        以下是洋妞的听写:
        放介绍视频前Dr. Marty Lieberman的介绍:
        The HRC Visibility Award recognizes LGBT individuals who are living open and honest lives. Well, Johnny is doing much more than that. He is a force of nature, with all of his fabulousness swirling around him like the eye of a storm.
        As one, Johnny has given courage to all the little boys and girls out there who want to pursue those dreams, regardless of what society says is right.
        It took me forty years to get the courage to get a pair of skates and take skating lessons. No one should have to wait that long to realize their dreams.
        I really want to thank you, Johnny Weir, for making the world a more welcoming place, and for your brave determination to be who you are.
        Please take a moment and join me in watching ... Johnny Weir.

        Dr. Marty Lieberman:
        A winner of world medals, national medals, and now HRC's visibility award, please welcome, and thank, Johnny Weir ~
        ================================================
        下面是威尔的演讲
        Johnny Weir:
        Thank you.
        You know, I'm so happy that I was given a disco stick before I came up here, and then Poker Face played; it's really a dream come true, so...
        *This* is a notecard with my words on it, it's something I'm trying that's very new for me, because I usually kind of free-ball it when I give speeches, but if i didn't have a card you would be getting 20 minutes of me dissecting Lady Gaga's meat dress. So that is why I have the card.
        First of all, a huge thank you to all of you and to Human Rights Campaign for everything you're doing, and for people like me that always wanted to do more and give more and be more, but just haven't -- it's no excuse, but just haven't found the time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and so many people's hearts for everything that you're doing for us, for the world. So we love you and thank you.
        when I first found out about this, my lovely agent Tara -- who is having a vodka spritzer somewhere in the middle of the room -- when she first told me about this award I thought "Well what is this, why me, why is this happening to me, I don't fancy myself as an activist -- or as this speaker that I'm being honored for being, it's not me." I live my life the way that I want it to be lived. I live the way that I think is appropriate, in a way that makes me happy. And that's the most important thing to me, to be happy in life, and I think everyone feels that way.
        And something that has been really clear to me since the Olympic games -- and you know as a figure skater I live in a very small, secular, bubble world -- and living in that world you don't really realize the impact that you have on people, or somebody even like my mother who is watching me go through all these things now, and being invited to speak at events like this, and her being like, "well, that's really amazing Johnny, you have... you've done something great and you've brought attention to subjects that other people refuse to really talk about or think about, such as your sexual orientation, your gender, and what you see your world as". And that's something that I never think about.

          And during the Olympics my gender was called into question, by two commentators from Quebec. And the Olympic games, this Olympic games, my second one in my career as a figure skater, is something that I worked 13 years of my life to achieve, and to be at, and to have that moment when the entire world was watching me, and I was showing them something that I bled, cried, and was a dominatrix, really, for... every day of my life. And that's a moment that will never be taken away from me. And to have it completely torn apart and belittled on such a massive stage as, you know, two old men who are talking about me not having a penis, to the world basically, it was very disheartening. So, my agent, being the superagent that she is, decided to throw a press conference.
          Not an after-competition party, or anything to celebrate what I'd done, but a press conference to explain myself. And, I mean, for the record, I am very very proud to have a penis. I love it; amazing moments we've had together... I love it.
          But going through this press conference, that I was very very hastily thrown into this situation, I spoke from the heart and I said having the freedom and the ability to be myself is something that every child and every person deserves. And it's something that I never take for granted and something that I'm so honored and so lucky to have grown up in a family like I did, that is very supportive of me no matter what I choose. If it's to sleep with a man, marry a woman, dye my hair purple, they support everything. And I'm so lucky for that, and I hope that more children have that opportunity, to never be said "No" to -- unless you want to set firecrackers off out of your ears or something -- but um, never to be said No to, and that's something that I live for, that's something that I live behind, that's something that makes me so proud.
          And the response I got, from not only this community, but from the world, about speaking out, about how -- oh my god, the letters I'm getting, "My kid is so weird, you have no idea. He can't do anything without ballet slippers on." Or, "My daughter she loves, you know, she loves frogs, why is that?". Just random, weird things you wouldn't even think about. And these parents, these mothers, who had seen my words, my press conference, they were writing, and they said "you're giving our kids this face, this very public face, and this person they can look up to." I mean, be a freak, be weird, do things that you find interesting and find fun. And love it, and live it, and don't answer questions to anybody. So, in that way I saw where I am, and my place.
          Now, I vowed that I'd do a really short speech because I know everyone wants to get to the after-party. What I heard when I arrived in Seattle is that, it's all about the after-party, and the after-after-party. Um, it seems very aggressive.
          I'll make my next story short, but I have [We love you, keep speaking!] Okay, I'll work it. So, um... so my next story is basically my journey, and if it empowers you I'm very happy for it, for that effect, and if it does not I'm also happy for that effect. So I hope everyone can get something from this.

            So. I was born and raised in Amish country Pennsylvania. Which... yes, a bit shocking. I looked like this [poses]. And um... that's where I'm from, haha. And I got into this crazy world of figure skating because I had one dream: to be an Olympian, and to represent my country, and to be... fabulous. So, with the love of a wonderful mother and a wonderful father, and a little brother whose life was completely uprooted so that I could perform and fulfill my dream, I was given all of the gifts that I needed to make that a reality. And I got into figure skating very late, because coming from Amish country [pose], we had no ice rinks or any ability to train, and no history of wonderful ice queens in the area.
            So, I got started very late. I was 12 years old, and that's old to start figure skating. I quickly... in 4 years I was the world champion at the junior level, and then the next year I was an alternate for the Olympics -- that was the sole reason that I started to skate -- which was the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. And that's why I wanted to skate. And somehow I made myself an alternate in 5 years. From cornfields to almost going to the Olympics.
            So, in that time, I had to learn a lot of skills. I had to learn how to skate, how to jump, how to spin, all of these things, how to be gorgeous, what costumes to wear, all the politics behind who actually becomes champions in figure skating. And in all those realizations, I never knew what to expect. In learning all these skills, I never knew what to expect, I just knew that I had to work hard if I wanted anything in this life.
            So, 4 years later, I made my next Olympic team. And it was at a time when I was young still, and I was the new, hot, fresh thing, and my country's federation totally supported me, the world's judges totally supported me, and I bombed. And I got 5th in my first Olympics, and it was really depressing and devastating, and I felt like I had sort of played by the rules as much as I could. Of course I was getting in trouble and getting sent to media training because I was talking about drugs and sex and all of these things that figure skaters aren't supposed to talk about.
            And through all of that, I made it through my first Olympic experience completely unscathed. And vowed that for the next Olympics I would be prepared and win something. And prepared I was. I gave two of the most magical performances of my life in Vancouver in February. And for any other person, my performances may have been translated into Olympic medals. But for me, it was not. I was 6th place in my second Olympic games, when I felt like no matter what I could at least have a bronze medal, just give me, give me something. And, you know, growing up and having to learn so quickly what figure skating was, I learned that it is a very staid and old sport. It doesn't like anybody that goes against the grain, it doesn't like anybody that doesn't fit its cookie-cutter image of what an American athlete -- a *proud* American athlete -- should be.
            And, in realizing all this, I said "**** it, I'm going to do exactly what I want. Who cares, what do you want from me?" So, I went out on the ice in Vancouver, and every nation's camera was pointed at my face, and there were all these little men with cameras around the border of the ice rink, my music started to play, and I just said "Go bitch". And in that moment, I knew that I wouldn't have a medal. I already knew that no matter what I did, most likely I wouldn't win a medal for the United States. And I accepted that, and I wanted to take the entire world on this journey. I wanted them to feel every emotion that I had coursing through my body, I wanted them to feel how nervous I was, I wanted everyone to feel my passion and my love for my craft. And, medal or not, I wanted people to feel that.

              When I finished skating, I was literally bent over backwards in the middle of the ice, and I got up and I crossed myself, and I looked around. People with every flag of the world were waving their flag for me. People were standing. People were crying and clapping. And I got, in that way, my medal. So, in every realm, in business, in sports, you have to do it your way. You have to do it yourself. You have to be as empowered as you can be by the power that everyone has inside them. Even if you aren't going to get the same things as everyone else, do it your way, and it will be completely the most fulfilling moment that you can have, when you finally reach what you consider success.
              In my opinion, I am the Olympic champion of Vancouver 2010, because of your support.
              So, in that respect, I want to thank all of you for actually watching the Olympics, and supporting me, and supporting our athletes, and supporting this country. Because it's a beautiful thing to represent, and to be able to represent everything that our country stands for: freedom, uniqueness, joy, love, to be able to represent all of that for everyone who doesn't get the world stage to do that, is an amazing honor, and this award is truly incredible, and all of you please go get your drink on, and grind. Thank you.
