3. Yeah
I didn't watch the Oscars but this was a great acceptance speech. It is past time for equal rights for all people.

5. I teared up
I teared up as well watching his speech. It was powerfully moving. I thank him for writing Milk and for what he said last night and a big shout out to his mom for loving him even when pressured not to.
