0:00:21.205,0:00:22.927
Hello!

0:00:23.217,0:00:25.087
Oh, good. No one's started drinking yet.

0:00:25.087,0:00:27.732
Everyone's feeling kind of perky [br]and excited.

0:00:27.732,0:00:29.880
Good, for I hope you'll remember [br]what we talk about,

0:00:29.880,0:00:31.141
at least up to this point.

0:00:31.141,0:00:33.687
After that, you're on your own.

0:00:33.687,0:00:36.534
When I was about sixteen years old,

0:00:36.534,0:00:38.818
I can remember [br]flipping through channels at home,

0:00:38.818,0:00:40.299
during summer vacation,

0:00:40.299,0:00:42.669
looking for a movie to watch on HBO.

0:00:42.669,0:00:45.861
And how many of you remember [br]Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

0:00:45.861,0:00:47.526
Oh, yeah. Great movie, right?

0:00:47.526,0:00:49.529
Well, I saw Matthew Broderick [br]on the screen,

0:00:49.529,0:00:51.128
and so I thought, "Sweet!

0:00:51.128,0:00:53.673
Ferris Bueller. I'll watch this!"

0:00:53.673,0:00:56.410
It wasn't Ferris Bueller. [br]And forgive me, Matthew Broderick.

0:00:56.410,0:00:58.630
I know you've done other movies [br]besides Ferris Bueller,

0:00:58.630,0:01:00.561
but that's how I remember you. [br]You're Ferris.

0:01:00.561,0:01:02.807
But you weren't doing [br]"Ferrisy" things at the time.

0:01:02.807,0:01:06.292
You were doing gay things at the time.

0:01:06.292,0:01:09.593
He was in a movie [br]called Torch Song Trilogy.

0:01:09.593,0:01:12.186
And Torch Song Trilogy [br]was based on a play

0:01:12.186,0:01:14.135
about this drag queen,

0:01:14.135,0:01:16.455
who, essentially, was looking for love.

0:01:16.455,0:01:17.678
Love and respect.

0:01:17.678,0:01:19.794
That's what the whole film was about.

0:01:19.794,0:01:21.604
And, as I'm watching it, I'm realizing

0:01:21.604,0:01:24.396
that they're talking about me.

0:01:24.396,0:01:25.803
Not the drag queen part.

0:01:25.803,0:01:28.359
I'm not shaving my hair for anyone.

0:01:28.359,0:01:31.668
But the gay part, [br]the friendly love and respect,

0:01:31.668,0:01:35.520
the part about trying to find [br]your place in the world.

0:01:35.520,0:01:37.754
So, as I'm watching this,

0:01:37.754,0:01:41.934
I see this powerful scene [br]that brought me to tears,

0:01:41.934,0:01:45.419
and it's stuck with me [br]for the past 25 years.

0:01:45.419,0:01:48.814
And it's this quote [br]that the main character, Arnold,

0:01:48.814,0:01:50.376
tells his mother,

0:01:50.376,0:01:52.966
as they're fighting about who he is

0:01:52.966,0:01:55.504
and the life that he lives:

0:01:56.574,0:02:00.911
"There's one more thing [br]you'd better understand.

0:02:00.911,0:02:03.951
I have taught myself to sew,

0:02:03.951,0:02:06.656
cook, fix plumbing, build furniture.

0:02:06.656,0:02:09.966
I can even pat myself on the back, [br]when necessary.

0:02:09.966,0:02:14.148
Also, I don't have [br]to ask anyone for anything.

0:02:14.148,0:02:15.742
There's nothing I need from anyone,

0:02:15.742,0:02:19.336
except for love and respect,

0:02:19.336,0:02:21.480
and anyone who can't give me [br]those two things

0:02:21.480,0:02:24.469
has no place in my life."

0:02:24.469,0:02:28.521
I remember that scene [br]like it was yesterday.

0:02:28.521,0:02:30.590
I was sixteen, I was in tears,

0:02:30.590,0:02:32.207
I was in the closet

0:02:32.207,0:02:34.182
and I'm looking at these two people,

0:02:34.182,0:02:37.079
Ferris Bueller and some guy [br]I'd never seen before,

0:02:37.079,0:02:38.258
(Laughter)

0:02:38.258,0:02:40.321
fighting for love.

0:02:42.901,0:02:45.151
When I finally got to a place in my life

0:02:45.151,0:02:47.359
where I came out and accepted who I was

0:02:47.359,0:02:49.176
-- and was really quite happy, [br]to tell you the truth,

0:02:49.176,0:02:51.686
I was happily gay [br]and I guess that's supposed to be right,

0:02:51.686,0:02:54.089
because "gay" means "happy" too --,

0:02:55.119,0:02:57.608
I realized that a lot of people [br]weren't as gay as I was,

0:02:57.608,0:02:59.098
"gay" being "happy", not "gay" being

0:02:59.098,0:03:00.721
attracted to the same sex.

0:03:00.721,0:03:01.931
(Laughter)

0:03:01.931,0:03:04.629
In fact, I heard [br]that there was a lot of hate

0:03:04.629,0:03:07.213
and a lot of anger [br]and a lot of frustration

0:03:07.213,0:03:10.814
and a lot of fear about who I was

0:03:10.814,0:03:13.902
and the gay lifestyle.

0:03:13.902,0:03:16.100
Now, I'm sitting here [br]trying to figure out,

0:03:16.100,0:03:17.818
"the gay lifestyle", "the gay lifestyle".

0:03:17.818,0:03:20.412
And I keep hearing this word [br]over and over and over again,

0:03:20.412,0:03:22.399
"lifestyle", "lifestyle", lifestyle".

0:03:22.399,0:03:23.975
I've even heard a politicians say

0:03:23.975,0:03:26.722
that the gay lifestyle is a greater threat

0:03:26.722,0:03:29.641
to civilization than terrorism.

0:03:30.241,0:03:32.093
That's when I got scared!

0:03:32.093,0:03:33.349
(Laughter)

0:03:33.349,0:03:35.002
Because I'm thinking,

0:03:35.002,0:03:36.620
"If I'm gay,

0:03:36.620,0:03:39.969
and I'm doing something [br]that's going to destroy civilization,

0:03:39.969,0:03:41.948
I need to figure out what this stuff is

0:03:41.948,0:03:43.933
and I need to stop doing it right now!"

0:03:43.933,0:03:46.777
(Laughter)

0:03:46.777,0:03:49.508
So, I took a look at my life,

0:03:49.508,0:03:52.169
a hard look at my life,

0:03:52.169,0:03:55.072
and I saw some things very disturbing.

0:03:55.576,0:03:59.787
[The Super-Duper Evil Gay Lifestyle] [br](Laughter)

0:03:59.787,0:04:01.630
And I want to begin sharing [br]these evil things

0:04:01.630,0:04:03.323
that I've been doing with you,

0:04:03.323,0:04:05.669
starting with my mornings.

0:04:05.669,0:04:06.877
(Laughter)

0:04:06.877,0:04:09.288
I drink coffee.

0:04:09.288,0:04:10.597
Not only do I drink coffee,

0:04:10.597,0:04:13.195
I know other gay people who drink coffee.

0:04:13.195,0:04:14.676
(Laughter)

0:04:15.706,0:04:18.108
I get stuck in traffic.

0:04:18.788,0:04:21.343
Evil, evil traffic!

0:04:22.103,0:04:25.063
Sometimes I get stuck [br]in lines at airports!

0:04:25.573,0:04:26.989
I look around and I go, "My God!

0:04:26.989,0:04:28.209
Look at all these gay people!

0:04:28.209,0:04:30.080
We're all trapped in these lines,

0:04:30.080,0:04:32.770
these long lines, [br]trying to get into the airplane!

0:04:32.770,0:04:34.555
My God! This lifestyle that I'm living

0:04:34.555,0:04:37.372
is so freaking evil!"

0:04:37.372,0:04:38.812
(Laughter)

0:04:38.812,0:04:40.503
I clean up.

0:04:40.503,0:04:43.503
This is not an actual photograph [br]of my son's room.

0:04:43.503,0:04:45.087
His is messier.

0:04:45.087,0:04:46.963
(Laughter)

0:04:46.963,0:04:48.564
And, because I have a fifteen-year-old,

0:04:48.564,0:04:51.780
all I do is cook, and cook, and cook.

0:04:51.780,0:04:54.129
Any parents out there of teenagers?

0:04:54.129,0:04:56.303
All we do is cook for these people!

0:04:56.303,0:04:59.639
They eat two, three, four dinners a night!

0:04:59.639,0:05:01.618
It's ridiculous! (Laughter)

0:05:01.618,0:05:04.891
This is the gay lifestyle.

0:05:04.891,0:05:06.399
And after I'm done cooking,

0:05:06.399,0:05:08.847
and cleaning, and standing in line,

0:05:08.847,0:05:11.635
and getting stuck in traffic,

0:05:11.635,0:05:14.930
my partner and I, we get together

0:05:14.930,0:05:16.811
and we decide that we're going to go

0:05:16.811,0:05:20.807
and have some wild and crazy fun.

0:05:20.807,0:05:22.902
(Laughter)

0:05:24.302,0:05:28.017
We're used to be in bed before we find out[br]who's eliminated on American Idol.

0:05:28.017,0:05:29.152
(Laughter)

0:05:29.152,0:05:31.332
We have to wake up [br]and find out the next day

0:05:31.332,0:05:35.209
who's still on, [br]because we're too freaking tired

0:05:35.209,0:05:37.238
to hear who stays on.

0:05:37.238,0:05:42.035
This is the super-duper, [br]evil gay lifestyle. (Laughter)

0:05:42.035,0:05:44.731
Run for your heterosexual lives, people!

0:05:44.731,0:05:46.549
(Laughter)

0:05:46.549,0:05:51.868
(Applause)

0:05:54.318,0:05:58.855
When my partner Steve and I [br]first started dating,

0:05:58.855,0:06:02.450
he told me the story about penguins.

0:06:02.450,0:06:05.591
And I didn't know [br]where he was going with it at first.

0:06:05.591,0:06:08.294
He was kind of a little bit nervous [br]when he was sharing it with me.

0:06:08.294,0:06:11.004
But he told me that, [br]when a penguin finds a mate

0:06:11.004,0:06:13.962
that they want to spend [br]the rest of their life with,

0:06:13.962,0:06:15.765
they present them with a pebble.

0:06:15.765,0:06:18.161
The perfect pebble.

0:06:18.161,0:06:19.914
And then he reaches into his pocket

0:06:19.914,0:06:22.483
and he brings this out to me.

0:06:24.003,0:06:26.120
And I looked at it and I was like,

0:06:26.120,0:06:28.480
"This is really cool."

0:06:28.480,0:06:32.130
And he says, "I want to spend [br]the rest of my life with you."

0:06:33.210,0:06:36.396
So, I wear this [br]whenever I have to do something

0:06:36.396,0:06:38.208
that makes me a little nervous,

0:06:38.208,0:06:41.805
like, I don't know, a TEDx talk. (Laughter)

0:06:41.805,0:06:43.772
I wear this when I am apart from him

0:06:43.772,0:06:45.807
for a long period of time,

0:06:45.807,0:06:48.951
and sometimes [br]I just wear it just because.

0:06:49.571,0:06:52.022
How many people out there are in love?

0:06:52.022,0:06:54.498
Anyone in love out there?

0:06:55.238,0:06:56.954
You might be gay.

0:06:56.954,0:06:59.180
(Laughter)

0:06:59.180,0:07:01.111
Because I too am in love

0:07:01.111,0:07:03.385
and, apparently, [br]that's part of the gay lifestyle

0:07:03.385,0:07:05.981
I warned you about. (Laughter)

0:07:05.981,0:07:10.845
(Applause)

0:07:11.535,0:07:14.215
You may want to tell your spouse,

0:07:14.215,0:07:17.304
who, if they're in love, [br]might be gay as well.

0:07:17.304,0:07:19.500
How many of you are single?

0:07:19.500,0:07:20.856
Any single people out there?

0:07:20.856,0:07:22.895
You too might be gay,

0:07:22.895,0:07:26.379
because I know some gay people [br]who are also single.

0:07:26.379,0:07:28.579
It's really scary, this gay lifestyle thing.

0:07:28.579,0:07:30.268
It's super-duper evil

0:07:30.268,0:07:32.775
and there's no end to it.

0:07:32.775,0:07:36.618
It goes and goes and engulfs [us].

0:07:36.618,0:07:38.825
It's really quite silly, isn't it?

0:07:38.825,0:07:40.747
That's why I'm so happy

0:07:40.747,0:07:44.589
to finally hear President Obama [br]come out and say...

0:07:44.589,0:07:49.989
(Applause) (Cheering)

0:07:52.249,0:07:56.000
that he supports marriage equality.

0:07:56.000,0:07:58.027
It's a wonderful day [br]in our country's history,

0:07:58.027,0:08:00.443
it's a wonderful day [br]in the globe's history

0:08:00.443,0:08:02.999
to be able to have [br]an actual sitting president

0:08:02.999,0:08:05.055
say "Enough of this",

0:08:05.055,0:08:08.637
first to himself and then [br]to the rest of the world.

0:08:08.637,0:08:10.598
It's wonderful.

0:08:11.118,0:08:12.942
But there's something [br]that's been disturbing me

0:08:12.942,0:08:18.035
since he made that remark [br]just a short time ago.

0:08:18.035,0:08:21.974
And that is, apparently, [br]this is just another move

0:08:21.974,0:08:26.989
by the gay activists that's [br]on the "Gay Agenda".

0:08:27.979,0:08:29.416
And I'm disturbed by this

0:08:29.416,0:08:33.896
because I have been openly gay now [br]for quite some time.

0:08:33.896,0:08:35.920
I've been to all of the functions.

0:08:35.920,0:08:37.285
I've been to fundraisers,

0:08:37.285,0:08:38.570
I've written about the topic

0:08:38.570,0:08:41.766
and I have yet to receive [br]my copy of this "Gay Agenda".

0:08:41.766,0:08:44.129
(Laughter)

0:08:44.129,0:08:45.936
I've paid my dues on time...

0:08:45.936,0:08:48.730
(Laughter)

0:08:49.430,0:08:51.458
I've marched in gay pride flags,

0:08:51.458,0:08:53.189
parades and the whole nine,

0:08:53.189,0:08:56.256
and I have yet to see [br]a copy of the "Gay Agenda".

0:08:56.256,0:08:57.678
I was very, very frustrated.

0:08:57.678,0:09:01.381
I was feeling left out [br]like I wasn't quite gay enough.

0:09:01.381,0:09:03.917
But then, something wonderful happened.

0:09:03.917,0:09:06.990
I was out shopping, as I tend to do,

0:09:06.990,0:09:11.053
and I came across a booklet copy

0:09:11.053,0:09:14.779
of the official Gay Agenda.

0:09:15.429,0:09:18.402
And I said to myself, "LZ, for so long,

0:09:18.402,0:09:20.861
you have been denied this.

0:09:20.861,0:09:22.865
When you get in front of this crowd,

0:09:22.865,0:09:25.579
you're going to share the news,

0:09:25.579,0:09:27.543
you're going to spread the Gay Agenda,

0:09:27.543,0:09:29.253
so no one else has to wonder,

0:09:29.253,0:09:33.193
'What exactly is in the Gay Agenda?'

0:09:33.193,0:09:36.143
'What are these gays up to?' (Laughter)

0:09:36.143,0:09:38.232
'What do they want?'"

0:09:39.352,0:09:42.566
So, without further ado,

0:09:42.566,0:09:44.478
I will present to you, ladies and gentlemen,

0:09:44.478,0:09:47.395
-- and be careful, because it's evil --

0:09:47.395,0:09:53.346
a copy, the official copy [br]of the Gay Agenda.

[Gay Agenda] [br](Music)

0:10:41.855,0:10:43.784
The Gay Agenda, people!

0:10:43.784,0:10:48.957
(Applause) (Cheering)

0:10:48.957,0:10:53.161
There it is. Did you soak it all in?

0:10:53.161,0:10:54.861
The Gay Agenda!

0:10:54.861,0:10:56.992
Some of you may be calling it

0:10:58.002,0:10:59.650
"The Constitution of the United States"?

0:10:59.650,0:11:01.414
Is that what you call it too?

0:11:01.414,0:11:06.204
The US Constitution is the Gay Agenda.

0:11:06.204,0:11:09.025
These gays, people like me,

0:11:09.025,0:11:11.233
want to be treated like full citizens.

0:11:11.233,0:11:15.183
And it's all written down! In plain sight!

0:11:15.183,0:11:17.162
I was blown away when I saw it!

0:11:17.162,0:11:20.859
I was like, "Wait! Is this the Gay Agenda?

0:11:20.859,0:11:22.411
Why didn't you just call it [br]"The Constitution",

0:11:22.411,0:11:24.842
so I knew what you were talking about?

0:11:24.842,0:11:29.008
I wouldn't have been so confused! [br]I wouldn't have been so upset!"

0:11:29.008,0:11:33.622
But... there it is! The Gay Agenda.

0:11:33.622,0:11:35.892
Run for your heterosexual lives.

0:11:35.892,0:11:37.372
(Laughter)

0:11:39.142,0:11:42.459
Did you know that in all the states

0:11:42.459,0:11:44.774
where there is no shading,

0:11:44.774,0:11:49.302
people who are gay, lesbian, [br]bisexual or transgendered

0:11:49.302,0:11:51.554
can be kicked out [br]of their apartments for being

0:11:51.554,0:11:55.171
gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered?

0:11:56.301,0:11:59.020
That's the only reason [br]that a landlord needs

0:11:59.020,0:12:00.364
to have them removed,

0:12:00.364,0:12:02.238
because there's no protection

0:12:02.238,0:12:06.271
from discrimination of GLBT people.

0:12:07.691,0:12:10.922
Did you know, in the states [br]where there is no shading,

0:12:10.922,0:12:12.962
that you can be fired

0:12:12.962,0:12:17.421
for being gay, lesbian, [br]bisexual or transgendered,

0:12:17.421,0:12:21.747
not based upon the quality of your work,

0:12:21.747,0:12:23.576
how long you've been there,

0:12:23.576,0:12:25.743
if you stink?

0:12:25.743,0:12:31.656
Just if you're gay, lesbian, [br]bisexual or transgendered.

0:12:32.546,0:12:37.686
All of which flies in the face [br]of the Gay Agenda,

0:12:37.686,0:12:41.244
also known as the US Constitution,

0:12:41.244,0:12:45.317
specifically this [br]little Amendment right here:

0:12:45.317,0:12:47.945
"No state shall make or enforce any law

0:12:47.945,0:12:50.323
which shall abridge [br]the privileges or immunities

0:12:50.323,0:12:54.048
of citizens of the United States."

0:12:54.908,0:12:57.877
I'm looking at you, North Carolina,

0:12:57.877,0:13:00.828
but you are not looking [br]at the US Constitution.

0:13:02.688,0:13:06.038
This is the Gay Agenda, equality.

0:13:06.038,0:13:07.680
Not special rights,

0:13:07.680,0:13:10.499
but the rights that have been [br]already written

0:13:10.499,0:13:11.861
by these people,

0:13:11.861,0:13:14.639
these elitists, if you will.

0:13:14.639,0:13:18.087
Educated, well dressed...

0:13:18.087,0:13:20.447
(Laughter)

0:13:20.447,0:13:23.558
Some would dare say [br]"Questionably dressed"...

0:13:23.558,0:13:25.658
(Laughter)

0:13:26.378,0:13:30.377
Nonetheless, our forefathers, right?

0:13:30.377,0:13:33.124
The people that, we say, [br]knew what they were doing

0:13:33.124,0:13:34.609
when they wrote the Constitution,

0:13:34.609,0:13:37.152
the Gay Agenda, if you will.

0:13:37.152,0:13:41.682
All of that flies on the face [br]of what they did.

0:13:43.992,0:13:46.266
That is the reason why

0:13:46.266,0:13:48.131
I felt it was imperative

0:13:48.131,0:13:50.425
that I presented you

0:13:50.425,0:13:53.674
with this copy of the Gay Agenda,

0:13:53.674,0:13:56.552
because I figured if I made it funny,

0:13:56.552,0:13:58.639
you wouldn't be as threatened.

0:13:58.639,0:14:00.804
I figured if I was a bit irreverent,

0:14:00.804,0:14:03.212
you wouldn't find it serious.

0:14:03.212,0:14:05.821
But when you see the map

0:14:05.821,0:14:09.038
and you see our state of Michigan,

0:14:09.728,0:14:14.225
it's legal to fire someone

0:14:14.225,0:14:18.054
for being gay, lesbian, [br]bisexual or transgendered.

0:14:18.054,0:14:22.831
It's legal to remove someone [br]from their home

0:14:22.831,0:14:27.331
because they're gay, lesbian, [br]bisexual or transgendered.

0:14:27.331,0:14:29.344
But you'll realize [br]that this whole conversation

0:14:29.344,0:14:31.168
about marriage equality

0:14:31.168,0:14:34.603
is not about stripping [br]someone's rights away.

0:14:34.603,0:14:36.234
It's about granting them the rights

0:14:36.234,0:14:39.244
that have already been stated.

0:14:39.244,0:14:41.694
And we're just trying [br]to walk in those rights

0:14:41.694,0:14:44.139
that have already been stated,

0:14:44.139,0:14:47.724
that we have already agreed upon.

0:14:47.724,0:14:52.246
There are people living in fear

0:14:53.256,0:14:56.050
of losing their jobs!

0:14:56.980,0:15:00.856
So, they don't show anyone [br]who they really are!

0:15:02.026,0:15:04.111
Right here, at home.

0:15:04.111,0:15:05.937
This isn't just about North Carolina.

0:15:05.937,0:15:09.779
In all those states that were clear

0:15:09.779,0:15:11.565
it's legal.

0:15:12.535,0:15:15.392
If I could brag for a second,

0:15:15.392,0:15:18.771
I have a fifteen-year-old son,

0:15:18.771,0:15:21.468
from my marriage.

0:15:21.468,0:15:24.158
He has a 4.0.

0:15:24.158,0:15:27.547
He is starting a new club at school,

0:15:27.547,0:15:30.004
"Policy Debate".

0:15:31.524,0:15:34.371
He is a budding track star.

0:15:34.371,0:15:38.283
He has almost every single record [br]in middle school

0:15:38.283,0:15:41.322
for every event that he competed in.

0:15:41.322,0:15:43.724
He volunteers.

0:15:43.724,0:15:46.297
He prays before he eats.

0:15:47.957,0:15:50.741
I would like to think, as his father,

0:15:50.741,0:15:53.724
and he lives with me primarily,

0:15:53.724,0:15:56.943
that I have a little something [br]to do with all of that.

0:15:56.943,0:15:59.422
I would like to think [br]that he's a good boy,

0:15:59.422,0:16:02.305
a respectful young man.

0:16:02.305,0:16:05.152
I would like to think that I've proven

0:16:05.152,0:16:07.543
to be a capable father.

0:16:08.213,0:16:12.149
But if I were to go [br]to the state of Michigan today

0:16:12.149,0:16:14.708
and try to adopt a young person

0:16:14.708,0:16:16.097
who is in an orphanage,

0:16:16.097,0:16:19.833
I would be disqualified [br]for only one reason:

0:16:20.623,0:16:22.612
because I'm gay.

0:16:23.342,0:16:25.491
It doesn't matter [br]what I've already proven,

0:16:25.491,0:16:28.064
what I can do with my heart.

0:16:28.474,0:16:31.559
It's because of what the state [br]of Michigan says that I am

0:16:31.559,0:16:36.521
that I am disqualified [br]for any sort of adoption.

0:16:39.021,0:16:41.832
And that's not just about me.

0:16:41.832,0:16:47.021
That's about so many [br]other Michiganders, US citizens,

0:16:47.021,0:16:51.955
who don't understand why what they are

0:16:51.955,0:16:56.589
is so much more significant [br]than who they are.

0:16:58.409,0:17:00.821
This story just keeps playing [br]

0:17:00.821,0:17:05.152
over and over and over again [br]in our country's history.

0:17:06.392,0:17:09.691
There was a time in which, I don't know,

0:17:09.691,0:17:13.101
people who were black [br]couldn't have the same rights.

0:17:14.171,0:17:16.032
People who happened to be women

0:17:16.032,0:17:18.896
didn't have the same rights: [br]they couldn't vote!

0:17:19.726,0:17:21.069
There was a point in our history

0:17:21.069,0:17:23.741
in which, if you were [br]considered disabled,

0:17:23.741,0:17:25.459
then an employer could just fire you,

0:17:25.459,0:17:28.246
before the [br]America's With Disabilities Act.

0:17:29.326,0:17:32.000
We keep doing this over and over again!

0:17:32.000,0:17:34.399
And so, here we are,

0:17:34.399,0:17:36.910
2012,

0:17:36.910,0:17:38.947
Gay Agenda,

0:17:38.947,0:17:40.769
gay lifestyle,

0:17:40.769,0:17:42.979
and I'm not a good dad,

0:17:42.979,0:17:45.975
and people don't deserve [br]to be able to protect their families,

0:17:45.975,0:17:48.072
because of what they are,

0:17:48.072,0:17:50.383
not who they are.

0:17:51.673,0:17:53.595
So, when you hear the words [br]

0:17:53.595,0:17:57.815
"gay lifestyle" and "Gay Agenda" [br]in the future,

0:17:57.815,0:18:00.973
I encourage you to do two things.

0:18:00.973,0:18:04.931
One: remember the US Constitution.

0:18:05.771,0:18:08.259
And then, two: if you wouldn't mind

0:18:08.259,0:18:11.500
looking to your left, please.

0:18:12.970,0:18:15.175
Look to your right.

0:18:16.655,0:18:21.322
That person next to you [br]is a brother, is a sister,

0:18:21.322,0:18:23.490
and they should be treated [br]with love and respect.

0:18:23.490,0:18:25.095
Thank you.

0:18:25.095,0:18:27.690
(Applause)
