Try to catch the Lawrence O'Donnell show tonight if there's anyway you can.
Edited on Thu Oct-14-10 09:44 PM by Parker CA
An absolutely unbelievable speech a Texas council member gave about his experience being bullied for being gay, and about his plea for young LBGT kids to find outlets and help if they're being bullied, and to not take their own lives. Truly one of the most moving things I've seen in quite awhile.

Wow. This man is a hero in my eyes.

4. That was one of those moments where everything goes quiet and the impact of that man's words are
heavier than cement.

10. Have you posted this is the videos forum?
This is one of the most powerful, moving statements I've ever seen.

And don't NOBODY mess with Texas after this!
