　　I also do it selfishly, because I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission¹.

　　我的精神，我的心里健康和我的关系都因此受到了很大的伤害。

　　And I’m standing² here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain.

　　我今天，和你们一起站在这里，远离那些痛苦。

　　And I am young, yes, but what I have learned is that love, the beauty of it, the joy of it and yes, even the pain of it, is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being.

　　我很年轻，是的，但是我已经明白其中的爱、美丽、喜悦和伤痛是给人类最不可思议的礼物。

　　And we deserve to experience love fully³, equally, without shame and without compromise.

　　我们都有权享受完全的平等的爱，没有羞愧也没有退让。

　　There are too many kids out there suffering from bullying⁴, rejection⁵, or simply being mistreated because of who they are.

　　有太多的孩子仅仅就因为他们的身份而承受着欺凌，排斥，或者是虐待。

　　Too many dropouts. Too much abuse. Too many homeless. Too many suicides.

　　You can change that and you are changing it.

　　But you never needed me to tell you that.

　　但是你们并不需要我来告诉你们这些。

　　And that’s why this was a little bit weird⁶.

　　这就是为什么我感到有点奇怪。

　　The only thing that I can really say is what I’ve been building up to for the past five minutes.

　　我唯一可以说的是我确实为刚才的五分钟做了准备。

　　Thank you. Thank for inspiring me. Thank you for giving me hope, and please keep changing the world for people like me.
