When I was about 16 years old
0
744
2998
Kada sam imao 16 godina
00:19
I can remember flipping through channels at home during summer vacation,
1
3742
3699
sjećam se kako sam prebacivao TV kanale u vrijeme ljetnih praznika
00:23
looking for a movie to watch on HBO --
2
7441
2530
tražeći neki dobar film na HBO.
00:25
and how many of you remember "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?
3
9971
2513
Koliko vas se sjeća filma "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?
00:28
Oh yeah, great movie, right? -- Well, I saw Matthew Broderick on the screen, and so I thought,
4
12484
5001
Odličan film, zar ne? I, vidim Matthew Brodericka na ekranu, i pomislim
00:33
"Sweet! Ferris Bueller. I'll watch this!"
5
17485
2712
"Zgodno! Ferris Bueller. "Ovo izgleda dobro!"
00:36
It wasn't Ferris Bueller. And forgive me Matthew Broderick,
6
20197
3572
I, oprosti mi Matthew Broderick,
00:39
I know you've done other movies besides Ferris Bueller, but that's how I remember you; you're Ferris.
7
23769
4117
Znam da si snimio gomilu filmova, ali tako te ja pamtim; ti si za mene Ferris.
00:43
But you weren't doing Ferris-y things at the time; you were doing gay things at the time.
8
27886
5753
Ali nisi se ponašao kao Ferris u to vrijeme; u to vrijeme si se više ponašao kao gay.
00:49
He was in a movie called "Torch Song Trilogy."
9
33639
3328
Matthew je glumio i u "Torch Song Trilogy."
00:52
And "Torch Song Trilogy" was based on a play about this drag queen who essentially was looking for love.
10
36967
6746
Taj je film baziran na priči o transvestitu koji zapravo samo traži ljubav.
00:59
Love and respect -- that's what the whole film was about.
11
43713
3064
Ljubav i poštovanje - to je glavna misao filma.
01:02
And as I'm watching it, I'm realizing that they're talking about me.
12
46777
5156
I dok gledam film, počinjem shvaćati da govore o meni.
01:07
Not the drag queen part -- I am not shaving my hair for anyone -- but the gay part.
13
51933
5593
Ne dio o transvestitu - ne namjeravam brijati bradu ni za koga - nego dio o homoseksualnosti.
01:13
The finding love and respect, the part about trying to find your place in the world.
14
57526
5213
O potrazi za ljubavlju i poštovanjem, o potrazi za svojim mjestom pod zvjezdama.
01:18
So as I'm watching this, I see this powerful scene that brought me to tears,
15
62739
6350
I tako, gledam film, i vidim tu snažnu, dojmljivu scenu, koja mi je izmamila suze
01:24
and it stuck with me for the past 25 years.
16
69089
3200
i ostala dio mene slijedećih 25 godina.
01:28
And there's this quote that the main character, Arnold, tells his mother
17
72289
5109
Sjećam se citata, kada se glavni lik, Arnold, obraća svojoj majci
01:33
as they're fighting about who he is and the life that he lives.
18
77398
5159
dok se prepiru o tome tko on zapravo je, i kakav život živi.
01:38
"There's one thing more -- there's just one more thing you better understand.
19
82557
5219
"Želim samo da shvatiš jednu, jedinu stvar.
01:43
I've taught myself to sew, cook, fix plumbing, build furniture,
20
87776
6036
Učio sam se šivati, kuhati, popravljati cijevi, izrađivati namještaj
01:49
I can even pat myself on the back when necessary,
21
93812
2857
čak mogu sam sebe i potapšati po ramenu, kada mi to treba
01:52
all so I don't have to ask anyone for anything.
22
96669
4499
samo kako ne bih morao tražiti pomoć od drugih.
01:57
There's nothing I need from anyone except for love and respect,
23
101168
5679
Ništa mi drugo, od nikoga ne treba, osim ljubavi i poštovanja,
02:02
and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life."
24
106847
4449
i nitko tko mi ne može pružiti te dvije stvari, nema mjesto u mom životu."
02:07
I remember that scene like it was yesterday; I was 16, I was in tears, I was in the closet,
25
111296
7767
Sjećam se te scene kao da je bilo jučer; šesnaestogodišnjak, u suzama, skrivajući svoju seksualnost,
02:14
and I'm looking at these two people, Ferris Bueller and some guy I'd never seen before,
26
119063
5361
i gledam to dvoje ljudi, Ferrisa Buellera i još nekog nepoznatog tipa,
02:20
fighting for love.
27
124424
4298
kako se bore za ljubav.
02:24
When I finally got to a place in my life
28
128722
4129
Kada sam konačno došao do dijela svog života
02:28
where I came out and accepted who I was, and was really quite happy, to tell you the truth,
29
132851
3623
kada sam mogao prihvatiti tko sam, prihvatiti vlastitu seksualnost, što me stvarno veselilo,
02:32
I was happily gay and I guess that's supposed to be right because gay means happy too.
30
136474
4146
bio sam sretan gay. Pa i jedno od značenja riječi "gay" je radostan, veseo.
02:36
I realized there were a lot of people who weren't as gay as I was --
31
140620
4329
Shvatio sam da postoji mnogo ljudi koji nisu gay kao ja ---
02:40
gay being happy, not gay being attracted to the same sex.
32
144949
3218
s time da ovdje mislim na "gay" kao "sretni", a ne "gay" kao "homoseksualci".
02:44
In fact, I heard that there was a lot of hate and a lot of anger
33
148167
5044
Zapravo sam uočio da postoji mnogo mržnje i mnogo gnjeva
02:49
and a lot of frustration and a lot of fear
34
153211
2610
i mnogo frustracija i mnogo straha
02:51
about who I was and the gay lifestyle.
35
155821
4869
oko toga tko sam ja zapravo i oko gay stila života.
02:56
Now, I'm sitting here trying to figure out "the gay lifestyle," "the gay lifestyle,"
36
160690
4321
Razmišljao sam i pokušavao shvatiti taj "gay stil života", "gay stil života",
03:00
and I keep hearing this word over and over and over again: lifestyle, lifestyle, lifestyle.
37
165011
4412
i stalno sam slušao te iste riječi: stil života, stil života...
03:05
I've even heard politicians say that the gay lifestyle is a greater threat
38
169423
4630
Čak sam čuo i izjavu političara, da je gay stil života, veća prijetnja
03:09
to civilization than terrorism.
39
174053
2908
civilizaciji od terorizma.
03:12
That's when I got scared.
40
176961
2975
E, to me tek uplašilo.
03:15
Because I'm thinking, if I'm gay and I'm doing something that's going to destroy civilization,
41
179936
7122
Pomislio sam, ako sam ja gay, i činim nešto što će uništiti civilizaciju,
03:22
I need to figure out what this stuff is, and I need to stop doing it right now.
42
187058
4626
moram shvatiti o čemu se tu radi, i prestati sa time istoga trena.
03:27
(Laughter)
43
191684
2378
(Smijeh)
03:29
So, I took a look at my life, a hard look at my life,
44
194062
4923
Pa sam pogledao svoj život, dobro sam ga pogledao,
03:34
and I saw some things very disturbing.
45
198985
4220
i vidio neke uistinu uznemirujuće stvari.
03:39
(Laughter)
46
203205
3836
(Smijeh)
03:42
And I want to begin sharing these evil things that I've been doing with you,
47
207041
3754
I želio bih sa vama podijeliti te zle stvari koje svakodnevno činim,
03:46
starting with my mornings.
48
210795
2297
počevši od mojih jutarnjih navika.
03:48
I drink coffee.
49
213092
3046
Pijem kavu.
03:52
Not only do I drink coffee, I know other gay people who drink coffee.
50
216138
5893
Ne samo da ja pijem kavu, već znam i druge gay ljude koji piju kavu.
03:57
I get stuck in traffic --
51
222031
3642
Često zaglavim u prometnoj gužvi --
04:01
evil, evil traffic.
52
225673
3478
zloj, zloj prometnoj gužvi.
04:05
Sometimes I get stuck in lines at airports.
53
229151
3172
Ponekad zaglavim i u redovima na aerodromima.
04:08
I look around, and I go, "My God, look at all these gay people!
54
232323
3266
Pogledam oko sebe i pomislim, "Bože, pogledaj ti sve te gay ljude!
04:11
We're all trapped in these lines! These long lines trying to get on an airplane!
55
235589
4442
I svi smo zarobljeni u tim redovima! Tim dugim redovima, pokušavajući ući u avion!
04:15
My God, this lifestyle that I'm living is so freaking evil!"
56
240031
6226
Moj Bože, taj životni stil koji ja živim, je tako nevjerojatno zao!"
04:22
I clean up. This is not an actual photograph of my son's room; his is messier.
57
246257
7387
Ja čistim. Ovo nije stvarna fotografija sobe moga sina; njegova je neurednija.
04:29
And because I have a 15-year-old, all I do is cook and cook and cook.
58
253644
5361
I obzirom da imam 15-godišnjeg sina, stalno samo kuham i kuham i kuham.
04:34
Any parents out there of teenagers? All we do is cook for these people --
59
259021
4941
Ima li ovdje još roditelja tinejdžera? Po cijele dane samo kuhamo za njih --
04:39
they eat two, three, four dinners a night -- it's ridiculous!
60
263962
4804
oni pojedu dvije, tri, četiri večere u danu -- nevjerojatno!
04:44
This is the gay lifestyle.
61
268766
2572
To je taj gay stil života.
04:47
And after I'm done cooking and cleaning and standing in line and getting stuck in traffic,
62
271414
6787
I nakon što završim sa kuhanjem, pranjem, stajanjem u redu i čekanjem u prometu,
04:54
my partner and I, we get together
63
278201
3603
moj partner i ja, zajedno
04:57
and we decide that we're gonna go and have some wild and crazy fun.
64
281804
6155
odlučimo da nam treba malo divlje i lude zabave.
05:03
(Laughter)
65
287959
3824
(Smijeh)
05:07
We're usually in bed before we find out who's eliminated on "American Idol."
66
291783
3352
Najčešće zaspimo u krevetu i prije nego što objave tko ispada iz "Supertalenta".
05:11
We have to wake up and find out the next day who's still on
67
295135
4218
Tek kad se probudimo idući dan, saznamo tko je još ostao u natjecanju
05:15
because we're too freaking tired to hear who stays on.
68
299353
5086
jer smo preumorni da bi dočekali kraj emisije.
05:20
This is the super duper evil gay lifestyle.
69
304439
4370
To je taj totalno otkačeni, zli, gay stil života.
05:24
Run for your heterosexual lives, people.
70
308809
3865
Spašavajte svoje heteroseksualne živote ljudi.
05:28
(Applause)
71
312674
8379
(Aplauz)
05:36
When my partner, Steve, and I first started dating,
72
321068
4654
Kada smo moj partner Steve i ja, započeli vezu,
05:41
he told me this story about penguins.
73
325722
3594
ispričao mi je priču o pingvinima.
05:45
And I didn't know where he was going with it at first.
74
329316
3451
I na početku mi nije bilo jasno koja je poanta priče.
05:48
He was kind of a little bit nervous when he was sharing it with me, but he told me that
75
332767
3936
Bio je pomalo nervozan dok ju je pričao, i rekao
05:52
when a penguin finds a mate that they want to spend the rest of their life with,
76
336703
4353
da kada pingvin pronađe partnera sa kojim želi provesti život,
05:56
they present them with a pebble -- the perfect pebble.
77
341056
3601
donese mu oblutak -- savršen kameni oblutak.
06:00
And then he reaches into his pocket, and he brings this out to me.
78
344657
6616
I tada je zavukao ruku u džep, i poklonio mi ovo.
06:07
And I looked at it, and I was like, this is really cool.
79
351273
3977
Pogledao sam, i pomislio, kako je ovo predivno.
06:11
And he says, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
80
355250
4426
A on je rekao: "Želim provesti ostatak života sa tobom."
06:15
So I wear this whenever I have to do something that makes me a little nervous,
81
359676
5539
Nosim ga svaki puta kada moram učiniti nešto što me čini nervoznim,
06:21
like, I don't know, a TEDx talk.
82
365215
3589
kao na primjer održati TEDx govor.
06:24
I wear this when I am apart from him for a long period of time.
83
368804
3986
Nosim ga i kada smo razdvojeni duže vrijeme.
06:28
And sometimes I just wear it just because.
84
372790
3620
A ponekad ga nosim samo tako.
06:32
How many people out there are in love? Anyone in love out there?
85
376410
4918
Koliko je ovdje ljudi zaljubljeno? Je li itko od vas zaljubljen?
06:37
You might be gay.
86
381328
3176
Vi ste možda gay.
06:40
(Laughter)
87
384504
1426
(Smijeh)
06:41
Because I, too, am in love, and apparently that's part of the gay lifestyle that I warned you about.
88
385930
6549
Jer, i ja sam zaljubljen. A to je očito dio gay životnog stila na koji vas upozoravam.
06:48
(Applause)
89
392479
6265
(Aplauz)
06:54
You may want to tell your spouse. Who, if they're in love, might be gay as well.
90
398744
5572
Trebali bi o tome popričati sa svojim partnerom/icom. Jer, ako je i on/ona zaljubljeni, možda su također gay.
07:00
How many of you are single? Any single people out there?
91
404316
3902
Koliko ovdje ima samaca? Ima li samaca u dvorani?
07:04
You too might be gay! Because I know some gay people who are also single.
92
408218
5166
I vi ste možda gay! Jer, znam i neke homoseksualce koji su samci.
07:09
It's really scary, this gay lifestyle thing; it's super duper evil and there's no end to it!
93
413384
6745
Stvarno je prestrašan ovaj gay životni stil; potpuno je zao, i ne vidim mu kraja.
07:16
It goes and goes and engulfs!
94
420129
3344
Samo grabi i grabi i obuzima sve pred sobom.
07:19
It's really quite silly, isn't it?
95
423473
2856
Ovo je uistinu smiješno, zar ne?
07:22
That's why I'm so happy to finally hear President Obama come out and say
96
426329
5389
Zato sam sretan kada konačno čujem predsjednika Obamu, kako otvoreno kaže
07:27
(Applause)
97
431718
1995
(Aplauz)
07:29
that he supports --
98
433713
2062
da osobno podržava --
07:31
(Applause)
99
435775
3423
(Aplauz)
07:35
that he supports marriage equality.
100
439198
3362
jednakost bračnih zajednica.
07:38
It's a wonderful day in our country's history; it's a wonderful day in the globe's history
101
442560
4570
To je prekrasan trenutak u povijesti SADa; prekrasan trenutak u svjetskoj povijesti.
07:43
to be able to have an actual sitting president say, enough of this --
102
447130
5046
da doživimo da aktualni predsjednik kaže, dosta je bilo --
07:48
first to himself, and then to the rest of the world.
103
452176
3714
prvo sebi, a zatim i cijelom svijetu.
07:51
It's wonderful.
104
455890
2088
Prekrasno.
07:53
But there's something that's been disturbing me since he
105
457978
3391
Ali ipak me nešto uznemirava od kada je on
07:57
made that remark just a short time ago.
106
461369
3737
to nedavno izjavio.
08:01
And that is, apparently, this is just another move by the gay activists
107
465106
6560
A to je..., da je to očito, samo još jedan potez gay aktivista
08:07
that's on the gay agenda.
108
471666
3481
koji se nalazi na gay programu.
08:11
And I'm disturbed by this because I've been openly gay now for quite some time.
109
475147
5713
A to me uznemirava, jer, već neko vrijeme, otvoreno iskazujem svoju seksualnu orijentaciju.
08:16
I've been to all of the functions, I've been to fundraisers,
110
480860
3690
Bavio sam se raznim aktivnostima i funkcijama u gay zajednici,
08:20
I've written about the topic, and I have yet to receive my copy of this gay agenda.
111
484550
4485
I pisao sam o toj temi, ali još nisam dobio svoju kopiju tog gay programa.
08:24
(Laughter)
112
489035
1690
(Smijeh)
08:26
I've paid my dues on time,
113
490725
2782
Plaćam svoje dugove na vrijeme,
08:29
(Laughter)
114
493507
2549
(Smijeh)
08:31
I've marched in gay pride flags parades and the whole nine,
115
496056
4295
Sudjelovao sam u gay paradama, bio aktivan sudionik,
08:36
and I've yet to see a copy of the gay agenda.
116
500351
3341
a još čekam svoj primjerak tog gay programa.
08:39
It's very, very frustrating, and I was feeling left out, like I wasn't quite gay enough.
117
503692
4965
To je stvarno frustrirajuće, i osjećao sam se zapostavljeno, kao da nisam dovoljno gay.
08:44
But then something wonderful happened: I was out shopping, as I tend to do,
118
508657
5203
Ali tada se dogodilo nešto predivno: bio sam u kupovini,
08:49
and I came across a bootleg copy of the official gay agenda.
119
513860
8423
i naišao na kopiju službenog gay programa.
08:58
And I said to myself, "LZ, for so long, you have been denied this.
120
522283
5404
I rekao sam sebi: "LZ, ovo ti je tako dugo uskraćivano.
09:03
When you get in front of this crowd, you're gonna share the news.
121
527687
5016
Sada konačno možeš podijeliti vijest sa drugima.
09:08
You're gonna spread the gay agenda so no one else has to wonder,
122
532703
3871
Razdijeliti ćeš gay program, kako se nitko ne bi morao pitati
09:12
what exactly is in the gay agenda?
123
536574
3521
što zapravo sadrži taj gay program?
09:15
What are these gays up to?
124
540095
3480
Što zapravo ti homoseksualci smjeraju?
09:19
What do they want?"
125
543575
2834
Što žele?
09:22
So, without further ado, I will present to you, ladies and gentlemen --
126
546409
5387
Pa, bez daljnjeg okolišanja, predstavljam vam, dame i gospodo --
09:27
now be careful, 'cause it's evil -- a copy,
127
551796
4234
ali, pazite, budite oprezni, jer to je zlo -- kopija,
09:31
the official copy, of the gay agenda.
128
556030
5433
službena kopija, gay programa.
09:37
(Music)
129
561463
24804
(Muzika)
10:02
The gay agenda, people!
130
586267
2971
Gay program, ljudi!
10:05
(Applause)
131
589238
3937
(Aplauz)
10:09
There it is!
132
593175
2052
Evo ga!
10:11
Did you soak it all in? The gay agenda.
133
595227
3839
Jeste sve upili? Gay program.
10:14
Some of you may be calling it, what,
134
599066
3251
Neki od vas ga zovu, kako ono,
10:18
the Constitution of the United States, is that what you call it too?
135
602317
3144
Ustav SADa, da li ga i vi tako zovete?
10:21
The U.S. Constitution is the gay agenda.
136
605461
5200
Ustav SADa je gay program.
10:26
These gays, people like me, want to be treated like full citizens
137
610661
4905
Ta gay ekipa, ljudi poput mene, žele da ih se tretira kao punopravne građane
10:31
and it's all written down in plain sight.
138
615566
3905
i sve je tu napisano, crno na bijelo.
10:35
I was blown away when I saw it. I was like, wait, this is the gay agenda?
139
619471
5706
Bio sam potpuno šokiran kada sam to vidio. Pomislio sam, ovo je gay program?
10:41
Why didn't you just call it the Constitution so I knew what you were talking about?
140
625177
4209
Zašto ga jednostavno ne zovete Ustav, pa da sam odmah znao o čemu govorite.
10:45
I wouldn't have been so confused; I wouldn't have been so upset.
141
629386
3688
Ne bih bio toliko zbunjen, niti uznemiren.
10:48
But there it is. The gay agenda.
142
633074
4708
Ali evo, ovdje je. Gay program.
10:53
Run for your heterosexual lives.
143
637782
5804
Spašavajte svoje heteroseksualne živote.
10:59
Did you know that in all the states where there is no shading that
144
643586
6732
Da li ste znali da u svim zemljama koje nisu osjenčane
11:06
people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered
145
650318
3141
ljudi koji su gay, lezbijke, biseksualne ili transrodne osobe
11:09
can be kicked out of their apartments
146
653459
2092
mogu biti izbačeni iz iznajmljenih stanova
11:11
for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered?
147
655551
4136
samo zbog svoje seksualne orijentacije?
11:15
That's the only reason that a landlord needs to have them removed,
148
659687
5168
To je jedini razlog koji najmodavac treba kako bi ih izbacio,
11:20
because there's no protection from discrimination of GLBT people.
149
664855
5842
jer ne postoji zaštita protiv diskriminacije LGBT osoba.
11:26
Did you know in the states where there's no shading that
150
670697
5149
Da li znate da u svim zemljama koje nisu osjenčane,
11:31
you can be fired for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered?
151
675846
6186
možete dobiti otkaz samo zato što ste gay, lezbijka, biseksualna ili transrodna osoba?
11:37
Not based upon the quality of your work,
152
682032
4011
Ne na temelju kvalitete vašeg rada,
11:41
how long you've been there, if you stink,
153
686043
4002
koliko ste dugo zaposleni, ili da li jednostavno smrdite,
11:45
just if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered.
154
690045
6673
samo zbog vaše seksualne orijentacije.
11:52
All of which flies in the face of the gay agenda,
155
696718
5330
A sve je to u suprotnosti sa gay programom,
11:57
also known as the U.S. Constitution.
156
702048
3715
poznatim i kao Ustav SADa.
12:01
Specifically, this little amendment right here:
157
705763
3672
Posebno, ovaj ovdje mali amandman:
12:05
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities
158
709435
5251
"Niti jedna država neće donositi ili nametati zakon koji će uskratiti privilegije ili povlastice
12:10
of citizens of the United States."
159
714686
4238
građanima SADa."
12:14
I'm looking at you, North Carolina.
160
718924
3041
Gledam vas, u Sjevernoj Karolini.
12:17
But you're not looking at the U.S. Constitution.
161
721965
4597
Ali vi očito ne gledate u Ustav SADa.
12:22
This is the gay agenda: equality. Not special rights,
162
726562
5311
O tome se radi u gay programu: jednakost. Ne posebna prava,
12:27
but the rights that were already written by these people --
163
731873
4176
nego prava koja su već napisana od strane
12:31
these elitists, if you will.
164
736049
2419
te elite, ako tako želite.
12:34
Educated, well-dressed,
165
738468
4031
Obrazovanih, lijepo odjevenih,
12:38
(Laughter)
166
742499
2688
(Smijeh)
12:41
some would dare say questionably dressed.
167
745187
2741
neki bi se usudili reći i upitno odjevenih.
12:43
(Laughter)
168
747928
2779
(Smijeh)
12:46
Nonetheless, our forefathers, right?
169
750707
3782
Unatoč svemu, našim precima, zar ne?
12:50
The people that, we say, knew what they were doing when they wrote the Constitution --
170
754489
4236
Ljudi koji su znali što rade kada su napisali Ustav --
12:54
the gay agenda, if you will.
171
758725
3173
gay program, ako vam tako više odgovara.
12:57
All of that flies in the face of what they did.
172
761898
5323
Ono što su napisali je suprotno od onoga što su učinili.
13:03
That is the reason why I felt it was imperative that
173
767221
5511
Zato sam smatrao da je nužno
13:08
I presented you with this copy of the gay agenda.
174
772732
5342
da vam predstavim tu kopiju gay programa.
13:13
Because I figured if I made it funny, you wouldn't be as threatened.
175
778074
4978
Jer sam pomislio da ukoliko ga prikažem duhovitim, nećete ga smatrati prijetnjom.
13:18
I figured if I was a bit irreverent, you wouldn't find it serious.
176
783052
4559
Pomislio sam, ukoliko budem i blago neuljudan, nećete ga smatrati važnim.
13:23
But when you see the map, and you see our state of Michigan --
177
787611
5427
Ali kada pogledate kartu, i našu državu Michigan --
13:28
it's legal to fire someone
178
793038
5647
gdje je legalno otpustiti nekoga
13:34
for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered,
179
798685
3894
zato što je gay, lezbijka, biseksualna ili transrodna osoba,
13:38
that it's legal to remove someone from their home
180
802579
4264
da je legalno nekome uskratiti najam stana
13:42
because they're gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered,
181
806843
4610
zato što je gay, lezbijka, biseksualna ili transrodna osoba,
13:47
then you realize that this whole conversation about marriage equality
182
811453
3988
tada shvatite da cijela ova diskusija oko jednakosti bračnih zajednica
13:51
is not about stripping someone's rights away,
183
815441
3468
ne govori o ukidanju nečijih prava,
13:54
it's about granting them the rights that [have] already been stated.
184
818909
4580
već o provedbi nečijih prava koja su već donešena.
13:59
And we're just trying to walk in those rights that have already been stated,
185
823489
4461
Mi samo pokušavamo koristiti prava koja su već izrečena,
14:03
that we've already agreed upon.
186
827950
3506
o kojima su se naši preci već usuglasili.
14:07
There are people living in fear
187
831456
5307
Postoje ljudi koji žive u strahu
14:12
of losing their jobs
188
836763
3617
od gubitka svojih poslova
14:16
so they don't show anyone who they really are
189
840380
5090
pa skrivaju od drugih svoje pravo lice
14:21
right here at home. This isn't just about North Carolina;
190
845470
4805
i to upravo ovdje. Ovo se ne odnosi samo na Sjevernu Karolinu;
14:26
all those states that were clear, it's legal.
191
850275
5689
sve one zemlje koje nisu osjenčane, tamo je to legalno.
14:31
If I could brag for a second,
192
855964
3224
Dozvolite mi da se na kratko pohvalim,
14:35
I have a 15-year-old son from my marriage.
193
859188
6104
Imam 15-ogodišnjeg sina iz mojeg braka.
14:41
He has a 4.0.
194
865292
2751
Ima 4.0
14:43
He is starting a new club at school, Policy Debate.
195
868043
6439
I pokrenuo je novi klub u školi, za političke debate.
14:50
He's a budding track star;
196
874482
4227
On je zvijezda u usponu;
14:54
he has almost every single record in middle school for every event that he competed in.
197
878709
6461
osvojio je zapažena mjesta u svim natjecanjima u kojima je sudjelovao u srednjoj školi.
15:01
He volunteers.
198
885170
2503
Volontira.
15:03
He prays before he eats.
199
887673
3235
Moli se prije jela.
15:06
I would like to think, as his father -- and he lives with me primarily --
200
890908
6195
Volio bih vjerovati, da sam kao otac -- a najviše vremena provodi samnom --
15:13
that I had a little something to do with all of that.
201
897103
3917
zaslužan za dio tih njegovih uspjeha.
15:16
I would like to think that he's a good boy,
202
901020
2908
Volio bih vjerovati da je dobar mladić,
15:19
a respectful young man. I would like to think that
203
903928
4367
pristojan mladi čovjek. Volio bih vjerovati da
15:24
I've proven to be a capable father.
204
908295
3697
sam se dokazao kao sposoban otac.
15:27
But if I were to go to the state of Michigan today,
205
911992
3753
Ali da danas odem u Michigan,
15:31
and try to adopt a young person who is in an orphanage,
206
915745
4932
i pokušam usvojiti dijete iz sirotišta,
15:36
I would be disqualified for only one reason:
207
920677
3599
bio bih odbijen zbog samo jednog razloga
15:40
because I'm gay.
208
924276
3357
zato što sam gay.
15:43
It doesn't matter what I've already proven, what I can do with my heart.
209
927633
4803
Nije važno što sam dokazao, koliko mogu postići roditeljskom ljubavlju.
15:48
It's because of what the state of Michigan says that I am
210
932436
3608
Samo zbog toga kako me država Michigan vidi,
15:51
that I am disqualified for any sort of adoption.
211
936044
5832
ja sam diskvalificiran kao potencijalni posvojitelj.
15:57
And that's not just about me,
212
941876
4035
A ovdje se ne radi samo o meni,
16:01
that's about so many other Michiganders, U.S. citizens,
213
945911
4903
već o toliko građana Michigena, građana SADa,
16:06
who don't understand why what they are
214
950814
5159
koji ne razumiju zašto je to što su,
16:11
is so much more significant than who they are.
215
955973
5280
toliko važnije od onoga kakvi su.
16:17
This story just keeps playing over and over
216
961253
5377
I to je priča koja se stalno ponavlja
16:22
and over again in our country's history.
217
966630
3491
i ponavlja u našoj povijesti.
16:26
There was a time in which, I don't know,
218
970121
3857
Postojala su vremena, kada
16:29
people who were black couldn't have the same rights.
219
973978
4029
ljudi crne boje kože nisu imali ista prava.
16:33
People who happened to be women didn't have the same rights, couldn't vote.
220
978007
5315
Žene nisu imale ista prava, nisu mogle glasati.
16:39
There was a point in our history in which, if you were considered disabled,
221
983322
4790
Postojala su vremena u našoj povijesti, kada su invalidi
16:44
that an employer could just fire you, before the Americans with Disabilities Act.
222
988112
4737
mogli biti otpušteni sa posla bez posebnog razloga. Prije Akta o građanima sa hendikepom.
16:48
We keep doing this over and over again.
223
992849
3354
Stalno ponavljamo iste greške.
16:52
And so here we are, 2012,
224
996203
4584
I evo nas ponovno u 2012.,
16:56
gay agenda,
225
1000787
2329
gay program,
16:59
gay lifestyle, and I'm not a good dad
226
1003116
3868
gay životni stil, i mišljenje da ja nisam dobar otac
17:02
and people don't deserve to be able to protect their families
227
1006984
3510
i ljudi ne zaslužuju graditi i čuvati svoje obitelji
17:06
because of what they are, not who they are.
228
1010494
4671
zbog toga što su, a ne kakvi su.
17:11
So when you hear the words "gay lifestyle" and "gay agenda" in the future,
229
1015165
6644
Pa kada ponovno čujete "gay životni stil" i "gay program"
17:17
I encourage you to do two things:
230
1021809
3405
Predlažem vam da učinite dvije stvari:
17:21
One, remember the U.S. Constitution, and then two,
231
1025214
6285
Prvo, sjetite se Ustava SADa, i drugo
17:27
if you wouldn't mind looking to your left, please.
232
1031499
5123
pogledajte molim vas u lijevo.
17:32
Look to your right.
233
1036622
3156
Pogledajte u desno.
17:35
That person next to you is a brother, is a sister.
234
1039778
5467
Osoba pored vas je brat, sestra.
17:41
And they should be treated with love and respect.
235
1045245
2615
I trebali bi biti tretirani sa ljubavlju i poštovanjem.
17:43
Thank you.
236
1047860
1723
Hvala vam.
