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.
00:49This 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.
01:02Like...
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...
01:58And real slow. Slow. Slow.
02:01Slow.
02:02Slow. And what'S it whoa.
02:04Slow.
02:05Slow and shine.
02:06Slow.
02:10Slow.
02:11Be proud.
02:12You know, be proud, whatever it is.
02:13Because everyone is someone.
