It's a night of celebration, of change, of not being ashamed of your race, creed color, situation, circumstances and environment, or past. Now I am free, somewhat. Thank you for the switch that went off inside finally when I realized my silence said I cannot help nor change and that is not who I am. I love you all very much for creating a safe space. The time is now. I was about 14 here, it started at 12. Peace Be Still ??

King juga menyempatkan untuk berterimakasih kepada Lady Gaga melalui Twitter, karena telah memberi "ruang" bagi para korban untuk bisa mengungkapkan suara mereka yang selama ini tertindas.

. @Jaime_King you are so brave to come forward, a warrior leading the way. I don't feel alone anymore watching this happen is unreal.
