Almost 85,000 people watched that video,

and then they started emailing us from all over the country,
给我们发电子邮件，要我们去他们的小镇拍摄，
asking us to come to their towns and help them to show their faces.

但是我希望能留出一分钟时间什么都不说，
and have you just look at these faces
只是看着他们的脸，
because there is nothing that I can say that will add to them.
因为我想不出需要补充什么。
Because if a picture is worth a thousand words,
因为一图胜千言，
then a picture of a face needs a whole new vocabulary.
没有一个词汇可以诠释一副面孔。
演讲简介：
欧伊·蒂利特·莱特为2000个自认为有同性恋倾向的人拍摄了肖像并要求他们为自己同性恋（异性恋）的倾向程度按百分制打分。结果她发现，绝大多数人都认为自己不是百分百的同性恋或异性恋，而是介于两者之间。这给歧视同性恋歧视的人出了一个现实难题：到底要歧视谁？你又如何定义？
