uplifting comments is so inspiring.
This just is so beautiful, I couldn't help but cry with joy.
You see that Romney! You see that! This is America today, not 1955.
I am so proud of our President for standing up for equal rights for ALL people. No discrimination for ANY reason. What could be more American than that?
this made me cry. the good kind of tears. race creed and sexual orientation dont make you a good or bad person and I am proud to support a president that understands this.
This was awesome. Gays have been under attack for FAR too long, and now we finally have a president that supports gay marriage. Or, as it should be known, marriage. We cannot move backwards. We, as a nation, gay, straight, bi, and transgender, must reelect President Obama and move Forward to fight the good fight- one for equal rights for all. Thank you, President Obama for believing in equality for all!
This almost makes me wish I was an American so I could vote for President Obama!
This is exactly what I dreamed when I had the audacity to HOPE for positive change under Obama. Thank you, Mr. President.
I had already planned to vote for him again.
People try to say his support of the LGBT community is only to help him get re-elected but it's not the popular view on a lot of the country and the compassion him and his wife and shown has been from day one and not just around election time.
I think the capacity for compassion, empathy and good is something innate for most and has to be taught to others... I don't think Romney has even learned it yet.
I get emotional every time a leader like Obama is accepting of the LGBT community. It means so much to me to know that there are figures like him out there that accept me and want me to have the same rights as everyone else.
3:37 This made me break down and cry.
People just don't realize how powerful words can be, especially coming from the President. LGBT people deserve to be happy and have equal justice. Again, thanks you Mr. President.
It is so frustrating to be TWO MONTHS away from turning 18 for this election
I can't stop crying. So amazing. Thank you Obama! #Obama2012
It is beautiful to see so many wonderful and powerful public role models. I love it.
those emails i get spammed with are awesome. i love finding stuff like this :)
If 1 of us isn't free, none of us are.
You can also cast a vote for Gary Johnson :)
Britain here, wish i could vote!!!!!
Thank You for sharing and caring.
Jane. Jesse. Billie Jean. George. Wanda. Zachary. Chaz...
For you, I give my Slow Clap for the Month.
This made me cry, I love it.
People always try to tell me one way or another why I should vote for someone, and I tell them I'm voting for Barack Obama because I care most about social issues. No matter what happens in the economy or whatever, if our country still doesn't have basic human rights like the right to marry who we want or the right to our own bodies (women's reproductive rights) then how can we expect to move forward on any other issues. Barack Obama 2012.
The world is sitting, watching and hoping for Obama to win. Please America, Britain implores you to make the right choice. This isn't about being gay, this is about doing right.
Gay rights are human rights. Thank you for saying that Mr President.
This makes me cry. Why is equality such a hard concept for some? :( I would never vote against someones rights.
Beautiful, I am so happy that homosexuals are so supported, it is an awful thing that there are some people who are not treated equally in society.
Wow! So inspirational.
Oh Jesse Tyler Ferguson
LOVE with all my heart. Brought me to tears!
Sign me up! Awesome video - way to go Team Obe!
I can't wait for November so I can vote for this wonderful human being.
Now President Obama, hire me so I can afford to get married! *LOL!*
This made me cry. It's so beautiful. Obama 2012!
It is about time people treat each other with respect and accept the fact that we are born differently. In a hundred years we will be ashamed of ourselves, when we look back to the times when we allowed discrimination of homosexual people.
Great video!! This is the number one reason I support our president. All American Citizens (and potential citizens) deserve equal rights!!!!!!
love you guys, so inspiring ;)
Thank you President Obama! Voted already, Obama/Biden - for this, and many other reasons.
This film is great.
This is so amazing. I live in Canada and although SS marriage is legal, our PM is conservative and NOT tolerant. I hope hope hope Obama is re-elected. This video made me tear up and feel so thankful for my US LGBT friends.
Takei brought me here.
As a LGBT ally, my vote for Barack Obama will be, in part, due to his stance on HUMAN RIGHTS!
Equality for ALL!
This is an amazing video, very inspirational.
This is amazing!!
I'm still writing in Ron Paul because I'm a libertarian stick in the mud. However, this is a very good video and does highlight some of the best successes of our current president.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Brilliant!! And I totally agree.
I don't agree with most of Obama's policies, but this is great. I think gay people should be able to get married the same as I can,.
Amazing. Beautiful. I feel so proud of our country for this step forward together.
Thank you Mr. President, Really, for supporting Human and Civil Rights!
I am so happy for you, having such a courageous, human, friendly, and smart president. I wish we had "an Obama" in my country! Preserve your rights, American friends!
It's amazing how many people are now so comfortable, due to the strong leadership of Barack Obama, that they feel they are able to wager on the likes of Mitt Romney.
Thank you President Obama.
President Obama gives me such hope. He has stood up for us--for our rights as equal citizens of this great country--time and time again. Now, it is time for us to stand up for him. Please VOTE in November. VOTE to keep your rights. VOTE for change. VOTE for hope. #Obama2012
I understand why she did what she did--really I do, but it would have changed a lot for me if Billie Jean had been honest in the way Martina was. I have the most amazing respect for Martina, who NEVER denied her orientation when she had SO much more to lose than Billie Jean, who lied.
so inspiring!
Say Takei. He is something else.
Many states registration deadlines have past or are about to pass. REGISTER TO VOTE TO PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS!
Thank you for speaking for the truth...
