I came for Ruby, and I stayed for everyone else too. Thank you for this. Words can’t even describe how much this makes me feel loved.

[@dwiputrisutanto1945]

I'm so happy to have discovered Janet Mock here 😘 ... What a lovely person to get so openly emotional right before the 9min mark... A true lesson in empathy

[@Andrew_Warden]

You gotta do this every year, EW. That was amazing.

[@madalebenz7929]

When I saw Ruby Rose 😘

[@ElleBoogie_]

Janet Mock is beautiful. Like sis is way more beautiful than I am on my best day. I could never. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I'm here because of a half hour documentary I watched in my country - Ireland about Senator Norris. One snippet of his life was a time he came on a top entertainment chat show back in 1982. I was aware that homosexuality was considered a crime at the time but I was completely taken aback on what I was about to see - Basically he is walking onto set and just as he is about to be interviewed by this young woman he is suddenly hit with such venom - Are you homosexual? to which David Norris responds quite openly and more than happy to answer - yes I am! She spits back, Are you sick! No, I am not sick I'm a homosexual. And because he said - I am not sick - the next day he had to go to a doctor to get a cert to say that he was in his right frame of mind. It really hit me how people viewed homosexuals and how collective society works. I saw that documentary about a month ago and I still can't get that moment out of my mind - And then fast forward to now and I think it is an absolute miracle we ever moved on. I mean, I live in the 1st country that recognises gay marriage. It completely blows my mind. I have celebrated pride but I think I am now forever going to be more proud and grateful for it and appreciate it more. These are people. Good People and I think it is important we look out for each other. There are enough problems in the world than people not being allowed to be who they are. Let People be. ~ Be kind.

I Ike the video we here to Support Thanks for Sharing We Love 💕💕❤️❤️ You Amazing

[@Marine_bln]

Anderson Cooper's awesome !

[@AnimeFan0048]

These people are freaking amazing and show that the LGBTQ+ community is valid and just as special as everyone in the world. So to them and everyone that helps spotlight this Thank you so much! 😊

[@feliciabuchanan9803]

Fabulous video, I have always been proud of the community. The expression is strong and means a lot to me. My Uncle didn't come out until he was middle age. He told his brother when he was 11 as a secret.

[@davidgeorja]

Ay ay ay the background music

[@CHOMAD]

Omg.. I’m korean boy!! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 I love this video 🙆🏻‍♂️🙏🏻❤️

[@mmlas8683]

Anderson Cooper is just so delicious. Those arms!

[@QuinnChangMartin]

Jannet is one of the most amazing people I love her and this

[@tylermoheekin5005]

Why is the gay, racism, sexual equality, and war countries still a topic. Shouldn't humans be past all of this by now...🤨🤨🤨

[@evelyndiaz9543]

Tyler Moheekin because , this is something that’s going to continue forever , these kind of topics are supposed to be heard 💁🏻‍♀️

[@ElleBoogie_]

I'm so ashamed to say, I 1000% thought Wilson Cruz was Al Reynolds. I legit had to Google Star Jones' ex husband to recall Al Reynolds' name and photos. I'm sorry to this man.

[@ibrahimola6219]

Janet is smart & BEAUTIFUL !

[@RubyMoney2255]

I hate to say this but I'm a straight person who supports the LGBTQ community.

[@bighook3079]

Anderson pooper lol

[@mare5814]

Melissa

[@7392318]

From what I see no one here is bi, so bi was not represented. Why?

[@dballard66]

Since I can’t find anywhere else to say this - just received my issue of EW celebrating LGBTQ pride. Okay fine, while not directly impacted, I’ll celebrate your struggles and advancements as well. But then, I get to the Bullseye page and see a jab about the new Magic the Gathering tv series joking about how it appeals to virgins. Hey EW, 20 million people play that game, that has been around for 25 years. Way to show ignorance in an issue celebrating our differences. Big miss.

[@xenaswolf]

Melissa you lost all my respect after dumping the 2nd wife and set of kids. It's ok though, Karma caught up with you.

[@skyejp4975]

You don’t know what went on
