Bette Midler presents Pink with HRC's Ally for Equality Award

[Coooooooooooop]

@RockInTheMatrix

are you sure with that? I mean, do you really MEAN, what you just said?

You're a Women, or at least a girl... so, do you really believe, that you were made from the hips of a man? Well I do not.

You're 15, right? Did you ever fall in love?

What it's like. Just describe it, and I will continue with my explaining.

[aiu7125]

Bette Midler & Pink were speaking to an audience whom are inspired by their strength & give many hope. I believe experiences & biology form us. Happy holidays! Jason Lowen in Los Angeles, CA

[Coooooooooooop]

@RockInTheMatrix I don't quite get, what you want to tell me....

If I was getting you wrong, then correct me....

I'm a Christian, too. But I don't think that loving someone is a sin. Because it isn't!

Well I just can't imagine how the world and the people will go on if you can't love who you love, because it won't be accepted.. you know?

[RockInTheMatrix]

@Coooooooooooop Love everyone spiritually, only physically when married and man to woman and woman to man. God made Eve from Adam's hip. We're weaker without one another.

[Georgiasaur]

There is not one page in any of the Bibles that claims homosexuality being wrong or 'Sinful'. It's bullshit that people conjured up to suit their beliefs. Love is love, it's that simple.

[RockInTheMatrix]

@Georgiasaur It says "an abomination before God" That simple.

[PinkJunkie17]

2 PEOPLE sucks.

[N0SERiiNGx]

I WANNA FUCK P!NK OH MY GOSH.

[writeonjanet]

Thank you PINK!

[PinkCareyHart]

i love how she describes Pink - its all so true!! Pink is awesome!!!

[Coooooooooooop]

@mrchiefofsinners

First:

If you really believe in God, you believe, that he al made us, too!

And if you believe in that you have to accept he made us with everything we are! So he made every gay persons, too.

Second:

It's not a sin!!!

It's not a sin to love somebody!

[RockInTheMatrix]

@Coooooooooooop Actually,Christians get it wrong.They think they shouldn't associate with gays/lesbians.Yes,God made us ALL.And YES,Christians put a bad taste in many people's mouths because they despise gays.I'm a Christian,the Holy Bible says to love everybody,but when it comes to homosexuality,don't act upon it because God made a woman for a man.It's a sin, b/c the bible also says that doing things out of ignorance is forgivable,yet committing sins in spite is 1 of the worst things you can do

[ChristOrder]

@RockInTheMatrix 1 Tim 2:12

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man, she must be quiet."

Be quiet.

[RockInTheMatrix]

@ChristOrder Titus 2:1-3 "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women LIKEWISE, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things." KJV 1 Tim 2:12 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."

[ChristOrder]

@RockInTheMatrix You're not an aged woman. You're a 15 year old idiot. So follow our Lords word and be quiet (1 Tim 2:12)

[mrchiefofsinners]

If anyone is struggling with the sin and disease of homosexuality, please, turn to Christ for forgiveness and salvation; then seek medical and psychological treatment.

[tmgtheperson]

@mrchiefofsinners For the love of God, do everyone a favour and check out the Charter for Compassion, if you really want to advocate a good cause. Stop watching YouTube videos about issues your limited grip on religion does not allow you to fully understand or agree with and keep your bigoted ignorance to yourself – it's got no place on this thread celebrating a remarkable woman's achievements in the fight for human equality.

[cowfman]

@mrchiefofsinners Oh do shut up.

[cold197]

@mrchiefofsinners please, stop being a complete bigot and move on with your life =/

[am15101989]

Pink is just amazing. Absolutely adore her. What an entertainer! What a human being!

[shezzzaaa]

This women is Fin AMAZING!! This is why i adore her! She speaks her mind, shes not afraid of wat people think and shes such an inspiration. -3 -3 -3 -3 her

[LeoNJMaisonneuve]

It's people like P!ink that will hopefully someday, change the way kids perceive some things in life that cannot be changed!

[pinknessandlove]

at the end--"thank you, WORD! thank you" HAHA! LOVE P!nk!

[MsFockit]

@TheMusicismylife9210 Kesha's message is like Pink??? oh puleez, P!nk has gone thru all the stuff she sings about. Kesha is just some hick girl from some hicktown that Dr. Luke pulled out of obscurity to sing/rap his electro pop songs. All the public images about her ..her fashion..make up etc are all taken from P!nk's past..she is not a freak, neither was she bullied or an outcast..she's just tryna jack Pink's style for the younger kids since P!nk's fans are getting older.

[Kolokasidis]

@TheMusicismylife9210 Ah I'm sorry, judging from Keshas songs, I don't like her that much but it would be ignorant to further judge her since I have no idea about her background story. So I'll hold back from that :)

[isakechaos]

im being misquoted by perez hilton even as i speak" LOL

[stephanos87]

@isakechaos what do u mean?

[isakechaos]

@stephanos87 bette midler said that lol do you comment on videos you dont watch?

[Kolokasidis]

My girlfriend sent me this video, after I told her I finally found my righteous self that I've been fighting for. And I can say this speech gave me a brainstorm. A message I want to carry out on you. Pink is not so well "advertised" because she is the human being that everyone should be. Forget Ke$ha and all those shallow idiot , lipsynch "artists". Why don't you all search within you? Why don't you try to be righteous for your loved ones? Be the change in the world! Be yourself! Love each other

[gkolak1]

makes me sp proud to be a fan xxx love u P!NK XXXXXXX

[trollionaire]

@avalonjoyous i guess you just cant handle the truth. theres an overwhelming amount of gays at those gay parades representing the gay community, its as if they want to be seen that way, i dont see very many gays speaking against it including you so dont pull the not all of us are like that card. u also ironically assume im just some full on troll when ive made numerous thoughprovoking points that have u stumped

seriously with what ive witnessed every year id rather be a bigot than a faggot

[trollionaire]

@avalonjoyous lol you're the one with the mask. the only way the gay community can express their cultural identity is by being as flaming as possible during gay parades. really it just shows the world how gays truly are. i live in a city where our streets are shut down just so these freaks of nature can pass through committing depraved acts in public. next morning there is literally semen on the sidewalks. ur kind perpetuates its own stereotypes. and to think at first i supported gay "people"

[trollionaire]

@avalonjoyous me hating FAGS? girlfriend that is sooo ridiculous! all im asking u is a serious question. why are u being so uptight about it?

god! stop being such a drama queen!

[trollionaire]

@avalonjoyous im asking u a serious question just one juicy sausage while drunk in the heat of the moment with a good friend doesnt make u gay right

LOL

[trollionaire]

@avalonjoyous does sucking cock make me gay

LOL

[dac683]

I love here even more then ever . Here speech was so great wish I had that much straight to be myself.

[RLLEaton]

Bette Midler and Pink are both AWESOME! I thank both of them and so many others for all of their work for equality.

[MegaJukebox1]

Tht was beautiful!!! We need more people like her!! Go I love this women!! :P

[actresstobe]

"Life at high school sucks but everything after that is brilliant. There are people out there waiting with open arms to love you. Life can be magnificent if you wait it out." - So true. I've found this in life & so many others have too. Just hold on, it'll be all right. <3

[isae007]

the best since was "it's about love" I agree totaly! if you love a girl or a boy than chance nothing just follow your heart that's the moost important thing you need too do.

[jayemphasis]

to the TWO people who dont like this... "kiss my entire ass" from the words of pink lol

[dramaticafantastica]

<3 Bette Midler. I don't even.

[ampedxx]

"First and foremost, if there are any bullies out there, and you really wanna take your anger out on someone, come find me."

[GryfinWing]

My role model :)

[GryfinWing]

Such an incredible person!

[Pinkfreakenjulie]

i am 13 years old i totally understand you P!nk <3 I listen to you everyday

[Pinkfreakenjulie]

I will come to you P!nk ! hate some in school, they bully me I like you and your music, but they do not understand. your music makes me strong. without it, I dont knew what I would do. P!nk speech made me cry <3 love you..

this woman is best <3 love that you do so much for Human rights <3

[JadoreAlexandra]

Alecia Beth Moore, I take my hat off for you. You're an absolute inspiration for everybody on this earth right now, and for future generations. You had me in tears with that beautiful speech, and I, like many others, are glad you are on this earth.

LONG LIVE P!NK !

[leoleahyBEHHH]

"Hi, I'm a Virgo" // "Hi, I'm gay" -- LOVE.

[leoleahyBEHHH]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. best speech i've EVER heard. i agree with everything Pink said. AMAZING

[ZHerman1129]

P!nk...seriously...P!nk...I love you.

[MattieG95]

Whoever said " WORD! " at the end is a LEGEND. Haha and she went " Thanks! " But seriously, Pink is such a freaking legend, she uses her position to raise awareness, and stand up for the underdogs, as she put it. And on top of all that, damn she can sing! Keep doing your thing Pink, your an inspiration.

[MsFockit]

If this was a speech made by Britney/Gaga etc, the media will be all over it. The speech will be quoted on every major newspaper and gossip mags. I wish P!nk was more appreciated and that people will wake the fuck up and start idolizing women who fight for their success and are true to themselves, instead of women acting like the typical dumb slut.

[juledaa]

@MsFockit so true! but Britney/Gaga couldn't create as good speeches as Pink does. :)

i don't understand what is wrong with everyone, artist like Britney, Kesha etc. are so overrated. And people who really would deserve more success they never will. :S

[cowfman]

@juledaa

"but Britney/Gaga couldn't create as good speeches as Pink does. :)"

Exactly. Let alone deliver.

[pinkeatspeaches]

We do not ask artists to be intelligent, hopefully. But when you see such a great, inspiring and clever speech as hers, you're just falling more and more into love with the human being she is. She's probably the only true artist with such success and recognition, all the others are modeled by marketing or what the society wants.

[Lenchenish]

she was really nervous but the things she said were amazing

i luv her

[lMajorityl]

Thank you for that P!nk. Your speech was awesome and I might got some tears in my eyes! I´m gonna do my best to share it to the whole world and also to the bullys getting ur message that they should find you!...

You put everything in your speech I want to say with such humor.

And I hope this is gonna reach you... You did awesome!

Thanks for beeing who you are and for trying to open the eyes of others <3

[Zippoca]

P!nk is a genius. Just compare this speech to gaga's speech a few weeks ago.

[spashley4lyf]

SERIOUSLY MY IDOL P!NK JUST GAVE ME THE COURAGE TO COME OUT! :D I LOVE YOU SO MUCH P!NK <3

[MGrowMiller]

I LOVE ALICIA!

[jOnAsLuv1813]

P!nk is soooo amazing. If I had anymore room in my heart to love her more, this video made that happen.

[jaymeluce]

i love P!nk's attitude she is just like this what i believe this message i hold true and if you don't like it or me i don't give a shit because equality is what is important. i love her i lover music and the fact that she is straight but not narrow. she makes me proud i am a woman and thankful that i am a gay woman in times when i can stand up for what is right and fair. we need more strong women like her she is a true role model for young women. <3

[FelfiLoh]

love u betty 

[DangerousLoveGoddess]

Love P!nk!

Me to be honest I'm gonna get marry to my girlfriend someday,we gonna do a whole thing and i won't give a rats ass if its legal or not.I'm gonna be with the one i love 4ever no matter what dumb ass guy in a suit says

[xxRazzamatazz]

[IrethN]

This video reminds my why, year after year, she has been my hero, and role model no matter how crazy her antics are, but only because of her attitude towards life and others.

[dvelvet]

WELL SAID P!NK... MORE REASON WHY I LOVE U.

[luciferdy9]

[piiinkDeluxe]

[zulberg1]

Teens who may feel lonely and alienated

[zulberg1]

Comments about being in high school and whole world out there waiting to love you are so true and should give hope to all t

[ThisIsOurStorySuvi]

There is no one like her. She is an phenomenal, loving, caring, smart, generous, open minded, talented woman who really puts an effort to make this place more beatiful and tolerant for all of us. You can't be without being in love with her. I so hope that some day in every country there will be equal opportunities for everybody to get married and to celebrate the love between two persons. We're all in the same line. No one shouldn't be left behind. That's the true strenght. Make a difference. ♥

[valieboo]

shes the most inspiring woman on earth. i strongly admire her. shes been my guardian angel for the past 10 years. love her to death.

[tamirhcp]

ai q linda!

[mmm1790]

"It boggles my mind that we're spending time, energy and money trying to ban love."

[OurLucylocket]

[obxlight]

*where's the lil tribute vid? anyone knows?*

[Pinkaddict85]

i am sobbing..... cant even put it in words how much this woman means to me <3

[Macke33339]

P! nk makes me cry she is so genuine. She's amazing how you can be genuine, funny, cute, talented, amazing, nice, I can not even describe with words how she is if I had been P! nk I probably would have been incredibly proud of myself and what I believe or know to P! nk is. She keeps me going with tomorrow she makes me dare to go my own way do not be like everyone else, she makes me see life as a story with both good and bad parts. I love her with all my heart .

[sandthinkpink]

Someone could write what P!nk said cause I understand a little but not all of it. I'm french woman !! :)

[GiantMidget17]

She has no idea how much she's just helped me :)

[jennympl]

AMAZING!! Thats my P!nk! looove her! amazing speech!

[graphicgoddess64]

She never ceases ti amaze and inspire me. What a wonderful speech, what a wonderful tribute by Bette. Yes, Alecia, you have stayed true to who you are and that is why so many people connect with you, your music, your story. You are real, raw, open, honest and true. We love you. We adore you. Thank you for being true to yourself, and for being so supportive of a cause that needs to be acknowledged and resolved.. Happy Healthy Loving Marriages for all.

[HandyKaputt]

Damn, she made me cry!

I hope everyone in this world will see this & that it will finally open the eyes of the people still fighting against anyone who has a "different" opinion/lifestyle/..

I hate that we still even have 2 talk about things like gay marriage.. y is it so important 4 some people 2 fight against people loving each other?! i don't understand how u can be so silly & shuttered. yes, she is right, it's a shame!

i just adore this woman 4 giving strength 2 so many people out there!

[MzSrH]

P!nk means : AMAZING <3 <3 <3 <3

[she8u2st]

so, Pink seems to be taking over the world, and there's nothing wrong with it at all!!

[x0xBeCkYx0x]

She is too cute! I love how she jokes when she is nervous! But seriously go her for using her popularity to help people! No one deserved the award more than she did =] that award means so so so much more than a VMA award or any other music award! Xx

[LadyDi7409]

exactly why we love Pink soooo much! and Bette

[irresistiblematter]

WAUW! *claps

[chayenne1304]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. She's the BEST!!!!And it's a great honor to know her!!!♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[Jomjael]

[SoWhat209]

@Jomjael i hope that too. she really needs to know how important she is to us and how much we love her ♥

[paulahare2]

will that is hrc and gay men for you throwing transgender under the bus agin yes the gay's and hrc believe that transgender are thire class citizen's

[Shmoo06]

@paulahare2 Yeah, I'm not a fan of the HRC, but I love P!nk and her speech. It's a bit of dilemma for me.

[SpiderShan159]

She's such an inspiration. I don't know what I'd do without her. I can't describe how much I love her, but I do <3

[juledaa]

I love their speeches! ♥

[sober123456789]

aah p!nk, ur amazing! how awesome is she?. Last year Lady Gaga's apperance was so contrived and fake just like her image and fashion. P!nk is just so.....raw ..honest , sincere....I believe her and what she has to say more than any other person in the world

[Macke33339]

P!nk make me cry because she is so real:) That´s why i love her so much! P!nk you are amazing. it is P!nk that keeps me going every day<3

[SoWhat209]

Pink's speech made me cry. I'm so happy and proud that we have this wonderful woman in this world. I love her for fighting for equal rights, especially for gay people and of course also for her amazing music. I hope that this speech opens the eyes of many people who are still against gay people or marriage. It has to change.

I just can agree with Pink: "It boggles my mind that we're spending time, energy and money trying to ban love."

I adore you for being who you are Pink. ♥ Hugs & Kisses ♥

[CMT369]

@SoWhat209 i agree with you completely. the exact same line stuck in my head too

[Shmoo06]

So glad this was posted. "Well, Wall street is crashing and I'm about to lose my job, but I don't want 2 people I've never met to put on nice clothes, say nice things to each other in front of other nice people, and live happily ever after. It's important to me and my life that that not happen. Really?"

[petrake79]

Bette Midler took a long time to announce P!nk! Thx Bette, it was all true what u were saying about her! And wow, Pink! Beautiful speech! It was a long speech, but it didn't seem so long, 'cause there were funny notes in it! I hope people would stop bullying now!!

[cubie21]

p!nk, you are one amazing, inspiring women. you speech was beautiful, thank you so much for staying true to yourself, you have helped me so, so much <3

[zentamaus84]

pink is soo fucking amazing. great speech

[JuliePie22]

If that doesn't inspire change then what will?

[ashe4113]

I Love Her.
