Thank you for your courageous vote Senator! I am proud of the New York Senate. Kudos from California!
Thank you very much Senator Hassell-Thompson. You make us proud. You made the deference. God bless you.
Wow. Excellent speech!
Probably; there are a lot of ignorant people in the world—so what?
Its is not a decision for you to make; if you don’t agree with it, act like an adult and keep harsh, prejudiced words to yourself.
Fantastic speech! Thank you.
Kudos to senator Hassell-Thompson for this great speech!
Outstanding! thank you for existing!
Amazing speech, she’s a great speaker and I love her explanation and thinking…maybe she’ll be president one day, never know
what a beautiful person and gifted orator
Gavel has been struck, and this group is not bringing it back in an election year next year.
Yes, it is perverse. My opinion, and probably your neighbors’, co-workers, and supervisors’ opinions.

Hi all. I know this is off-topic but some friends of mine came up with a good 7-minute video on why pot should be legalized. Take a look and if you think its a worthwhile video, send it to as many people as you can. Go up to the search bar and copy and paste these four words in: obama natural medicine Tylenol. It will be the first video that comes up.
Senator Hassell-Thompson,
As a young, gay man in middle-America, I can only wish more representatives around the country had your wisdom, eloquence and ability to discern what is right and what is popular. You are a credit to New York.
Thank you.
I’m very pleased to see a lot of very sensible reactions to this. Coming from the first country to legalise gay marriage (The Netherlands) makes me very proud, and I hope you all can be as proud of your own country as well, and soon, about this matter. Although it does saddens me that we still have to have these discussions in 2009(!)…. 2000 years after we first heard on record that love should be given to all, not just the people with who we agree.
Act irresponsibly?
It’s Youtube pal, not a senate meeting.
Feyeter - I had the same reaction. Here we have a senator giving a very heartfelt and personal account of her position on this issue, and those arrogant fools in the background aren’t evening listening. Diaz showed his true colors once again - he is a disgrace. When can he be ousted from government? He is a TOXIC!
This was a really beautiful speech. Thank you so much for your courage and compassion - you shared a very personal and heartfelt story. On a side note, it is with much disgust, but no surprise, that I see in this video that the hateful homophobe DIAZ was not even listening to your speech (see 3.20). Typical!
Not supposed to be like that in nature? Scientists have extensively observed HUNDREDS of species that DO have homosexuality in them. It IS like that in nature.
Britney Spears getting married is looney, too. What’s your point?
BEAUTIFUL SPEECH!
One of the most encouraging speeches I have ever heard… thank you from Europe
Is it perversion just because it bothers you or because you dislike it or find it disgusting? Let me tell you something, no-one wants to watch you have sex with someone of the opposite sex (and it is kinda gross to quite a few people); do they get up in arms about it and campaign for opposite-sex marriage to be abolished?
You can’t simply state that something is perversion or lunacy and pretend that it is.
