安妮·海瑟薇人权运动晚会上支持同性恋的英语演讲，中英字幕英语文本
安妮·海瑟薇力挺同志：同性恋在我们家，从来不是一个议题。曾多次站出来立挺同志朋友的好莱坞甜心安妮·海瑟薇(Anne Hathaway)，在2008年发表对于哥哥出柜的一段谈话，感动了许多人，也让我们了解在面对社会议题时应有的正面积极的态度。
安妮海瑟薇十五岁的时候，得知了她的哥哥米歇尔是一名同性恋，她表示：“我理解我哥哥，全心全意爱他，尊重他的自由。”由于她支持同性恋，从而成为男同性恋者心中偶像的女性演员，这不仅仅因为她的美丽、时尚、随和，以及如奥黛丽·赫本般高雅无暇的气质，更因为她对同性恋者及同性婚姻的公开支持。安妮·海瑟薇08年洛杉矶人权运动晚会上的英语演讲文本：
My dear friends,You have honoured me this evening to a degree I don't feel I yet deserve. I believe I have recieved this award not because of what I have done, but because of how I was born and raised. I was born the younger sister of a gay man, and the daughter to parents who are empathetic to, and loving of the LGBT comminity. In my household, being gay was and is no big deal. When my brother came out we loved him, hugged him and that was that. When he brought his first boyfriend home for a couple of weeks one christmas, the only comment from my father was, "Please, don't mix up out underwear!". We had no idea that I would become notable for my work and that our family would be labelled as having 'an alternative family lifestyle'... for the record, we don't think there is anything alternative about our family values. I don't consider myself just an ally of the LGBT community, I consider myself family. And so, I'm doing what we should all do with our families, loving you, supporting you and if anyone ever tries to hurt you, I'm gonna give them hell. There are people that have said I'm being brave by supporting gay marriage and adoption, but with all die respect I humbly dissent. I'm not being brave, I'm being a decent human being, and I don't believe I should recieve an award for that. For believing that love is a human experience, not a political statement. Sadly, we don't live in a world where everybody feels the same, and so my family and I will try and help the good fight continue until that long awaited moment arrives. When our rights are equal and when the political limits on love have been smashed. This award does not in any way show the pinnacle of my work with the LGBT community, rather a triumphant roar to say that we are just beggining our fight together. In closing, to paraphrase a quote by the man imbodied so well by the late and great Heath Ledger, I swear HRC, I swear, I have not yet done enough to deserve this award, but the best is yet to come!
