Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness|Gay Rights

[MuggleHarryPotterFan]

thanks so much for posting! :D

I'm thinking i'm gay and to see that and to just know that people like you out there care...it makes me feel like i can get through the whole sexuality dilemma.

Again, this is beautiful video that gets out the message perfectly =D <33

[purpledarklighter]

Wow that was amazing! I'm straight too but I got some gay friends and I totally agree with this video, you've done such a great job! Gonna share it on my Facebook

[WoodStar2]

This video made me cry. Thank you, this is beyond beautiful.

[klassie08]

oh wow i am gonna forever post this around everywhere... thanks so much for uploading it its amazing...my BFF is gay and he has such a hard time about it and he doesnt deserve it no one deserves it..you should be allowed to love whoever you want to love no one has the right to dictate that to u

FIGHT FOR GAY RIGHTS EVERYONE

[DevilDears]

Oh my god!! Y__Y This was so intense I actually started crying! Great job raising awareness!!! We can not let homophobia be tolerated anymore!!

[LouBable]

Congratulations on making such a poignant and amazing video. People need to be constantly reminded how predudice of any kind ruins peoples lives and even causes death as stated in your video! I salute you for making this powerful video and making us all think once again about just how cruel people can be. I am so glad you have had so much support and so many good responses as it just shows that there are a lot of people out there who do actually care and want change which gives us hope!!!! <333

[BelleAstrum]

This is such a lovely vid! Well done and thank you for putting this up.

[starbound121]

thank you thank you so much

[toxicgurl168]

I am crying. That is the best I can describe how I am feeling at this moment. I am crying. It is so horrible what happens to people just because of who they choose to love and its horrible and it should not be happening. This video moved me to no end. I honestly, the message, its so powerful and moving and thank you for making this. This message needs to be put out there more. You can love whoever you desire. It should not matter and it saddens me that it does. Just beautiful. You are beautiful.

[rofire9]

I am so glad you posted this. This is such an important message. How we claim to be a free society when we still treat people who are different like this? This isn't just about gay rights, it's about civil rights. ALL people deserve a chance at liberty and happiness. Your vid was both inspiring and thoughtful. I hope many more people see this. We are all human beings. We should support each other, not tear each other down. Thank you for supporting others.

[LivelyHayley]

This is making me cry. Thank you so much for doing it, this is beautiful and - just wow. I believe more people should watch this video. People should just stop being so intolerant and accept and respect other people's feelings and sexual orientation. Just wow, I'm here in tears and shivering. Emotional and wonderfully put together.

[Yasumi2856]

Wonderful video! Hate is never okay or the answer. People need to learn tolerance and acceptance. It is sad that children cannot go to school and receive an education without having to fear for their safety simply because of their sexual orientation. People need to wake up. This perpetual blindness is only causing more harm.

[moonchildlight]

I love how Emily and Naomi from Skins are in the mix :) #EPIC SUCCESS

[Ankatje]

I am proud to announce that, after stalking countless celebs trying to get them to retweet this video, Gabriel Mann (Nolan from Revenge) is the first to do so! Join me in getting this video viewed by as many people as possible!

[standinthesilence]

True!!

[SilverEyedRukia]

X-Ray Dog - The Vision, am I right?

[BottledMichelle]

@SilverEyedRukia The first song is the last hosue on the left and then it leads into The Vision *cheers*

[SilverEyedRukia]

@BottledMichelle I knew it, nice choice of music to support your message. The Vision always gives me shivers down my spine when it reaches its climax. Btw, that was an awesome video: It's always nice to know there are people supporting rights like this. I wish more people would be as considerate as you :) People at my school are quite accepting^^

[RebekahGoehring]

this is just so beautiful . . . I am so proud of you for sharing this!!!!

I am always amazed when people use their fame to stand up for something they believe in . . . the only thing that i felt was missing from this was zach quinto's it gets better speech . . . he literally had me in tears!!

[Shanice12OTH]

this is incredible mich! i feel like we should all upload it on our channels or something to make more awareness. this literally brought me to tears! it is so moving, and beautiful<3

good job!

[doode25]

This is incredible, Mish. I have goosebumps. You managed to capture the constant struggle, pain and heartache that so many have suffered (and are still suffering) through. This video is such a maginificent ray of hope in the darkness -- that there are those who will not stand for hatred, discrimination and intolerance. I am so proud to know you, and to see this video spread such a beautiful message. You are not alone, you are better than those that strive to bring you down, and you are loved.

[Onedaywewillshine00]

I agree with so many of these comments. This video was incredibly beautiful and moving. It really shows a lot of the issues and battles that the homosexual community has gone through throughout the years. It is sad and horrifying and beautiful and uplifting and I am in tears. Thank for this video.

[BuildingAMystery1]

This was just beautiful and so moving! I believe it's a choice, one person at a time, to decide how we treat each other. To decide what we will except as a society and what we will not. I can say as the mother of a young child, my son will be and is raised to have all for all! We Are All Just People!

[dizzygirl760]

It gets better.

Mish this was so stunning and beautiful it should have a gazillion vote up. So Moving thank you sending out one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen in my existence. Thank you for sending such a positive message of hope.

[Ankatje]

I am literally sharing this video everywhere I can. Please everyone do the same - videos like this should be youtube hits! 

[JulesheartsMikita]

This was so beautiful and it makes me sad that people are discriminated against,killed or kill themselves because society teaches them to hate themselves;thanks for spreading love, not hate.

[Mandi1630]

This was absolutely stunning. I desperately wish more teens would see this and I hope that this helps even one person out there.

[luvtheheaven5]

Aw this was nice. I love your use of Skins & G.lee in this too - and I don't know the show bue B.uffy too haha. The video wasn't mainly about those moments but they were nice. I also loved seeing the two TVD actors participating in the "It Gets Better" campaign. It was a nice mixing of fandoms into this powerful vid that anyone should be able to appreciate. :D

[ChicaNikki149]

Wow. I am in tears right now. I have so many friends who are gay or bi and the fact that they cannot express their love the way us "normal" people can is ABSURD. EVERYONE is normal, EVERYONE is beautiful, EVERYONE deserves the right to love and be loved. This video was incredible and touching and you just helped to make the world a better place in 2:56 minutes. <3 Thank you.

[GhEqualsLove4Eva18]

I'm straight, but my best friend is a lesbian, and she gets shit for it daily. Looks and whispers as she walks by with her gf. I wish things were different, and this video touches my heart in ways I can't describe. Amazing job!! Seriously we need a world with more people like you!!!!!

[xEternallyDazzled]

Now I will go weep. YOU ARE AMAZING <mcry

[xEternallyDazzled]

This is exactly the type of video and message that needs to be playing in schools, that we should be teaching our children and teenagers and even adults. Sexuality is not a choice, but hate is. I don't know how people who hate, torture and bully others can think they're better people than those who stand up and are proud and honest with the world about something they cannot control.

We are all of the same species, we should be helping and supporting each other, and this video is exactly why.

[Ankatje]

@xEternallyDazzled I could not agree with you more. Let there be only love and no hate. I truly hope that future generations can and will change this, cause this is intolerable.

[BottledMichelle]

Hey guys!!! Thank you so much!! The support for this means so much... but please don't thank me! Thank yourselves for willing to spread the belief that people deserve to be happy no matter who they are or how they feel. We're all human.

I've been getting A LOT of PMS about sharing this... feel free to share as you wish, I take no credit for this I credit the people who have stood up to other people so we can be who we were meant to be.

[XdwlLisaX]

you made me cry :( Such a powerful message. I cannot & will not tolerate any kind of discrimination. We have to stop allowing this to happen.

[Ankatje]

I pity those who do such things and I hope future generations will be wise and kind enough to ban homophobia complete and embrace everyone for who they are.

Thank you so much for making this, I will show it to as many people as I can.

Humankind thanks you, you have a wonderful heart <3

[Ankatje]

This just made me bawl like a baby. I applaud you for make this, it's inspirational - every single person in the world should watch this. People who judge others on the base of the colour of their skin, their religion or their sexual orientation, make me ashamed of humankind. Everyone has the right to be happy and feel safe, no matter what, and nobody has the right to make others feel miserable for being who they are.

[TheShadowsOfEternity]

This is such a powerful video, flawless, and more than true.

You sent a truest message, because if everyone is created equal gay marriage shouldn't be "frowned upon" by so many assholes.

[TheKG2002]

Wow this is absolutely gorgeous and such a powerful video. It still kills me to know that there is so much hate still out there, but this helps to show that there is a chance to move past it all.

[brionyx509]

Michelle, this is so fucking incredible! I am crying everywhere right now. We've all witnessed the great power the internet beholds to liberate those who are penalised and marginalised within society and it's videos like this that really have the ability to do so too. This was so incredibly moving and the combination and juxtaposition of audio and video was so intense and powerful and the message just couldn't have been any clearer.

[honestlycastle]

Such a beautiful and moving video! It made me feel really emotional and I totally agree with you. It shouldn't matter who you're attracted to. I'll never understand all the hatred.

[MsLyraGW]

Gosh, this is beautiful! *___* Thank you for making such a powerful vid, for standing up and protecting gay rights. I don't understand all the hatred. To me, people just fall in love with and are attracted to other people, and I don't really care which sex those people are as long as they're happy :)

[keirami21]

I have goosebumbs, Michelle. Goosebumbs! Its so amazing to see someone that i admire so much as you making something like this and raising a voice! BRAVISIMO,Mish!

[NotSomeBarbieDoll]

So beautiful. Thank you so much for making this. I am going to post this video anywhere and everywhere.

[xgliix]

This is just perfect !

[meeshell384]

This is amazing. I don't have much else to say right now cause I'm pretty emotional at the moment. But you, my dear... Should be very proud of this. It's quite an accomplishment.

Oh, and thanks for adding NPH. Love him. :)

[Kaiirel]

You made me cry. This is just outstanding!

[ImNaturallySuper]

This is one of the most profoundly touching things I have ever seen. I wish people wuld stop labeling things, things that have labels can be misinterpreted or misunderstood. Gay, straight, bisexual, asexual? Who cares? This life is too short, and it is too hard to find anyone who completes you perfectly, whether they be black, white, tall, short, deaf, blind, girl or boy, if they make you happy beyond measure, seize every moment together and don't let go. Thank-you for this. You are beautiful.

[lumendion]

There are many vids on YT which move me, some that give me shivers, but there are only a few that bring me to tears - this is definitely one of them!! Beautifully edited and so powerful, it is such an important message and I am so glad that you made this vid. Being in love is the best feeling in the world and no one should feel bad about being in love only because some dickheads think it's not "socially appropriate".

[gaby0189x]

Bravo! Bravo! Girl this is so beautiful and moving and just expresses so many things that I can't even begin to describe. I full agree with you, I think everyone should have the right to marry regardless of their sexuality.

[TheShibbyness3]

Omg I have goosebumps right now

I was working on a video for the same thing but there's no way i could even come close to this,

Every aspect of this video is so well put together a huge fair play to you, i can tell how much feeling has gone into it, just wow <3

[xCanuckChicklettex]

SERIOUSLY?!?! How does someone dislike this? You dislike that people should be treated equal and free??? wtf?

[soseztheleadr]

Beautiful.

[ccmrose]

Oh my gosh Mish. Crying. Literally crying. This was so moving and beautiful and you did such a fantastic job with it. The way you interwove all the quotes and media footage along with the Skins footage and such, ugh. Absolutely perfect. I love it so much, and it's so meaningful and beautiful. Fucking amazing, pimping this out everywhere.

[xTheHardestPaart]

I love you for making this. It's so nice to for once see a video like this on youtube - one with an important message. I actually did a speech about gay rights in front of my class like a week ago.

[xCanuckChicklettex]

It breaks my heart to think about what kind of lives me and the people I care about would have if we'd ended up being born across the border. It also breaks my heart to think about how many people around the world are losing their most basic human rights - the rights to life and to live free of fear of unjust prosecution - just because of who they love. Its bad enough to have a few idiots against you... I can't imagine what it would be like to have a nation against you to... your own home...

[xjesslatx]

This is so amazing, and so inspiring. I love the clips you used and the points you chose. I really hope this goes Viral.

[yamisadomazo]

Thank you so much for this.

[xCanuckChicklettex]

This is so beautifully powerful. I am a big puddle of tears, happiness and sadness. Happiness that I am blessed to live in a country where people aren't allowed to be treated like second class citizens (Canada). And sadness because there are still a huge number of people who are holding on to these fascist, outdated morals. Morals that were never right to begin with.

[ddreamcatcher2]

fucking tears everywhere. this is beautiful.

[Sparralex]

You know how much I love this. I still swear that it's going to go viral. I love how you combined all different aspects of the media, as well as all different viewpoints. I wish it was clear to everyone which viewpoints are right and just. This video is just so incredibly touching and impacting, and I'm so proud of you for making it :). The "ARE YOU LISTENING?" and then the music kicking in still gives me chills everywhere. Incredible.

[xHeartxFreakx]

WOW , i´m totally Speechless ! It´s so sad , that some People don´t understand,that Gays are PEOPLE too ! We ´re all same Humans ! Even are some of us are GAYS !

[Sarcastic07]

No words. No words at all. Bless you.

[MickyBeast52]

Thank you for making this. I'm bisexual, and this is just fucking stupid how people are still freaking out about two genders liking each other.

[TheLucifersVessel]

I want you to know by the end of this I was smiling and crying (*srs tears in my eyes right now) This is hands down the most beautiful video to ever grace the pages of youtube. You took vidding to a whole new level, and brought a real issue into this light. All of the voiceovers and clips compiled in the way you did was genius because it was like telling a story. The ending was so inspiring, with the "it gets better" I have no words to describe how simply amazing and awe inspiring this is. But

[TheLucifersVessel]

I'm spreading this to all my friends and family, JSYK. I seriously love you and everything you stand for. glomp <333

[chucklovaaa]

Yeah, that just made me cry. I can't believe how quickly you made this video and how POWERFUL it is. You just showed why video editing is truly beautiful, especially if it's used to convey something important like this. It's unbelievable that a progressive nation like the US still basically has anti-gay laws. I JUST DO NOT GET IT. Amazing video, you should be proud of this <3

[becky200]

that's really touching

[littlemissmaija]

this was so great and touching. in Finland, where I live, gay marriges are still not legal and it's just sad. and to see so much hate and narrow-minded people is crushing. but i guess there's hope - one of my country's president candidates is gay and he was on the second place in the latest polls!

[FireflyFanatic3]

Maybe because I live in England, and our laws are much more homosexual friendly, but I never realised it was still so bad in America...

I think what pisses me off the most are the Christians, because I am one myself. I have my beliefs, but I completely respect other people's beliefs too. Last time I checked, God loves everyone despite their faults and failures, just as they are!

My closest friend is gay, it pains me to see how much she's gone through because of it...

Incredibly powerful video!!

[marcogrl]

that was truly amazing. no other words can describe it. brilliant

[UtenaOfRoses]

Amazing. Very touching. As a heterosexual who supports gay rights, I salute you.

[elenawwr]

This is beautiful, I'm actually crying. I have really strong views about gay rights but I never knew how bad it was in America (i'm British).

[JooFlashx]

this truly touched me...

[GreysALIASAnatomy]

That was lovely. Beautiful. It's sad when hate is the norm and love is the thing that's shamed upon. I'm sad for the people who grew up believing love is only man/woman. It shows they weren't educated and brought to see all sides to one story. What the United States needs to work on is THIS epidemic crisis and not Megaupload where that's the important debate. Life and death come with what gay people have to deal with. The United States, we have some messed up priorities right now. Great job.
