Hello my friends! I have seen and witnessed so many things over the past two years. And I can say with such certainty that,this is the single most important moment in my career.

　　I am humble to stand before all of you here today. I know that some of you have been fighting and doing advocacy work that stems all the way back to the Stone Wall Riots. And I salute you. And you know I love Judy Garland. I'm also inspired by the masons of all the young people here today. The younger generation, my generation!

　　We are the ones coming up in the world. And we must continue to push this movement forward and close the gap. We must demand full equality for all. They say that this country is free, and they say that this country is equal. But it is not equal I'm afraid sometimes. Obama, I know that you're listening. Are you listening!

　　We'll continue to push you and your administration to bring your words and promise to a reality. We need CHANGE now. We demand actions now. And to Barney Frank, we're putting more than pressure on this grass. Today this grass is ours.

　　We will come away today and continue to do the work, in our own backyards. With our local politicians.

　　And just for my backyard. As a woman in pop music, as a woman with the most beautiful gay fans in the whole world. To do my part, I refuse to accept any misogynistic and homophobic behavior in music, lyrics or actions in the music industry!

　　I'm so very honored to have this platform here today and I will continue to fight for ful equality for all. I love you all so much

　　Bless God and bless the gays!
