(Laughter) But I was learning as my friends were, and people I didn't know around the country, that we had to be our own advocates, that we needed to fight back people's view that if you had a disability, you needed to be cured, that equality was not part of the equation.
(Rires) Mais j'apprenais tout comme mes amis et d'autres gens à travers le pays, que nous devions nous défendre nous-mêmes, et combattre les idées reçues selon lesquelles il fallait guérir les personnes handicapées et selon lesquelles l'égalité était un sujet secondaire.
