Madonna's Full St. Petersburg Speech

The MDNA Tour - St. Petersburg, August 9th.

[ginasousabranco]

Causing a commotion!!
When Madonna spoke up for gay rights in St. Petersburg, she was being sued for millions by a group of anti-gay Russian citizens because she dared to speak favorably of gay people.
She’s done a lot to embrace and bring awareness to the gay population; she spoke for AIDS back when she didn’t have to. She lost close gay friends to the epidemic back in the day.
She’s been gay ally, she continued to inspire and speak for gay rights.

Queen Madonna! You are a real inspiration and strong woman, thank you for all you have done for the human rights

[ginasousabranco]

The LGBT community knows who was always for over 3 decades their public support even in an 1980's conservative, uniformed, homophobic American society under the Ronald Regan administration: MADONNA
She was the one that in 1990 brought to the masses Vogue (from the gay underground culture), gay dancers, a gay mouth kiss & a pride parade on the Truth or Dare film (1991).
Plus Justify My Love (1990) + Erotica (1992) music videos, the Sex book (1992) & the Girlie Show Tour (1993).

[StaunchComic]

Always on the side of the LGBT community since the very beginning! When it wasn't a very popular thing to do! ♥ to MADONNA and her family!

[eddystronger]

Madonna… YOU'RE AMAZING!!!! What a BRAVE woman!!! Thanks for your love,

[JoseFlores-fegs]

You can't help but respect and Love her after watching this. I wish more people saw this side of Madonna

[addabcify]

Amazing... she is just great. More balls than any male pop star

[francohuttman]

This is probably the most insipiring video I've ever seen... The way people responds to Madonna's words with so much support and love is the most human thing someone who are so repressed could do... The way the raise their NO FEAR flags, are what gives us hope and can make me spill tears, not sadness, but hopeness and love tears... Thank you MADONNA <3

[janeknevermind]

She's words make me feel happy, make me feel strong, special. I love this woman. There's only one queen... and that's MADONNA!<3

[goodthings]

It makes me Happy that it is actually people in russia who supports gay marriage!! (In your face Putin)

[libra]

she has the balls to speak out, when it seems that the rest of the world doesnt bother or care!

[Euroviking]

Yet another reason to have mad respect for Madonna!

[unlikeavirgin]

Standing up against Putin’s antigay propaganda in his own country. What other pop star had the guts to this!? This woman is a warrior and has been since the beginning!

[storebooks]

I love what she says when she brings God, Jesus, religion into her talk. God & Jesus did not say hate one that is not like you & spread fear, they said love thy neighbor.  Jesus did not preach a path of hate, He preached love.  Any judging to do God will do it, we're to just love.  God DOES say, Thou Shalt NOT judge.

[GamefanTeam]

Я не был на этом концерте, но спасибо Вам огромное, за то, что не проехали мимо России! Сейчас многое что говорят. А я вот посылаю всех куда подальше! Thank you Madonna! Don't give up! Let the energy will guide You!
