Speaking:
The speech focus on the gay and straight people. The speaker has photographed 2,000 people who consider themselves somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum and asked many of them if they can you assign a percentage to how gay or straight they are.Most people, it turns out, consider themselves to exist in the gray areas of sexuality, not 100% gay or straight. And this presents a real problem when it comes to discrimination: Where do you draw the line?
Time2:02'15"
The author observed that an individual's position on the policy question turns out to be a flawed and inconsistent on his or her attitude toward gays and lesbians.
Time3:01'56''
Discuss the case of Eich's forced resignation.The author commit  to work on new initiatives to reach out to those who feel excluded or who have been marginalized.
Time4: 02'30"
From Eich's case, the author highly doubt that CEO should be judged not just by his or her conduct in the professional realm, but also by political causes he or she supports as a private citizen. Illustrate abortion as an example.
Time5: 02'57''
Whether Eich's  forced resignation is consistent with the company's embrace of diversity and openness.Its implications are the general practice of punishing people in business for bygone political donations is most likely to entrench powerful interests and weaken the ability of the powerless to challenge the status quo.
Time6:02'50"
The forced resignation sends the message that if you want to get ahead at Mozilla, you best say nothing about any controversial political issue, which could affect your career, whether now or years from now in a changed political environment. We should stay true to ourself.
The rest:02'50''
The hint of humanity; disinclined to stop at personal persuasion
Obstacle: 07'50''
The idea of what is “against nature” has been central to messages of prejudice about both interracial relationships and homosexuality.

还没看文章，先听了ted talk 感觉好有爱啊！！

云游

又是gay得话题，同性恋的人可以接受存在，但是真的不理解why?尤其不理解的是"东方不败"一类~
Honestly, I'm really really not interested in gay issues...not because I discriminate gay ,but because I believe the more we talk about this issue, the more disputed discussion and discrimination will be brought as well. Consequently, gay people will suffer more as a result of this unecessary discussion. Facts are, from my point of view, trying to persuade people who can't accept gay attitude to accept it would arouse more aversion instead of agreement.

谢谢Penny啦~~~~
　　[speaker]
　　  The speaker is a gilr. When she was only 6 years old, she dicided to be a boy. She dressed and behaved like a boy , and nobody around her knew she was a girl. Her first love was a girl. She spent years to find out who she was. She found that in the US, a large majority of people were against the homosexial. Gays and lesbians were thought to be second class citizens. She decided to go through the contry and photograph the people who are not 100% straight. She made a vedio to show those faces. She thinks that poeple are not of single orientation. People who are straight don't actually belong to one group. The homosexial should not be treated like that because they have the right to choose.
　　
　　[time 2]  2:06  137wpm
　　  Years ago, a company donated much money to a campaign, which was in favor of a law to ban same-sex marriage. The ballot failed. I hate and oppose the ballot. I spent much time on the issue of same-sex marriage.
　　
　　[time 3]  2:18  115wpm
　　  CEO of Mozilla stepped down becasue stockholders were opposed to his donation 6 years ago. At that time a large percent of American people thought that same-sex marriage should be illegal. Now people began to switch their opinions. What Eich wrote about to promote equality couldn't save him.
　　
　　[time 4]  2:36  125wpm
　　  Eich's longtime business partnera was shocked by Eich's behavior and defended the need of his resignation. The whole thing means people judge a CEO by combining his/her political position with his/her professional resposibility. But will this combination make America a better society? Not really.
　　
　　[time 5]  2:48  120wpm
　　  People can't deny Eich's contribution to the company. Mozilla's attempt was to show its openess, to show that it was in favor of freedom. It says it welcomes people with different backgrouds. At least we know it doesn't  welcome those who are opposed same-sex marriage. Not everyone is welcome by Mozilla.
　　
　　[time 6]  2:18  145wpm
　　  Mozilla's statement continued. It said that its value toward equality would make the world better. But it wouldn't. The resignation of Eich showed that if you want to keep your career in Mozilla, then don't show out your political orientation easily. I guess Mozilla will not hire me and people like me.
　　
　　[obstacle]  10:30  127wpm
　　  Honey Maid launched an ad which showed diversity and love. It deacribed different families as wholesome. The ad compaign had many opponents but the company hired two artists for help. With the help of the artists, more and more people bagan to love the ad and the idea it conveyed. To show the openness and tolerance is a good way for business success.

Speaker

Human beings are not one dimentional.
Speed
1--02:00
The author hated, opposed, spent time working around for the ballot that ban same-sex marriage initiative.

Author met people support gay equality in general, but oppose it when it happenss to his relatives.
2--01:32
Mozilla browers gets marginalized because its CEO anti-gay donation years ago.
3--02:10
CEO was forced to resigned by political cause.
This attitude will damage our society.
Issues like abortion will last a long time.
Mozilla's behavior towards Eich would have chilling effect on political speech and civic participation.
4--02:18
Mozilla's behavior towards Eich is inconsistent with it alleged embrace of diversity and openess.
5--01:38
This forced resignation is a betrayal of vaule they stated.
They just stand with what polical policy stands now.
Obstacle--08:33
Honey Maid presenting a family with two dad in their ad calls attention.
Ohter companies aslo has similar family ad but not so obvious.

4-6
time 2 1'49
p1:background Brendan Erich $1000 to ban same-sex marriage.
P2:auhor's own attitude toward gay marriage(supportive)
P3:frequently discuss with this issue, weird point showed up: same-sex marriage supporter more likely to to tolerant gay, and opponents turns to be more friendly.

Time 3 and time 4 5'20
Author believes that if the attitudes that a CEO should be judged not just by his or her conduct in the professional realm, but also by political causes he or she supports as a private citizen spreads, it will eventually harm our society. using a comparision between the abortion issue and mozzila issue, authorts suggests that diverse and pluralistic society needs to fill with different voices.

Time 5 2'10
p1/p2/p3:author introduces a paradox view (equality is necessary for meaningful speech vs freedom of speech is the way to fight for equality)
rest: because Mozilla holding a view that was hated by many people, the company fire him with nothing to do with his ability to his work, the company is not holding a quality platform for people with different views.

Time 6 4'44
Although the same-sex marriage supporters win this debates over Mozilla issues and it seems to show the world that different people deserves the same equality, however their victory is just another reflection of a unequal force for the people who holding different views from them. Just as the mozilla company did, fired a ceo solely because he disagree with them for the same-sex marriage, telling people "change your mind, or else."

Time 7 9‘27
aesthetically striking visual stunts:审美观惹人注目的视觉特技
moral conviction：道德观念
p1: introduces culture war in the business world
p2:introduce honey maid ads regarding two dads family of the wholesome concept.
p3:how this company react with the controversial reactions of their audience
p4:word classifications
illustrate business use trends of people's view to sell, and the ideas in ads is not their real interests. however, trends show that some of business starting changing their views.
p6&p7:coca-cola and honey maid ads and as well as a veto of anti gay legislation shows that the real incentive for people to do this sort of thing is money.
rest: use another example of the veto to anti gay marriage legislation to conclude that how small trends can separate into a large scale, such as national and global.
