Oooh, I was hoping to get a recording of this.

Thank you!

I downloaded it from YT and watched it on my TV, it's really good.

[nyxelestia]

Is there any way you can send me the file? Or at least let me know how you downloaded the video? Every time I try to download a video from YT, something goes wrong, but I'd like to have it before it goes offline in a week. :(

I've only seen clips thus far, but they've been exceptional. I can't wait to sit and watch the whole thing.

[gealach_ros]

It's been amazing (and because you're using that icon: the story of the person Chris Colfer played made me cry :,( ), I hope you'll enjoy watching it.

I cried watching Chris, and at this point I start tearing up just seeing gifs of him sitting there. God. His performance made the content of the lines so much harder for me. I hate that people go through this kind of pain just for trying to be themselves.

The story he told was heartbreaking and absolutely horrible, it made me look up that NARTH organisation. Reading some statements on their website and the thought that parents would send their kids there to let them get 'fixed' makes me want to throw up.

THANK YOU! I just finished watching and WOW. Chris Colfer made me cry, Martin Sheen made me cheer, Matt Bomer was awesome as always, the entire cast was amazing.

[gealach_ros]

It's great, isn't it? Oh yes, he made me cry, too. :,( Martin Sheen was great and Christine Lahti was stunning, too. Matt Bomer and Matthew Morrison were wonderful. They all were and Jane Lynch made me laugh.

[cowboyangel]

May I ask how you downloaded it off of YT? The site I normally use (zamzar) won't convert a file that size :(

Thanks!

Nifty browser add-on FTW. :)

Matt Bomer is AWESOME.

Matt Bomer is so lovely. <3

I think Matt Bomer is kind of role model for a lot of fans nowadays (especially gay fans). And I truly adore his great effort in attending various charities/donations, AIDS preventions and overall support for the community. I think it is GOOD that those with the money, power or influence encourage people to do kind things to others, who need help or support. To me, social responsibility always comes first if I am to like one person or not. Maybe, that's why I really like Bradley and Colin as they two were also doing a lot of these things in the past. I hope I will see more from them.
