Tens of thousands of concertgoers hold up thousands of rainbow flags that read: NO FEAR

Crowd: Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! Madonna!

Thank you! So that's right: No fear. No fear. No fear. Its all the same thing. We want to fight for the right to be FREE! To be who we are. Yes? Yes!

If you're hearing me, bring it in the world. And I'm touring around the world. And I feel here the air. I feel that people are becoming more and more afraid of people who are different. People are becoming more and more intolerant. Okay? Crowd: Yeah!

But at this very moment in time we can make a difference. We can change it. We have power. Crowd: Yeah! Yes!

And we don't have to do it with violence. We do have to do it with love. Crowd: Yeah!

I like your T-Shirt. Let me read it out loud: At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

And who said that? Martin Luther King said that. Martin Luther King Jr. Thank you. And he fought for the right of African and African-American people. He fought for their right to be equal, to be treated equal, to be treated with tolerance and love and human dignity. Right? Crowd: Yeah!
He fought and he died for his people. Crowd: Yeah! Okay?

Now! I am here to say that the gay community and gay people here and all around the world have the same rights. The same rights to be free with dignity, with respect, with tolerance, with compassion, with LOVE! Yes! Crowd: Yeah!

Are you with me? If you're with me? Our peace! Your peace on hand. If you're with me, raise your arm and show your love and appreciation for the gay community. Crowd: Yeah!
Are you with me? Crowd: Yeah!
Are you with me? Crowd: Yeah!
I shall love you when you're with me! Crowd: Yeah! Thank you.

And this is for people who are quoting Bibles and making God to their defense mechanism:
Jesus preached this!
Muhammad preached this!
Buddha preached this!
Moses preached this!
Its in every Holy Book:
Love thy neighbor AND thyself.
Okay? Crowd: Yeah! So!

You can not hear the music to treat other people badly.
You can not use that Name to treat other people badly.
We all deserve love!

So! Take it around of the world and spread this message of love. And live your lifes without fear. Amen.

Live your lifes with love!
