IDAHO 2009: One Voice, One Message, Heard Around the World.

[stasamja007]

And yet, its sad that several countries have punishments for homosexuality, even more bans on gay marriages and all fundamental rights of LGBT population. Things are changing, but its going TOO SLOW. Fight for your rights!

[lesbianmusic]

October 11, 2011...I have been waiting for this day all year. My name is Maggie and I am proud, very proud to be part of this family.

[VanityKaouhsiung]

We can see our Creative Consultant in this video!

Can you?

Hint: He's at the Lotus Pond ;0)

[LifeisWar2]

Damn breeders, it's totally normal to want an older gentlemen to ram you up the ass in a public bathroom stall while you scream daddy. To think otherwise is dangerous bigotry, plain and simple! GAY PRIDE!

[RadarOReilly29]

This video fills me with joy and makes me proud to be gay.

[Crazyd1989]

Oh wow, the guy from Singapore at 1.16-1.18... I'm swooning here! Gorgeous.

What a fantastic idea for a video - it's so uplifting to see LGBT people from all around the world so happy and proud. Love to see more stuff like this.

[BondLachlan]

I'm going out with the first Scotsman, Ryan!

[MrRalonso13]

[geekchic94]

[HotYaoiLove]

I am proud to be who I am though I'm not out yet. People who are willing to do this are amazing. I'm glad that people are willing to out themselves to the entire world.

[lucky717lady]

@HotYaoiLove --- one day my love you will rip down that closet door and be an out and proud member of the glbt community....we're rooting for ya!

[lucky717lady]

@lucky717lady o and i live in gay jersey and I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A CARPET MUNCHER.....OH I MEANT GAY. I AM PROUD TO BE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HotYaoiLove]

@lucky717lady

Thanks. That means a lot.

[stonerdub]

this would be great to show the preteens and teenagers to stop the suicides...

what was with the Irai guys face being blurred?

[earthbendingavatar1]

I am from Indianapolis, Indiana and I am PROUD to be GAY!!

[MoonShine2624]

I'm Bartek, I'm from Poland, and I'm proud to be Gay.

[oelergodt]

I'm indescribably glad that so many people are content with their sexuality... But pride over something genetic you have no control over is non-nonsensical to me.. Like people who take pride in the color of their skin - I mean... bravo!?

Like my gay sister says "Why is sexuality such a big deal?"

Well, be it homophobic dick heads or gay people themselves... some people really do think it is a big deal.

[BradTastic17]

@oelergodt IIt'2 better than beiing a2hamed. :D

[gambitdance]

Eu também tenho orgulho!!

[swishyhair]

[joeldeacon]

You have to love the World Wide responce to this Idaho Challenge.. I do hope to live long enough to really see and feel that hetro's realize that "Gay is a Gift from God"

[mikehony]

I LIKE THE VEDIO, YOU ARE VERY EXPLICIT

[robertowarken]

I'm not gay but my partner of 11 years, yeah! LOL!

I already knew this video I'm proud to be a common person to a sexually diverse reality. Here in Brazil, more than 15 million people are out of heteronormativity and do not have access to almost a hundred civil rights. We pay our taxes but we can not become, be or do many things. Brazil, like many countries, it is still sexist and homophobic, but the reality is improving. We're finding people like us, strengthening us.

[mootfw2001]

Well done. Cheers!

[pinkarmenia]

great video, thanks for this nice initiative, proud to watch it:)

[berneromain]

Hi, I'm a french living in Finland. Even if life's easier when one is hetero, i am proud to be a gay human.

[ArdenXY]

Semplicemente stupendo! I'm so proud to be gay =)

[2averageteens]

and what dose this accomplish

[ApplyUrBrain]

2averageteens ask what this accomplishes. Look at it this way, it's kinda like being in an expensive store... if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it! In this case, if you have to ask what this means, then you wouldn't understand it if we told you. Try this thought: We live in a world where the same T-shirts sold on a Chicago street corner are also sold on the street corners of Hong Kong & Dubai & Miami. Don't you want to savor diversity in this shrinking world while it still exists?

[navdizzle]

I'm a gay Sikh who lives in a small town in America. This video gives me so much hope when I'm feeling down. Wearing a turban, and having a beard, it's quite difficult fitting in with any community.

[LeoTribesman]

I grew up in the 50's when being gay was considered a mental illness, or worse yet, a perversion. The first time I saw this PSA I cried. It means so much to me to see so many proud gay men and women voicing their pride on TV for the whole world to see! I hope millions of people see this and finally understand that......

GAY IS A GIFT!

[smartwarlord]

@LeoTribesman

Wake up old man. There are billions of people who still view it as a perversion. Sorry to crush your dreams.

[kheelean]

@smartwarlord

It's not about those poeple who still think it is a perversion or illness.

It's about those people who want to express themselves -- that we are part of this world, too.

There are no crushed dreams as no queer believe that everybody accept us!!!

I'm proud to be gay, that I can stand my ground even it happened and still can happen that I'm called a fag, sissy, tapette, frocio, Schwuchtel, etc.

I'm proud to live in a country in which i have the possibility to be accepted.

[Scarls21]

Hi I'm Scarlett (from costa rica) but i live USA,Florida...and im sooo PROUD to be a Lesbian =)

[MarkieWatch100]

Very cool vid thanks for sharing! :)

I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and I'm proud to be a lesbian! :D

[80smart]

My name is Andrey, I'm from Russia and I'm so proud to be gay!

[softshock9]

It's really sad that they have to blur the Iraqi guy's face for his own protection. The middle east is wayyy behind in equal rights for gays (homosexual behavior is illegal). Sure the U.S. leaves much to be desired for equal rights but there are places in the world where the intolerance is at just ridiculous fucked up levels.

[littleharv64]

amen

[Shinhwayaoi]

I'm proud the are so many good persons in the world!!!!

W LGBT people!!!

[tony543111]

Or a chemical inbalance in the brain

Are there even people studying this?

[tony543111]

Is it a combanation of enviroment genetics and or chemicals that cause a person to desire the same sex?

[tony543111]

Has anyone even looked into the science of homosexulity how do we know it is not a mental disorder it is a honest question

[denirrazionale]

I'm italian and I'm very proud to be gay!

[Alwakra123]

[whisperer25]

[Fiochan1]

[Manschett]

I am Swedish and of course proud to be gay, there is no acceptable alternative.

[tennisdude2003]

i like lesbian not gay

[deadfrmsilence]

We're proud to be gay because we're proud to be who we are! We're proud because we are who we are despite the fact that being ourselves criminalizes us in so many countries, including 7 countries that have the death penalty. There are so many places and people that don't allow us to be ourselves that it's a real struggle. I am proud to be me, and so I'm proud to be gay!

-another proud American lesbian

[Syrisyin]

This made me smile :]

I'm a proud American lesbian.

[tammyr61]

AMEN! DelightByNight... as you can see by my comment I don't quite get it either ...and I'm a lesbian!

[DelightByNight]

I don't think that every country was mentionned in this video... and as second point, but it's my opinion, why are they PROUD to be gay? I don't understand the sence of this tape...when a soldier giving his live to save their country, that's a reason to be proud, when a mother brings a child to the world, that's a reason to be proud, when someone done something for the goodnes of someone els, that's a reason to be proud...etc. Not to be gay?!!

[tammyr61]

I don't get it, I'm gay but I just dont see the reason to be so reaking proud of it lmao... I mean nothing to be ashamed of by any means, but for cryin' out loud what's to be so proud of here!? Straights don't go 'round shouting they are proud to be straight do they? So, just let me say this... I have no shame in being who I was born as, nor embarrased of such, but c'mon now what's up wit da the whole "pride" thing really now!?Gotta love that lil Lizzy the Lezzy tho, eh!? LMFAO

[cairnage123]

Its just because a lot of the world isn't gay and think that gay people have no reason to be proud of it becuase its not normal.

[hotboymaulik]

Well its more about telling yourself that your proud of yourself for who you are.you dont to have say it out loud

[eyenodarnwell]

Where are thew Canadian Gays on this video? We are one of the first nations to allow gay marriage.

I am proud to be gay and Canadian.

[FaBFaB66]

I dont really care about gay people

just dont hit on me or something

god bless im ugly o_o

[chiversdarlingxo]

I HATE GAYSSSS.

[gerasp2007]

This is a big video and one great moment for world to wake up!!!

I'm pround to be gay!!!!

From São Paulo, Brazil

[damninfidel]

I think I have the freedom also to say

I'm proud to be straight !!!!!

and if it's real freedom then don't spam or mark my comment as poor

again : I'm proud to be straight !!!!!

[smarter80]

you're right. however, you may see that while being "proud to be gay" doesn't usually imply a dislike for being straight, being "proud to be straight" (almost inevitably) means you'd never want to have been born gay - which is short of disliking gay people themselves.

That's why minorities need affirmative actions, while majorities don't.

[sebas28mtl]

If straight is what u are, then yes u should also be proud !

[xmindthegap]

the guy from moroco is cute :D

[rikachudrums426]

great video and great song, thank you =D

[girlloverxoxo432]

I'm Mandy from US and I am proud to be a gay girl!

[sebas28mtl]

...Forgot to mention the heredity aspect...

It's been shown to be more prevalent on the mother's side of the family.

PS- for those who thumbed me down becoz I demonstrate that God is on yur side nomater what preachers say, well yur not helping our cause. It was prophesied that society will make you believe He doesnt exist (like Zeitgeist / ET propaganda) or is against homo. Just dont reject like uninformd closed minded antigay ppl, if ur down one day, u may wanna reconsider.

Proud!

[sebas28mtl]

Jon

SCIENCE demonstrated it's NOT A CHOICE IN OVER 90% of homo/bi sexuals.

The balance of estrogen, testosterone and Bhcg produced by ur mother during fetus growth is primordial on the brain sex differentiation coz u dont produce ur own sex hormones be4 late in pregnancy.

Enviromental Estrogen-like moleculs (soyprotein, herbicide...) impact that balance also

Brain scans often show intermediat size (between hetero male & hetero female) normal hypothalamus.

Hope U Open ur mind 2 Education.

[jonnyboyracerno123]

is it a choice

[rebafan14]

Hey im from the Us and i am proud to be gay

[12o3]

[DelightByNight]

First: We are NOT all Gay... What for kind of mission do you have? From where did you get it? Please wake-up an see the real life an how realistic it could be! You should know better than me to be proud of something else than to be gay..

Allah aklini korusun!

[hotboymaulik]

If everyone was straightthen the world be so F**king boringwe are constantly reminded we live in a straight worldand straight people always show off about their sexuality so I dont see why gay people shouldnt be proud of being gay.

Lol you should try it you might like it

[densor05390]

GOod video! but what is the reason why they call it the 'idaho challenge'??cuz i ran into this video by accident because i was searching for videos of idaho (the state) but i'm glad i ran into cuz it such a good video

[lauraleighcollins]

[ShadowFoxy101]

Hafa Adai! i'm Ayla from Guam and i am way proud to be gay!

[b4tm4n9]

I personally believe in the bible and that it is wrong to be gay/lesbian, but the bible also says that we are not here to judge and to point fingers. So I am happy that these people are able to stand up for what they believe in a world of hatred. Anyone who points fingers at them is just being a hypocrite and I am sure that if you were as brave as these people to be open about your life we could find things to judge you on. DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! =]

[ThePolarsong]

THANK YOU!!!

[sebas28mtl]

I AGREE, 2 more things:

Firstly, Jesus said the 2 MOST IMPORTANT commandments are (1)Love God in all heart soul mind and (2) love Others as much as yourself... Final!

The rest is all relative, nomatter what ppl say (including apostles) ...proof!:

2- Jesus NEVER said anything against (or about) gays. Even CAME IN DEFENSE of prostitutes who believed in Him, hence "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"...

Let guilt be soothed, "there can be NO condemnation for he/she who believes!".

[LethallxVanity]

It's not a belief my friend, it's how we were born.

Born gay and born proud!

[sebas28mtl]

PS- LOL I'm NOT comparing gays to prostitutes,

I'm just demonstrating that Jesus is the first one who preached how to love others even when we feel like hating...Even more, the first one who said: "Love your enemies".

You can't be more holy than that in my opinion.

Wouldn't have so much wars if more truly knew what he's all about.

BTW, BIBLE like other holy books, IS at least HALF CRAP becoz its been perverted by combining previous astrological bullsh*t religions with the life of Jesus.

[DelightByNight]

Thank you thank you thank you sebas28mtl!

Finaly someone who can think clear and can answer like it should be! I lovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeddddd your comments (ALL) :)

No matter who you are, just proud to be yourself...

As human, everyone has the rights to live with happiness without being discriminated.

I know this message is for LGBT community, but for me I proud to be "me" no matter what racial, religious, gender group I belong to...

We are equal and have rights to be proud.
