If you didn't know, the whole think is a callback to an old Apple advertising campaign, and if you say it should be "Think Differently," look at the Wikipedia article called "Think Different" under the "Grammar" header.
I'm Daniel Burnett. Today I can proudly say I AM WHO I AM. I'm from a small town in the heart of the Bible belt. Growing up my parents and church drilled into me that I was wrong for being who I am, gay. I'm now 21 living in Colorado and I'm proud to say that "Thinking Different" has changed my life. I have missed out on being roommates with people because of my sexual orientation and have been made to feel like I wasn't even a real person, but today is new and I'm proud to say that I AM GAY!
@quiver456 lol i'm more worried about the font. it's the same font Apple Computers used to use in the 90s/early 2000s. It's makes this video look like a retro Apple ad! hahahahaha!!
America is a country built on freedom and equality. I simply DO NOT get how this nation can still stand against gay people, black people and jewish people. Its racism should be ZERO.
GO FOWARD guys! I think this is the way to fight for the American Dream, FREEDOM and EQUALITY.
It's like you read my heart all through high school I was the one crazy enough to
Think I could change the world and I would get put down by others for reaching so high in life. This video just made me that much more determine! -:) I can not wait for the whole thing.
0:17 - 0:20 Ahhhhhhhhhh It's BAYARD RUSTIN!!!! I want a husband like him so bad!!!! Dr. Martin Luther King's Movement would have not been if it wasn't for him... Thank You Bayard Rustin for being a Openly Monumental Homosexual who said no to all obstacles & overcame all adversities. BAYARD RUSTIN The Great!!!!
Thinking about the issue, it's kinda shocking that a gay rights documentary hasn't been emphasized up until now. Maybe that's because all of the activists have only had apearances on Anderson Cooper and Larry King, they thought they were doing enough talking by about how bad gay suicide is? But the gay story news specials aren't that frequent, and they don't seem to dissuade our antagonists enough due to that. Maybe a movie really will make the difference in aproaching gay rights. I'm excited
Ryan thanks to you im starting something. I refuse to stand for the pledge not in disrespect to those who died but to start a revelation the lgbt community is always being put down and until there is equality for ALL men and women i wont stand for the pledge.
Ryan you have already changed the world! To change the world, you have to believe in yourself and who you are, then those around you see and believe and begin to think differently...they too become the change.
I honestly cried when i saw lady gaga. she means everything to me. and you ryan- are an inspiration. im straight but i fight for gay rights, and in highschool; you get bullied for that. but its bettter to fight for whats right<3
For those thinking that it's Think Different[LY], "Think Different" gets the point across, is simpler, easier to remember, and can connote multiple meanings through use of the word 'different' eg outcasts, crazies, rebels, heroes, or simply being the word different and choosing to see past society's long enforced* opposition to gay marriage. I don't know for a fact, but I think Ryan chose this title knowingly.
@xsoccerdork That's very likely. The very notion of his slogan is crazy but revolutionary, so it incites a positive thinking about change. :3 Good elaboration!
You are just an inspiration to me and to all of man kind. I am glad I lived in your era to be a witness of how much you are helping the world become a better place, a bit at a time. Thank you for everything. <3
@Shawncherchio You can answer your question yourself.... Is one who thinks different pushing to move the world forward, or to move it backward? In what direction was Hitler pushing the world, according to you?? And in which direction is someone who clamors for equal rights for all pushing the world? I'm sure you have the amswers to that....
@sobelou there both pushing backwards. Its not about equal rights, we all have the same rights! marriage is between one man and one woman. Gay people have those same rights as we do, we both can marry a person of the opposite sex. I don't hate gay's, but I do believe its not moving us forward as a country.
@Shawncherchio Marriage used to be between one white woman and one black woman. Obviously things have changed. And things need to change again.
Sure, I could marry a woman, but being gay, I obviously have no interest in doing so. I want to marry my partner, my male partner.
I, as a gay man, do not have the right to marry my partner, who is a legal consenting adult. This is unacceptable, as the government has no right to restrict what two consenting adults do.
@NickSparkss If Marriage has nothing to do with the government, than it must have been made that way by God, since it is why would you want to be married?
You just don't get it. I'm a male, I can get married to a female, or I could be gay,
your a male, you can get married to a female or you can be gay. it doesn't get any fairer than that. just cause you or i have a right doesn't mean we have to use it!
@Shawncherchio Marriage has everything to do with the government. To be married, you need a marriage license, which is issued by your state's government, to be legally married. A legal marriage license has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
And I assure you, I do get it. It is unconstitutional for the government to restrict a group of people's right to be married, or adopt children, or donate blood and bone marrow.
This is a problem of inequality across the board.
@Shawncherchio What kind of childish logic is that? A person who's gay, by definition, will not feel attracted to a person of the opposite sex, so what's the worth of telling them that they have the right to marry someone they're not attracted to? Every human being should have the right to share their lives with someone they can love, and I'm specifically talking about two adults. Anyone who has a life shouldn't care about the lives of others that strongly.
@Joanlockheart oh I didnt know this was aimed for the gay community, totally lost the point, then yes she does fit in there! I thought it was on political views and generally about justice and....u know what? I think Im just a little bit tired the times is late here in Sweden I didnt really think clear... let's pretend I never made a comment abt it ;)
He made this video similar to Apple's "Think Different" video on purpose, guys... It's to show that if we could make amazing changes in the world of technology, then we can do the same with society and helping support the LGBT community.
i really love the videos you make and everything and I know your a dude... But I get kind of sad that you mostly highlight the gays and not really the lesbians....
I have one question how do you feel about those who don't necessarily agree with you. They don't hate you or have anything against you, but they simply do not agree. I did not ask in an offensive way I'm just curious. By the way this video was awesome.
I cannot wait for the documentary to be out. To be a part of it what kind of involvement will we be in?
