This video needs to be shown to all the bigots possible. I have started to do that thing.

I agree Tim, it does need to be shown to everyone. I was delighted to see he got a standing ovation, even though a couple of people remained seated.

I was very much moved by this man's sensitivity and passion. What a wonderful guy. We need more people like him.
