Not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. She is a truly wonderful person.

This is an incredible acceptance speech . . . we should all try to emulate this amazing person's love and support of the LGBT community, and everyone else as well! Love that OITNB has provided the most recent opportunity for her to shine!

Natasha Lyonne is a fucking icon! But I'm a Cheerleader got me through my extremely Jesussy conversion therapy experience during Covid when I had nowhere to go and we couldn't leave for months. I did however have a phone. I credit her, RuPaul, Jamie Babbit, and the entire cast for helping me survive. Thank you so much for caring about us and putting in so much work all these years!

This has got to be the best speech I have heard in a long time. I teared up more than just a little. Everything that she said speaks volumes...I love her more now than I ever have. Natasha Lyonne is one of my two role models, I love her so much.

Natasha is obviously a very talented, confident , out-spoken woman with a dedication to equality that is simply inspiring. I’m sure she’s done lots of things and, in her future, there will be tons more roles that she will make her own, but I will adore and admire her always as the naïve-but-inspirational Megan from _But I’m A Cheerleader_. It’s amazing to me that someone so confident and so outspoken can fit so easily and naturally into a role that seems the polar opposite of the actress who portrays her.
I didn’t know (until 4 years after the presentation of this honor) that Natasha had earned the Ally award but I couldn’t imagine a more deserving person than she.
Kudos to HRC for recognizing such a devoted champion and Brava to Natasha for her dedication and her obviously-passionate advocacy for the rights of LGBTQ people everywhere! 😊👍

Everything she says is so true. Everyone should be able to love who they want and experiment without fear. Seeing this video 10years later makes me proud of the way we’ve come but also makes me sad about how short it is… we need to keep fighting for our rights, for everyone’s rights!
