Bravery, Brilliance and RuPaul Charles | On the Spot | TED

When I was a kid, I had no heroes. I had no mentors or guides or people I really looked up to. Then I saw you, and that changed. I’ve admired you ever since because you seem to be so unapologetically and authentically yourself. That really hit hard for me as an overweight immigrant kid growing up in LA in the 90’s. ❤

I love this man with my soul. His autobiography was WONDERFUL!!! One of the best I’ve listened to yet.

Everyone needs a role model. As a gay guy who is comfortable with life, this isn't for me.

God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions.  Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who...  Understands
