Madonna Accepts Advocate for Change Award FULL SPEECH | GLAAD Media Awards | Logo TV

[@gregory7567]

The media really makes Madonna look like she's out of control and crazy but she's not. She's very intelligent and is quite aware of the world she is in. She has brought happiness to millions of people through her music and her humility.

I hate how gays have abandoned her just because she's older now. The day this woman transitions to the great beyond, which I pray with fervor won't be anytime soon, I will mourn for the rest of my life. If it wasn't for her generous heart to inspire people to be themselves authentically, I would not be here today.

Madonna is literally the last one standing from an era of greats that no one born post 90’s could ever comprehend. When she broke into the industry mid 80’s she captured global attention. The height of fame and the whole media frenzy that surrounded her, for years, hasn’t been recreated by any single star since, even with the power and assistance of social media. Just take that in for a second, She’s a legitimate icon, the true queen of pop. She’s reinvented herself countless times but every time she’s got it right both musically and aesthetically. She’s evolved so much over the course of four decades. It’s great to see her picking up an award but she definitely deserves way more recognition for her achievements within the industry. I hope in the next couple of years she agrees to do a sit down, in depth interview looking back over her life, all of it, the good the bad and the ugly. It’s was great to see Andy Cohen sat back laughing his head off, living his best life too he’s also great at what he does.

[@brettleypellicone5106]

I was 12 years old when Madonna hit the charts. I was a gay boy in small town America, scared (almost) to death that anyone would discover my secret. I can't exactly explain why, but it was Madonna and her spirit, her music, and her aura that made me comfortable in my own skin. I am probably still alive today because those scary, difficult, formidible years in this young boys life happen to coincide with Madonna's meteoric rise and her influence on culture and society. She was the life raft that just happened to be floating by at a time when I was drowning. Or maybe, just maybe, it was more Divine than just lucky timing. I've never written these words before, but its high time I did; Thank You Madonna for everything.

[@CyrilNarayan]

I understand you, for me it was Xena and Buffy, who gave me the strenght... That can look stupid but that was so important.

[@billmilosevski2726]

It's because her music, live shows, art, her rebellious nature, it all represents freedom. At its core that's what her message is. Whether she's singing about relationships, sex, keeping her baby, dancing, that's what you're having trouble putting your finger on and explaining. That's why people love her. But this is also why people can't stand her. Some people can't stand people being so free and not giving 2 f***s and helping others be happy. That's usually religious people 😅 coz they're so caught up in they're rules

[@colegio2239]

Recently, I came out to family members, who I thought would support me unconditionally. I was wrong: because when I invited them to my wedding one stated it was against their religious beliefs, that same sex marriage was against the Bible. I found their stance to be hypocritical, and their ideas antiquated and closed minded! Madonna has always inspired me with her music and her 16:46fearlessness to stand up to bigotry prejudice, homophobia and oppression.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Sorry that happened to you, hope you and your partner are doing okay. Madonna inspires me too.

[@andrezinhogamer7208]

I guess you should also respect people's religious beliefes, values..There's no such thing as gay marriage. There's only marriage.Standard marriage is the christian one, between man and a woman.One can have other kinds of marriege, and marry the way one's want. I for example, married my kids my mom and my closest ones, because to me marriege means partnership for growing, creating, improving .And tha's what my family has been doing for me. The problem with gay community is that they want to be accepted in christian tradition, which is impossible , due to the fact that there are requirements for one to be considerd married in this TRADITION. And... I feels sorry for you, because nothing can change that.It is what it is 16:46 .Acceptance is all you can count on in this subject. It also doesn't mean people don't support you. They may support you but do not condone with something they don't think make any sense due to their world conception. I wouldn't attend to a gay marriage cerymony if I was invited to because the fact is that true christian marriage is between man and woman. Anything oit of that, once again, according to Christian tradition CAN'T be named marriege.Even if it was my own child. I think parents are not here to please our childreen even grown ones. Parents have to stand for what is the standard we have to teach childreen the way we see according to our values. It wouldn't make any sense to me to attend to something I don't believe in It is not called prejudice. IT IS CALLED RESPECTING your self firsthand. Ilove human beings, Love gays, nothing against their way of life. But it seems to me, most of the time that they blame us for their condition. They don't accept themselves and Start Mocking Hetero's way of life. I say this because I have seen this kind of behaviour among friends of mine who are gay. So , as I was saying not attendig to the marriage ceryomny woudn't make me feel a prejudice person person at all. It is all a matter of values and beliefes and being coherent to them. Each one has his owns and no one is better than others, nor right or wrong ones. It's a metter of respecting how pople want to live and want to do and what one's think that it's right, according to those values. Live and let live. Don't be so judgmental about people who don't think or live the way you do or else the way you want them to do. You don't need people's aproval to be who you are..do you? So stand for yourself and live the way you want, an live your family alone. Don't blame them. You're not here to judge anyone. Just do not accept disrespect. Respect and you shall be respected.

[@colegio2239]

@@andrezinhogamer7208 You are missing the point. In no way did I even suggest that everyone should adhere to my personal narrative. With that being said, if another person denies my right to love and happiness based on antiquated thinking that is prejudiced and flawed. Even Jesus walked with and accepted everyone without judgement. I’m blessed now that everyone in my family accepts me and recognizes I am the same person I have always been. If you reject or deny gays the right to marry you are in the minority. Also, if gays marry that does not affect non gays in any way, people will just live their own way because it’s in their DNA to do so. There is room on this planet for everyone, if you disagree with something, then it’s your perogative to live your life your way as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. Also, before berating me at least educate yourself and learn to spell!

This is a global superstar that the "INDUSTRY" & "THE MEDIA" still for whatever reason, still continue to try & bring you down & not even give you the proper credit of who you are as a world super fantastic :HUMANITARIAN" always fighting for change. She is not just about her music & career, this is a woman who has not only changed the spectrum of this great fearless woman to become out warrior & not backing down but going & moving forward to continue to be strong & fearless no matter what the cost or even hurting her to be respected among the players in the "INDUSTRY"? Madonna is not only a strong woman world global superstar & a humanitarian, but also an individual who has surpassed all artists & only Elizabeth Taylor & President Bill Clinton have received the GLAAD Change awards. Madonna is simply a world class superstar who has put the icing on our special type of wonderful tasty cakes in our revolving lives of where we are & where we are going? Madonna may not possibly remember me? but I lived briefly in New York from 1980-1983 & I used to see her in the clubs like Dancetaria, CBGEEBS & The Fun House & I was always intrigued & amazed among with my cousins always agreeing & say : She's a magical genius of this already so sure & super confident of herself already, even then, My family & over 100 hundred friends & family known as The Valtier, Menchaca, Diaz families will always respect, love & championed Madonna no matter what she does & where she happens to do next. I still/we strongly believe & feel that your biography project should be a major film feature on the big screen, Please do not allow other's in thier producing business to distract you into your dream? Please Guy O' Seary & Madonna do not go to a television miniseries? Please don't trust them * fight for your story bio for THE BIG SCREEN. Trust me/us & yout story/screenplay will be nominated * win awards in 2026,
