6. Speech. Of. The. Night. Penn was right up there, too. The reason these were so powerful, is that

Milk personifies the fight for acceptance in this world for the 1/4 billion or more GLBT people who struggle with acceptance because of the judgment inflicted by closed-minded or simply ignorant individuals - I am so proud of Mr. Black that he told an audience of hundreds of millions in countries all over this world that GOD loves them and to ignore the hatred from their govt's or their churches.

MAGNIFIQUE!

It was very powerful and a bit thanks should go to his mom for loving him even when pressured not to. You know that has to be one of the reasons he has become the success his is.
