    This is an amazing acceptance speech! I keep watching it because it is such a good speech (and because I have a slight obsession with Anderson Cooper..lol)

    Loved MDNA's Ironic yet powerful statement she make via her Boy's Scout outfit!!! I always wanted to be a Girl's scout as a kid until I found out they weren't like the Boy's Scouts. Then I REALLY didn't want to be one when I grew up and found out how Homophobic they are! Anyway YAY! ANDERSON COOPER!!! I swear, if I were a Gay/ Bi man I would be crushing on him BIG TIME!!! Too bad I'm Les! Oh well, just have to stick to crushing on Ellen & Porsha! ;P jk!

    I watched this the other day... yay for Anderson Cooper! I think Anderson is a Madonna fan, so I think it was a big plus for him to not only be given the Vito Russo award by her, but he stole a kiss from Madonna as well :icon_wink

    I will join you and the others regarding the obsession with Anderson Cooper. He's a good-looking guy for his age.

    I was so excited the day he came out because I really have a lot of respect for him (and a crush as well, go figure). He certainly seems legitimately humble and pays a great respect to those before him and their sacrifices. Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks for sharing. I've watched this twice.

    Anderson Cooper is a true humanitarian and when he came out this past summer, it was really an inspiration to me.
