President Obama to Gay Youths: IT GETS BETTER (with Transcript)

[maybememory1]

So glad that I live in Canada. For almost a decade same-sex couples have been able to marry here, and our country has not FALLEN APART.

For a nation who prides themselves on freedom, you sure don't walk the walk!

[bevon17]

how can you thumbsdown this?

Rep or Dem or neither.

how do you thumbsdown a message like this.

[akirafactor]

Niggerama has sucked more dicks than you, he speaks from experience.

[Demii0917]

if you study the scriptures BETTER,

you might find that NO ONE in the old testament law, were condemned because of ONE witness. there was often a court and a high priest who had to hear the complaints and hear the witnesses.

remember Moses had captains of 50 and judges throughout the land to consider important issues of life and death.

[freescence]

One of my favorite parts of this video is when he talked how kids think that being bullied is a right of passage and that they need to just grow up, but it's not. Bullying does NOT have to happen and it should NOT happen. I would love to be able to one day in the far future have kids of my own and tell them about this thing that we used to have called bullying and how i am so glad that it doesn't exist anymore. Now grant it I know that seems a wee bit far fetched, but it could happen.

[lgbtTV4]

@CDKJS Thanks. Believe it or not, I respect religious people. But if they're going to use it to form public policy, then I want them to prove its foundations first. When people ask why I'm so tough on religious folks, I always point out that I'm not one to bring up religion, i.e. I don't waste my time going into religious channels to force my beliefs. Religious folks are so weird... :)

Obama sounds good but he's not above God!

"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination." (Leviticus 20:13). "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you."

[lgbtTV4]

@Demii0917 wrote "Obama sounds good but he's not above God!"

I challenge you to prove that your god is any more real that Allah, Vishnu, Zeus or Odin -- or The Great Pumpkin. .I, on the other hand, can prove that Obama is real.

When you can prove its existence, then we'll discuss its role in government. -- in a country that is pluralistic, and cannot, by law, favor Christianity over other faiths (read the First Amendment and the Establishment Clause, and subsequent Supreme Court rulings).

[lgbtTV4]

Is this the same Fair and All-Powerful god that sends tornadoes through America's religious Bible Belt while Scandinavia -- where up to 80% are atheists and gays can get married -- have the healthiest, happiest, most stress-free people on Earth? Denmark tops a list for "Happiest Country" yearly based on accepted sociological criteria. Haha - your god sure has a sick sense of humor!!!

[Demii0917]

@lgbtTV4

You cannot argue with me your only arguing with the bible so I will not debate with you about who is greater. Jesus Christ is who I believe and trust in not man. =)

How about you read Matthew 24:7 that speaks on the natural disasters that have happened...and Revelations 1:8 which says "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." J-E-S-U-S!!!!!

[lgbtTV4]

@Demii0917 Blah blah blah. How pathetic of you to come to MY channel because no one would listen to your rants on your channel. ZERO subscribers. I bet no one listens to you in real life either. If you will not debate me, why did you bother posting your trash on my channel? Loser.

Why would I bother reading the idiotic bible when there are so many FACT based things to read? Duh. Since you understand the bible, why don't you explain to me why disasters happen to innocent children.

[lgbtTV4]

@Demii0917 Why would I argue with the bible? It's like arguing with Grimm's fairy tales. I argue with you because you're the lonely loser who posted nonsense in my channel, not the bible.

Why are innocent children suffering in disasters? Why are babies born deformed? Why did your god let the Holocaust happen? Why does god send random tornadoes through the religious US Bible Belt while people in Scandinavia, where 80%+ of the people are atheist, have the best health and least stress? Duh.

[lgbtTV4]

@Demii0917 the bible?

"Your...slaves are to come from the nations around you, from them you may buy slaves" (Leviticus (25:44)

So SLAVERY based on race is okay!

"You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life" (Leviticus 25:45)

"Those who are slaves must consider their masters worthy of all respect.... Slaves belonging to Christian masters must not despise them..." (1 Timothy 6:1-2)

Harriet Tubman and the abolitionists were sinners?

What a joke.

[lgbtTV4]

@Demii0917 The bible? haha

"Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: WHOSOEVER DOETH WORK THEREIN SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH." (Exodus 35:2)

So how should we execute those who work on Sunday? I guess we need to close all the Emergency Rooms on Sunday, which of course we don't need since your wonderful god surely wouldn't allow anyone to get sick on a day where he won't allow doctors to work, right?

WHAT A JOKE!

[iopenedpandorasbox]

@Demii0917 John 8:7 "He who is without sin, he may cast the first stone". When an adulterous woman was brought to Jesus to be stoned, he did not stone her, nor did he give permission to stone her, though he also picked up a rock, and stood right beside her. Even Jesus himself is not without sin. Who are you but a mortal, and as a mortal you have no right to judge other mortals. Judgment is befitting of God only, and we all will face judgement in our time for our sins, you and yours included.

[STLEO1]

Let me tell all of you something this dam GAY SHIT ISN'T NORMAL they are pretending to be GAY that all it a big different between being Gay and acting Gay

[SPARTANJACK15]

[comex51]

IT HAPPENS A LOT IN BRAZIL ,INCLUDING AMERICAN COMPANIES !

EXAMPLE: GLOBAL NDUSTRIES IN BRAZIL ! AND NOBODY DO NOTHING TO AVOID OR STOP IT !

[Myvideos2211]

I think he is. Or was a gay lol

[1alkasha]

A dramatic declaration and a personal expression of support from an American President to GLBT citizens and a simple reminder that elected representatives represent all of us bar none.

[lgbtTV4]

@1alkasha Beautifully said. Thanks.

[orrinoconnor]

@lgbtTV4 Yes, I buried my mother and father not far apart!

As a single GAY child and having nursed my mother at home 24/7 for almost 6 years (Alzheimer's) and my father for 2 of those years (Lung Cancer) I had little money no one to share the costs with.

Like most family like most family's today were not elitist and rich,,, they were however loved!

[orrinoconnor]

He looks and sounds like a mortician having a hard time selling a low cost funeral!

[951753hnb]

How can we prevent these kids from killing themselves when America itself perceives them as either a sinner going to hell or an outcast or misfit with the laws against narrate that proves one in it self that the "trusting adults" think it's wrong until the law changes and people understand that l.g.b.t is acceptable were not only going to have kids or teens but even adults killing themselves or even worse killing others. The people of the l.g.b.t community are humans just like anyone else we al

[geckosist]

[jasonsox2]

Obama is a good man. Obama is a president for ALL americans. I am no american, I am Dutch. And hopefully life for gay people will sometime be able to be honest about their Identity, just as in the netherlands. Hopefully, obama will be able to set the first step to a gay-friendly america.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Thank you for your work for equality for everyone. Come and join my channels.  I am part of a worldwide network of activists including the wonderful Rajesh Vedprakash from India, the SchmuckLook from Vermont, Karloffornia who is the first gay person to call me a "celebrity" and include me with other gaylebrities (even they don't do that) and so many others. You are among friends, and surprise, two out of three are straight!

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

You have pleased the Queen! The response is back.

[PhillyNonSequitur]

When a child of color gets bullied, he or she goes home to a family of color for comfort, and is NEVER shunned by family for being of color.

When a gay child is bullied, he or she has no one at home who understands exactly what it feels like to be bullied for being gay. Most gay children can't even express who they are or how they feel about the discoveries they have made about themselves. A gay child, often being the only gay family member, is very often shunned by family for being gay.

[OlimpicChamp3]

@PhillyNonSequitur Thats a lie, I have lots of gay friends who are open about it and their families support them with it!

[PhillyNonSequitur]

@OlimpicChamp3 Are your gay friends family gay? Probably not.

A gay youth is alone in the family & singled out in the family simply because the parents are not gay.

Yes, occasionally there are other gay siblings, or a gay relative. But 90% of the time the gay child is the only one.

And no matter what you say, no one in the family knows what it's like to be gay.

While parents of a child of color know exactly what he's going through, the parents of a gay child hasn't experienced the same issues.

[PhillyNonSequitur]

@OlimpicChamp3 BTW- Are you gay? If not, how would you know?

It would be like a white guy saying he gets the whole black experience, a man saying he understands the pain of womanhood, a woman saying she understands why a man's sex drive is so strong, or the rich understanding what it's like to live on $875 a month on Social Security.

They all may empathize, but none of them really know, do they?

[OlimpicChamp3]

@PhillyNonSequitur No, i"m not, and i know that they probably don't have anyone who knows what its like, but I'm referring to the part where you say " A gay child, often being the only gay family member, is very often shunned by family for being gay."

Perhaps you didn't mean what I thought you meant, maybe you should have used a different word other than shunned? Or maybe you just don't know what the word really means, try looking it up.

Sorry for the misunderstanding :P

[iopenedpandorasbox]

@PhillyNonSequitur That is true, or they could be fully accepted. Depends on the parents. All I can really say for GBLT teens out there is if you need someone to talk to, and you don't think you can trust your parents, start looking around you, look to your friends parents, look to your aunts, uncles, older cousins, look to the aunts and uncles of your friends if you know them, because I gaurantee you at least one of them at some point has had a GBLT friend or they themselves might be GBL or T.

[PhillyNonSequitur]

@iopenedpandorasbox What a brilliant piece of advice. Thank you. I will expand on your idea. To all the LGBTQ youths out there (Q is for questioning), please remember You Are NOT Alone. Just type "LGBT Youth Services" and the city near you, into any search engine. If you fear you may be found out, get into the habit of wiping your browser history after each use.

You can also visit Planned Parenthood. They can direct you to a safe space and answer any questions without judgement.

[iopenedpandorasbox]

@PhillyNonSequitur Didn't know that about planned parenthood, thank you. :) I actually started questioning my sexuality (I'm bi) when I was a young teen, & it was actually my older cousin that I ended up reaching out to, because as it turns out, he himself is bi also. We were always close, growing up, he was more like an older brother to me than a cousin so for that to be as it was for me was just the best thing ever. Someone I trusted n was comfortable with n could talk to. Very lucky 4 me.

[timelessHodan]

@PhillyNonSequitur true!!

[wilv79]

I find this video hypocritical of him. He's telling people it's ok to be themselves but is supporting a policy that forces gay men and women to lie about who they are and forces them to pretend to be something else in order to be accepted. He should have said "It gets better, as long as you don't want to serve in the military".

[TMcFee]

The balls on this man is amazing. Lets see him put his money where his mouth is and actually stand up to the gay bullying that happens in his organization under his watch with his consent and support. How dare he sit there and tell us that bullying gays is wrong while he fights to continue discrimination in the military. Absolutely indefensible and completely unacceptable.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

@TMcFee  He does have amazing balls...

[raiders2000]

...WTF IS THIS GARBAGE !.. oh yea Now Obama speaks about bullying.. gee i wonder why.. coz it's all about this shallow pro gay movement !!... ENOUGH ALREADY!!.. BULLING IS BULLYING !..IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING GAY!.. WAKE UP U SHALLOW PEOPLE..

..yea where was Obama the liar when Phoebe Prince got bullied? ...oh yea that's right, she wasn't a lesbian that's why he didn't speak up for her... NO GAY RIGHTS !

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

@raiders2000 I've been speaking up for bullied kids no matter what persuasion for several years now... and I'm gay AND a drag queen

[hotpotato44]

@raiders2000 You couldn't be more wrong and ignorant to this subject. Bullying can be much harder for homosexuals considering that they may not have someone at home to talk to about the issue in fear of being disowned. And when you don't have someone to talk to about the bullying, you may think that there is something wrong with you and no other way to get rid of these feeling other than to commit suicide.

He's speaking about 10% of the US population. Not 1 individual.

[mymindourdream]

Obama is the best men of this beginning of the century.....who thinks that what him is saying,even if hetero(imagine her wife's high desperation...),has a brain less developed than an ant....

[libanadam]

@mymindourdream englez please

Viewers can see a transcript in 3 ways:

1) Click on the icon {looks like a sheet of paper) to the left of number that tells you how many VIEWS this video has. A moving transcript will appear.

2) Go right above the VIEW number and look for the CC. Click on that to see subtitles on the video.

3) Look in the description for a full transcript, which I copied directly from the White House website.

[polityes]

can someone tell me where I can find the text? I don't understand very well because my language isn't English.

[1963Nomadi]

ADD ME ALL :)

[bracken1000]

President Obama has a guilty look on his face. He's guilty of lying about wanting to repeal DADT. He has no credibility left as a President and will find himself out of office at the end of his current term as voters eject him en masse. His Democratic Party are a bunch of lying creeps too.

[lgbtTV4]

@bracken1000 What President Obama is guilty of is playing politics with Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Few doubt that he is truly against DADT and for gay rights. But like President Clinton, who created DADT, political reality guides his actions (but not his heart). As for the Democrats, your sweeping generalization has no basis in fact. Prove that the majority of Democrats lie, and lie more than other parties. More importantly, since this is a gay video, what party has done more for gay rights?
