Ohkay, I Originally Came To This Video To Confirm The Correct Pronunciation Of " Nguyen " You Seemed Professional Looking And I Was Expecting An Introduction Of Your Name So I Know How To Say It( It's My Friends Name ) But Instead I Was Presented With A Very Passionate Speech And I'm Glad I Watched The Video Even Though I Didn't Hear The Name. P.S. I Learned The Pronunciation From World Famous Poker Star "Scott Nguyen" It Sounds Like "When" Is This Correct? Thank You For Sharing That.
awesome!! i am not gay, but i support gay rights for all of the reasons you describe! in my opinion, we need to embrace our homosexual brothers and sisters, and make gay marriage legal. if we as americans are serious about freedom, equality and justice, there is no other choice. rock on, brother!!
you went strait to my heard and moved me. you speak for all of us when you say we dream that one day I want to be at my wedding. Every one need to march what are you waiting for. i vote for you/
He IS on the best collegiate forensics team in the nation. Won the national championship like 6 times in the past 7 years.... or something along those lines.
It's Mario, and I would like to thank all of your for your loving comments. I have such a desire to be in D.C. and find this desire growing everyday. Your comments have moved me and I hope that you are willing to spread my message to your peers by getting them to please vote for me.
This was the clear winner. While each was good, and I hope they all could speak, Mario almost made me cry and I think having a young gay man show the courage he did is what makes him my hero!
One of the only speeches that actually pulls you in and doesn't just talk about your own life experiences. I was unhappy there weren't any female speakers but after seeing this I would've voted for you either way. See you at D.C.!
Without a doubt, the best speech we had to choose from. A terrific spokesperson, and the face of diversity!! This is the generation to lead us into the future! See y'all on Oct. 11th!
Good job Mario! I've seen you in a few plays at PSHS but I don't think we've ever met. But either way, I just wanted to let you know that I'm voting for you and wishing you the best!
Great speech- reminded me of a young Obama. Your sis will come around eventually. I'm a bit older but I'm glad to see the young speak out. Hope you make it to DC.
Don't know how old you are, but that is one articulate, meaningful speech. I'm amazed how much vigor you have for this cause, and I thank you for every ounce of it!
It is unbelievable that someone so young has such an unbelievable power to move people. Your speech brought me to tears and made me feel empowered at the same time. You have a gift that will move us forward and touch hearts & minds everywhere.
Bravo, Mario! Wow, I was moved to tears. What a powerful and incredibly inspiring young man. He's obviously our Equality Idol. I suggest that the other contestants step aside. We need to raise this young man up. He may be the next Harvey Milk! This is my vote.
rd1999, I would say it's because equality is a matter that strikes the very essence of humanity and affects us more profoundly than almost anything else.
Ok you are my favorite video. Young people are no longer ashamed of being gay. It is time for us to stop asking for our rights and demand them. When I married my partner I healed some of the hurt in my soule when prop 8 passed I was stabbed deeper in the heart by my fellow CA then I ever thought possible.
Actually I gay guys are awesome, more women for us straight guys lol Just don't talk about your gay fantasies or whatever.
