Hey you

She has a heart of gold
The way to paradise is cold
I know, I know
That this world is a show
Love you more than words can say
There’s a will, there’s a way
I know, I know
That this world is a show

Moonlight Team Defends Love And Inclusion At Golden Globes (Video)
Janelle Monae reminds us, “anybody who is representing hate is part of the problem.”
Meryl Streep Blasts Donald Trump in the Golden Globes Speech You Need to See: WATCH
At tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep used her Cecille B DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech to call on the American people to defend the freedom of the press and to call out Donald Trump for mocking New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who is disabled, during the campaign.
Streep said it was one performance this year that “stood out” to her for its brutal ruthlessness.
There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.
And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.
This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage.That’s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists. Because we’re going to need them going forward. And they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.

Moonlight took home the award for Best Picture – Drama. The film has racked up critical acclaim and accolades since its release and passed $12 million at the box office. The film follows a young black man named Chiron living in a rough neighborhood of Miami in three acts from childhood to teen years to adulthood. Over this time, Chiron struggles with his own sexual identity, the concept of masculinity, and his feelings for his friend Kevin, all set against a challenging home life and bullying at school.
Finally!!! So happy that @moonlightmov won at the #GoldenGlobes. Such an important movie for #LGBTQ representation

Meryl Streep, recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, used her speech as an opportunity to call upon the press to hold President-Elect Donald Trump and his cabinet accountable for their words and actions. “Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose,” she said. “We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage … We’re going to need them going forward and they’re going to need us to safeguard the truth.” GLAAD recently introduced the Trump Accountability Project as a resource for journalists, editors, and other news makers reporting on the Trump administration, which catalogues the anti-LGBTQ statements and actions of President-elect Trump and those in his circle. The Trump Accountability Project also includes other hateful rhetoric, discriminatory actions, and exclusionary worldviews of the incoming Trump administration.
My jaw is on the floor. Thank you, Meryl Streep, you gave the speech that needed to be given. #GoldenGlobes
