I agree it is groundbreaking.
And I agree it is a wonderful speech. I just wish it was delivered to our own legislators & policy makers. To our own judges. And our own immigration officials (who deny LGBT asylum seekers every single day). I wish our highest elected & appointed officials could see the poignancy (& hypocrisy) of this address. And I wish they were so inspired to do something about it *here* in the United States. I hope it goes without saying that I am beyond thrilled that the US is committing resources aimed at establishing basic human rights for LGBT people in other parts of the world. I just feel a huge amount of "physician heal thyself" given our current, particularly virulent & homophobic, political culture.
