Congratulations! When the rugby coach in “Heartstopper” reminds Charlie that”there are a lot of gay people good at sports,” I immediately thought of YOU and what a fantastic role model you are to LGBTQ youth. Thank you!

My mind instantly went to Tom

lol it made me think of that episode of “Bones” where their victim is a gay football player and they assume it’s a hate crime and they go to the field where his team practices and confront them about it, and they all kinda look at each other and say “yeah…we know he’s gay. We all are, this is a gay league.” And it’s all these huge, buff guys, and of course Booth is confused but bones is just like “oh, ok” 🤣

[@ScottRedstone]

I am happy to report that my husband and I benefited from your husband’s work on marriage equality. We celebrated 40 years together and 11 years married. In March. When I first saw Steven was very shy but something told me got say hello to him. It was a McDonalds on Saturday afternoon. I remember thinking if I don’t say something I’ll regret it. I did say hello and 40 yrs later no regrets. You two guys are helping so many young people to be proud and embrace love. Thanks.

[@vinasanjoyo]

Happy to hear your story too Scott!! Hope you and your husband all the best 💕

June 26, 2013 was the day when the United States Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision on _Hollingsworth v. Perry_ that struck down California Proposition 8 that would have banned same-sex marriage in the state of California. Dustin Lance Black was founder and board member of the American Foundation for Equal Rights that was established to support the plaintiffs that brought the federal court challenge in 2009. Same-sex marriage resumed in the state of California after the ruling.

I don’t know if this will be related to the video, but I just want to leave a comment about how much I’ve been enjoying Under the Banner of Heaven!! Every episode has been amazing and I can see how much care Lance has put into it. I’ve been forcing my friend to watch it along with me lol

[@Sigita989]

if you have twitter you should write that message to Lance. he won't see it there. think he would like to see it.

[@heath2510ok]

Based on your comment I will also watch it thank you

Lance Black is a very remarkable man and a fine writer. You're a lucky man...

[@tracymorgan5386]

Lance is lucky too with this talented cutie.

[@garyg6000]

Tom, it's great that you understand the ways in which Lance is different. He was so interested in you that he did things outside of his comfort zone or typical behavior. You are both very fortunate to have found each other.

[@dtpeacelive8500]

The way you blessed when you talk about Lance is so cute

[@compound00]

Love the how we met stories. Remember Tom being in Houston, TX. In the Montose years ago. Glad he blossomed and has his soulmate.

You glow when you talk about Lance. Best Wishes to you both and your baby!!!

[@lukehayes3799]

Tom the most important thing in life, is that your very happy. You met the Wright person for you. You accepted who you are, came out to the world. Many years later, you have a family and your son was born. I'm so proud of you Tom. A great inspiration to many. Me, I was afraid of my sexuality. Because of my family's beliefs. I'm nearly 55 now Tom live alone and lonely. If only I had the courage lad. Wishing you all a long and happy life Tom, Lance and Robbie.

[@rockerdude20111]

Congratulations on your 5th wedding anniversary. My husband and I got married this January (been together almost 10 years now). Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together.

[@spunkymonkie]

A lovely story Tom, my husband and I have been married 5 years this week, and have been together for around 15 years.

[@darrylb9872]

This was great hearing your personal account of how the two of you met and developed a more meaningful relationship over time. Now, I wonder about Lance's version.😊

[@rachelt-l1927]

Love your "How We Met" story ❤️. You and Lance are so blessed to have the family and friends you have around you, who have been so accepting, welcoming and supportive. One of your greatest blessings, is your son Robbie who is growing up to be one fine little (gentle)man. 💙 Thank you for sharing. You are a great role model for the next generation. Congratulations to Lance's UTBOH and to you for your OBE. ❤️

[@jonathanlee4305]

I totally was tearing as you described it. It’s just a true life romance story. Real, full of stumbles and crazy incidents. Nothing Hollywood, nothing sparkly dust etc. LOVE IT

[@WilsonWatt-q2e]

Thank you so much for all you share with the general community as well as our community. When I came out in 1965 [I am 77] a family like yours only existed in my fantasy for the future. I feel lucky to have seen that fantasy come true and feel rewarded for spending time all my adult life working for the possibility of the fantasy to become reality. Thank you again.

[@jexo5206]

Actually I've heard this before but I would still love to watch your story as a movie, if possible

[@AnjithaPC]

Why the hell am I blushing and smiling like the cat who ate the Canary watching this☺️☺️☺️

[@patricksicard_psy]

Hi from Calgary Tom. I just love the story of how you and Lance met. Your stories are fascinating, as are you, Robbie and Lance. You have a wonderful family and I know how hard you have worked in the building of this union. You’re truly inspiring and respected. Wishing you and Lance a very happy anniversary 😻

[@Joeyjoey53]

Love this story about you and Lance. For sure would love to hear more about you both. You both are awesome together. Reminds me of how l met Chris been together now for 8 years. Hugs Joe and Chris

This “Love Story” and “Meet cute” are probably the most adorable things ever. I enjoy the feelings which the story invokes in me every time I hear, read, think or remember it. I enjoyed the video immensely. Thank you very much for sharing your love story again.

[@johanbotes543]

So inspiring. Also met my partner when he was 18. We've been together 17 years now. I honestly think your guys' story would make an absolutely amazingly romantic movie!! Love you guys. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations Tom on 5 years of marriage to Lance. I've been following you for quite awhile and am so happy about all your success and happiness. It was great to hear a more in depth version of meeting Lance and hearing about how your love blossomed and grew. I love hearing about your life with Lance and Robbie. ❤️

Loved hearing this story! Thank you so much for continuing to share personal details of your life - along with Lance and Robbie, of course. I’m so glad you decided not to give up diving back in 2013 (which probably seems like a lifetime ago for you). Please continue to share more storytime videos which are always entertaining, heartfelt and full of surprises and I look forward to seeing next week’s video discussing Robbie’s arrival. Huge congrats to both you and Lance on your 5th anniversary!! 🎉 🥂👬🏻 ❤️ 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Enjoyed hearing the story of the two of you. I knew Lance was involved with the film industry, but had no idea of his involvement in the Harvey Milk movie, or that he was involved in the fight for marriage rights.

Hi Tom congratulations on your wedding anniversary great to see you back on KZbin is that you now retired from diving or are you coming back to the sport think Marty will be lost without you you are a great diving team mate also lance might miss him lol xxx

Thank you for sharing your story with us! As a fellow LGBTQ, it gives me hope to think we can be happy too!

[@brunerguy1]

That is, perhaps, the most (shall we say) sensual post you have ever made. That you and Lance locked eyes and became boyfriends seems only a pale version of what this post suggests. He was/is enthralled with the possibly most gorgeous young adult male in the world. And, you were now dating an Academy Award winner before you turned 20. Wow! I think most of us following you get the picture you leave undescribed…bless you both for the years of your love and the brilliant son you share and parent.

[@QZara]

I'd heard this beautiful meeting story from both of you so many time, and read some of the details in yr current book too...it's always exciting to hear... Since I'm a new fan, it's blessed to see some of the photo that I'd never see before, and I believe all of those memorable pictures might from your years back of scrap books that I remember that you said you'd made it as yearly Christmas gift for Lance, (I wonder if there's 8 stack of it on your collection now....) I love you, send my love to Lance and this lovely-checky little man, Robbie ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheUnicornHeart]

How thankful are you and Lance to that mutual friend for introducing you? 🥺

[@klwl]

To follow up on that question: was your mutual friend actually planning to set both of you up, or was it a mere coincidence? How about Lance's account/recollection of, and thoughts about, the entire process?

Congratulations for you relationship and mariage to Lance. I been in my relationship with my boyfriend for 43 years and maried for 9 years next June. It gets better everyday and we keep falling in love every day. Being gay and together in 1979 was a bit of a challenge, but everything has changed now and it is much better. I live in Canada and our government just outlawed gay therapy treatment and changes will be in effect about bieng allow to give blood to blood bank starting next September. So things are really changing. I remember watching to mini-series that Lance made on the story of the gay movement in the US. That should be re-broadcast. I cannot remember the title but it was very good. Let hope that it will not start to go backward with the actual US supreme court changing what was won as far as marriage equality. Times are difficult again in some states. Thanks for all your work both of you. It is refreshing ot see you raise a child and being so active with so many things. I am proud of you two.
