Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley on  

It's so obvious how much they love each other. What sucks is that these two gentle, successful, talented men who speak so beautifully were targeted by bullies for that. Unbelievable. .

They are an extraordinary pair of gentlemen.

when he said "sorry Tom" that's so cute😊

I love this Couple they are so honest and strong.

American football is not real football. Thanks Tom. 😂😂😂😂😂

The saying goes, "Living well is the best revenge." Lance and Tom have proved that to be true. Both successful in their careers, with a wonderful marriage and son, and both of them known all over the world. Sort of leaves the bullies in the dust.

Can I hug them now? Heres a hug from germany ^-^

You can tell lance was about to cry and that breaks my heart

As sad as it is Bullying made Lance into the man we love and respect today😙 Where are the bullies now? 😛

they're both very well spoken.

I don't get how could someone Bullied these two Gorgeous Human being. They looked Adorable in their Teenager aswell...omg this world is hard to live day by day ..sniff*

Was bullied from year 8, I was very shy, and overweight, hated school, did not do very well in my exams, just wanted to leave. Then went to work, and was bullied there. Good on Tom and Lance talking about their experiences, hope it helps kids today. There is no excuse for bullying.

wow they are just so inspirational and strong! love them

Even before he said it I could see Lance was stressed, talking about playing football and fitting in. He was sweating and looked uncomfortable. It was good of them both to open up and talk about difficult memories.

I love the way they look at each other, with such loving looks, and when they follow at each other, their faces light up. Little smiles and there's a twinkle in Tom's eyes when he looks at Lance

amazing, respect for the honesty, that Tom would be bullied for his olympic success shows that bullying is stupid, the homophobic bullying is dangerous and all types of bullying needs to end

Lance as I sat here watching this video, I can feel your emotions and it brought back my emotions to the point that I'm crying. I never had your or Tom's courage to "Come Out" and be true to myself. Not only was I bullied and belittled at school, but I went through a lot of abuse and trauma growing up at home. I followed the expectations that were placed upon me by my parents. At 58 I struggle with so much regret and sadness for being so afraid and scared to follow my true feelings. Now being married with a son that has a learning disability, and my responsibilities to the family it's too late. But I often wonder (Fantasize) what life might have been like. Tom, like Lance it saddens me that you had to put up with bulling because you were an Athlete. So sad! My advice to anyone reading this: Be true to yourself and follow your heart.

I no I am 3 years late but Tom u really said something that hit a cord with me. My son is 11 and wen he was 5 he started gymnastics and was so so good but kids at school began bullying him calling him a sissy and girl and a wimp nd he actually gave it up. I was gutted nd I wish he had someone like u to help him. U and Lance are such an inspiration to me. I just wish my boy had someone with him to help him through. Thank you for ur words nd ur videos. Much love xxxxxxxxxx

"Be proud of what you are."

You guys are terrific! Successful people always give back. Thank you.

Well done Tom & Lance plus it's great to see that Diana Princess of Wales is remembered in such positive programmes.

Dustin and Tom are such and inspiration to so many around the world, we love them so much and hope for all the best for them.

Boy did you guys bring back memories! I remember when I was in 5th grade recess. Some bully came up to me and wanted to pick a fight. Scared I reached out grabbed his hand/arm suddenlyhe was thrown OVER the top of me. And landed on the ground! The kids around me said that I knew judo. I did not! Just scared to death! He never bothered me again! But there's always another waiting around the corner. :) PEACE!

I love them ❤❤

I help to stop bullying in my school. We students get training to help each other.

Awesome! These two are so wonderful! Honest, genuine, beautiful inside and out!

There wasn't any type of physical bullying in my school, it was more verbal just kids making fun of each other and teasing each other and I know words can still hurt but compared to schools in countries like America I felt like I had it easier in a way. For me, I was made fun of because of weight. I was overweight almost all my life until a couple of years ago when I got sick for a while and I couldn't eat and I lost like 17 pounds (8 kg) in 10 days but seeing how my body was starting to finally look like something, I pushed myself to lose more and I did, but in return I got obsessed. I have body dysmorphia. I can starve myself for days, I never feel content with how I look and it's from the moment I wake up till I go back to sleep, I look in mirrors and instantly grab my thighs or stomach or arms and just start listing everything I'm unhappy with with my appearance and I "punish" myself throughout the day by not eating or walking till my legs can't hold me up anymore and still I don't think I look better or that this was enough.. and the thing is that I really don't think I would have been like this had people like friends, family, relatives had told me I looked fine the way I was or helped me lose weight without making fun of me or making me feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. I hope what you're doing works because a lot of people need this; be it sexuality or appearance, race, religion or background, bullying is something you take with you for the rest of your life. Thank you for this xx

This shows us that the bullies go nowhere and the others get through the hard times and come out the other side stronger than ever.

To a bullied teen, gay or straight: You will soon be establishing your adult life, earning your own money, creating your own circle of friends, building your own family if you want one. Your dreams will come true and the universe will give you gifts you could never have dreamed of. People will love you, respect you, trust you, look to you for leadership, and give you their thanks for being there for them.

I'm a 68 year old activist. Initially, although gay, argued with my gay friends that the issue was human civil rights not exclusively gay rights. Because we are not a united minority community, the human rights that some of us were fighting for before Stonewall and civil rights in general are bring pulled back. I really wish that there was a way to talk to both of you. I saw your presentations (3) at Oxford and know that you are might be some specific suggestions for an old and very tired and discouraged activist. I was outed in 1964 to give you an idea of how long my story is. I remember every detail but don't know how to put it all down. You are both amazing human beings. It's interesting that neither of us you out shadows the other. Two very healthy eggs I would have to guess.

Thanks guys for being an inspiration to so many people about so many subjects. Most kids getbullied at school some point in life. Especially LGBT kids which can lead to suicide! If your beingbullied talk to someone that you feel comfortable with. BE SAFE! PEACE!

Wait if I knew Tom and he went into the Olympics I’d be so shy like ‘OH MY GOd iTS HiM. THE OLYMPiAN. OH MY. iM BLESSED TO BE iN HiS PRESENCE.’ And i would spend so much time to work up the courage to say something to him my god.

What a lovely couple these two make💕💕 seeing how successful they are now it seems almost hard to believe that either of them were bullied. But it proves that you can definitely, absolutely come out stronger on the other side♥️♥️

its pure love❤💚💜💙💛 im melting

I LOVE THESE TWO ❤️❤️❤️

What inspirational people thank you for sharing

I become so sad that so many school`s can`t stop most of the bullying going on, so many life are affected😞☹️❤️

Their wedding rings ❤️

I have been getting bullied for six years now my school knows and my family but with out dance I would be un happy

That is so cool I grew up in New Zealand where everybody plays rugby except me and I remember I didn’t want to be bullied so I was aggressive and then I got outed at 15. Life is never the same but I excelled and now I have my doctorate it takes work and it takes defiance. Be the best you can be- it gets better.

Great and good that they are role models. This can help a lot to get it accepted!

Extreamly awesome message

Gentlemen, I say this with love and respect....this little episode is one of your very very best.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Tom and Lance always make my day I had a really bad/sad day at work and whenever I watch the both of them on RU-vid they put a smile on my face because they make me feel safe #lovewins 💚🙏

bravo! 👏👏👏👏

Hugs to them both.

Great message -

"sorry Tom" XD

Loved this vlog guys, because it shows some of who you are..... you're not fooling around or making jokes with each other. Thnaks

Salute to Tom and Lance.

Tom gives enormously good advice. What an inspiration he is!

I find it very inspirational that they share their stories with all of us. With such strong ambassadors this campaign will reach more people :) #couplegoals

Thank you ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Lance is such a great guy!

I was bullied quite a bit in elementary school, but not quite as much in high school. I had my religion and faith to help keep my head up, but did end up with a pretty low self esteem, which didn't help much in college. I still struggle with it at times even though the bullying ended decades ago. It left a pretty serious mark on me.

Lance and Tom wonderful

I liked school before 1996. Once 1996 happened and I went through my first back surgery at the age of 12 it went downhill. The bullying continued on until I graduated high school in 2003.

Good job, Tom&Lance🍀

I literally broke down listening to your stories of bullying here I am 56 years old and I still Harbor the pain in my heart the pain through school and also coming out as gay I believe there should be more organizations that can erase these invisible pain people hold inside that affects you through the years

They are amazing to gether x

vcs são lindos , amo vcs e suas historias

Love them 💖👬👌🏻🌈

Lol kids are cruel. Never thought you could get bullied for competing at the Olympics xD

this was nice!!

I love Tom xo

Children are pack animals, like wolves. Any difference is pounced on and ridiculed. The thing is, that what sets you apart as a child can be what makes you special and admired as an adult.

What a perfect couple

Absolutely charming. 🇺🇸💞👍💞🇬🇧

Age diffrence is 20 yrs and tom is so young but they make a great couple!!

I've been bullied my whole school years I am 59 years old today And it's still following me as if it's a Remember of yesterday, Just watching this interview makes it difficult to get through this interview.

❤

Wow I don’t know why I’m crying in the club rn

I can deeply understand being bullied at school it was horrific it truly changed my life and not for the best they teased me for being gay and I didn't even know myself, Sorry for being so down but it helps to vent sometimes. LisL

Imagin bullying someone because they were in the OLYMPIC GAMES

In middle school, I learned that “gay” was shameful word that could be applied to me, but still didn’t fully make the connection to my developing sexuality. It was still mostly just a joke. In high school is when it became serious. My homosexuality started to take full affect and I had to live in denial from my internalized homophobia and homophobia from my family, classmates, and teammates. I honestly believed that no one except hypothetical or rare exceptions to the rule that everyone was straight could possibly be gay and that no one liked or associated with those who were. That was especially hard for me with my social life already being vulnerable and threatened. It wasn’t until recently that I realized, not only that other people were LGBTQ, but also that some of them secretly had a thing for me. If I had realized that back then and we all felt safe and free to be ourselves, we could’ve had relationships. Homophobia has robbed us of normal experiences of young love. I would tell my younger self to go on RU-vid all the time to look up LGBTQ role models to prove that I’m not alone, that I’m normal and good, and that courageously showing my true self could ultimately lead to others doing the same and us all enjoying each other.

Was bullied myself (repressed it and it has since died away at least internally) the only thing that really helped me was being taller than at least 99% of my classmates

2:50 Would it be easier if I just stop doing what these people don't like? Take a moment and think: How many people answered yes to that? and how much the world has missed from them? And how much that has affected their own lives?

Tom went to a local school down here in Plymouth

I want to go to Puerto Rico and explore cliff diving.

Oh yes it is, depending on which side of the pond you love on, we know it's different and soccer/British football is rapidly becoming one of the biggest sports at schools. I'm constantly amazed at the skill, but confused by the rules since I didn't grow up watching it. So, I watch, I Google. But, Saturday crisp fall days are made for football/American. And, yes they're wearing pads but most are well over 6ft tall & 300lbs, the pads brace you for impact. In my day, girls weren't allowed to play football of either kind. Except once a year a "powder puff" game, Sr. Girls v Jr. Girls. We had no pads and the Varsity teams coached us which meant we lined up against them and got hit full on body contact. Of course, most of us landed several feet back from where we started. But, being able to get back up and take it again was more fun than playing the girls.

I have to wear a tie for school Lance 😂💖

Anyone has the full interview?

Today is much easier . Thank to new laws and new understanding we light are stronger and so much happier. Thanks guys onlya week or 2 following you guys but your both so fantastic . Lance is so funny . Lol

0:11 lol

I bet those bullies would eat crow now so see how great you too are ☺️

In our school if you use homophobic language then you get an hours detention and there is a group of people trying to get pride celebrated in our town which I think is great

Katya and Trixie

So Is this video about bullying?I saw Tom hit Dustin at 1:04.

Kind of glad that i am in a super small school, not that much bullying happens I guess, just your average derogatory comment.

💛🧡❤💜💙💚
