I would say the same thing to Occupy; where the hell is your anger? What the hell is up with all the damn apathy in this country? Part of the reason the government is so willing to use violence against American Citizens is that they know we wont use it.
Bravo! Political Leaders have to believe that screwing with the GLBT community is too costly. It has to cost them $, and votes. Clinton & Obama have not been true friends to our community. Both Bushs were the expected evil twins.
Moral of the story: a republican will tell you that he/she opposes your lifestyle and will legislate accordingly. A democrat will express false solidarity in order to get your money and will then betray you for whatever reason they deem appropriate.
He's absolutely correct! The gay community is always thinking the straight folks will eventually give us our rights if we're "nice" enough....eventually. We never express our anger or outrage. It's time to be more assertive and say we will not wait to be granted our rights by anyone because we've always had them. That's why they're called "inalienable". Everyone is BORN with them....including us. Let's get our act together!
Now that the California Supreme court has decided to uphold Prop 8, this video just rings more and more true. I've never been so sick with moral outrage...
this video, among other prop 8 responces have turned me from accepting homophobia in others to making me rightiously angry. Its good and important, if we dont get angry about what we need then we wont get it
I am a middle aged man who likes the company of men and I want to clear this up. Gay means happy and carefree. It is not truly the same as being a homosexual. Being a homosexual is like being the foundation and the house. Gay is the pink flamingos and glittery sidewalks that some put outside their houses. Not everyone in the neighborhood decorates this way but the "trendy" many do decorate this way. There are a few who are simply homosexuals. Im limited on words here but that is the basic idea.
i am a Californian, adn nothing has made me so ashamed then us passes prop 8! very hypacritical(sp?)...ugh! i agree wtih Harvey..no one should give up!
but in seriousness, its appalling that this type of video ever needed to be made at all. im not gay myself, but every person deserves equal rights. the christian church has gotten too powerful and needs to be checked before we end up as the christian equivalent of Saudi Arabia.
In my opinion, anyone that serves in the army under such a fucking law and that defends a country that do not gives them freedom, should be ashamed. WE as Homosexuals should do the same that FUCKING HETEROSEXUAL AND CRHISTIANS do to us; TO US, Terrorist are not ONLY IN ISLAMS COUNTRIES BUT IN OUR WON.
Bravo Harvey! John Kerry should be ashamed for not standing up for justice. And Bill Clinton should be ashamed, too. But ALL Republicans need to be the most ashamed of all. Their active promotion of hate and injustice is the shame of America. Their promotion of hate and ignorance will not be forgotten by history.
Harvey's TORCH SONG TRILOGY is one of my all time favourite movies. I admire his courage and well thought out arguments. There are too many closet cases in U.S. politics and showbusiness. Harvey for President!! xx
Whre is your anger if you`re in your twenties? I`m exhausted from the Plague Years, starting the Organizations, aiding the Dying Gay men. A working full time. Harveys words reflect a time where you were queer if you didn`t get off of your boyfriends lap and did sometyhing for your community. If the club you party in was raided and closed down, if the HIV people would suddenly develop full blown AIDs, if Gay Bashing was aired on the news,start organizing and protesting.
I've always liked Harvey. Too many movie roles to list, but each was a joy to watch. I've often wondered if he may have had vocal chord damage. I have, and it's not fun. I admire him no matter what. Go Harvey.
Harvey should run for president!!!! I would vote for him twice!!! LOL He is one of the greatest icons of the gay community and deserves to go down in history for letting the world know that we are people too!!!!! He ranks right up there with Harvey Milk! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
If you want to see homophobia, and gays defending the homophbic, go to my comment section and a fellow atheist rips me , for being a gay man, and gay atheist support it an laughed.The new age does not care.there was even a vid made on it,
it seems that the current generation of gay men lacks the fire of their predecessors--where IS your anger? have we lost our sense of unity? it seems gay men today are too busy looking in the mirror instead of looking around,gay young people--i URGE you--pick up a book, read about the history of gay liberation, get a sense of pride in your heritage-in your roots,in who you are. dont get so caught up in the mainstream that you lose yourself.
omg. he is so eloquent! i can only wish to be able to speak like him and spread such amazing ideas! or rather truths! more people should watch this!!!

Gays should start refusing to pay taxes - no taxation without representation!
You guys aren't being fairly represented!
Ya think California's problems are bad now? Let's see what happens when Ellen & Portia, et al decide to stop paying income tax!
STAND UP and let your voice be heard!
