Gracious touching speech given by Caitlyn Jenner

She received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award tonight at ESPYS...and her acceptance speech was simple, sincere, and beautifully heart-touching.

Watch the short video that follows her acceptance speech -- it gives a short biographical sketch of Bruce/Caitlyn's life.  It's a wonderful tribute to a truly brave person who is finally living the truth of who she feels she is, in body and in mind.  It has taken great courage to live the life of Bruce Jenner and now Caitlyn Jenner.  In both parts of this life, he/she has proven to be a true hero and genuine role model.  Because of Caitlyn's heroic actions, imagine all the transgender people who now are finally experiencing freedom to live as who they feel themselves to be. She has unlocked the locks and opened the doors of the secretive prison they previously have been forced to live in.   

I am very grateful there is an award of this kind -- for courage -- and that it has been given to Caitlyn Jenner, who so well deserves it. 

I'm feeling hopeful that the acceptance of gays and transgenders now taking place in our world is representative of an overall more open-minded and compassionate awareness in people everywhere, so that we can all move forward in actually living true Christian/spiritual principles and unconditional love, as taught by Christ over 2,000 years ago.

I love Caitlyn's mother.  I think you will, too, when you watch the short video and hear the loving words she has to say about her child. (~.~)  You might want to have a kleenex at hand. I needed one. (~.~)
