00:00I had a message on my answering machine, um, hi, I'm trying to reach Carlton, this is Madonna, and I was like, what the fuck?
00:30That tour is about freedom, freedom as a human being, freedom in regards to speak the truth.
00:37I still vaguely fit into it.
00:41It was a wild, high-velocity family. Each one of us would have taken a bullet for each one of us.
00:49The sort of daring progressive message was that you can be gay and human.
00:56I want to be like those guys, be that sort of free and open.
01:00I saw two men kiss for the first time.
01:03Like...
01:05Can we try what people think of us?
01:07No!
01:12Bring it back down. What's your secret?
01:17Faking that you're strong, faking that you are confident.
01:22Faking almost all of it.
01:26You hold it back...
01:28With AIDS coming out and HIV, everyone got really scared.
01:33It was terrifying. It was terrifying enough to scare people into silence.
01:43There was a whole other backstage, you know, that you didn't get to see, that none of us were ready to talk about.
01:49And it's hard because this is the first time, so...
01:53And real slow. Slow. Slow. Slow.
02:09Be proud. You know, be proud. Whatever it is.
02:12Because everyone is someone.
02:14Because everyone is someone.
02:15Because everyone is someone.
02:19You know, that you are you.
02:21And you do not have to say, that you what can do.
02:22And you're always trying to be the only way.
02:24But when you look at the final, you see.
02:26You're still looking for the last night.
02:27You may be the only guy.
02:28And when you look at the final, you see.
02:29And you are.
02:30Yes!
02:31You're living maybe.
02:32It's kind of an epicやって.
02:33You're never gonna lose.
02:34You're not.
02:36You're not.
02:37You're not.
02:38You're not.
02:39You're not.
