This week has been incredible. The past few days have shown me just how lucky I am, in spite of all that has happened. I am forever grateful and humbled by the outpouring of love and sympathy from all of you. --------------------------------------- Tom’s anniversary was difficult, to be sure, but your contributions to the #TapTapTap event were so healing. I could only fit a few images in this collage and I haven’t had a chance to look at all of your comments, photos, stories, and more, but I will eventually to get to every last one. --------------------------------------- #TapTapTap was about celebrating Tom’s life and spreading awareness about LGBT issues. I’d say it was beyond a success and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Keep checking out the Facebook event page. It is still active and I promise you will be touched by the poignant words and images everyone has posted and continues to post. --------------------------------------- In addition to the thousands of you who honored Tom on Wednesday, I want to publicly thank a few friends and organizations who helped spread the day's message in a massive way: --------------------------------------- Adam Lambert, Alex Newell, Adrienne Marquand, Brittany Snow, Charles Sloan Chan Massey, Chelsea Briggs, Colby Melvin, Courtney Knowles, Demi Lovato, Ethan Hethcote and Mark Miller, George and Brad Takei, Jason Collins, Joey Diamond, Lance Bass, Lindsey and Ben Bledsoe, Matthew Lush and Nick Laws, Matthew Scott Montgomery, Mike Snedegar, Miles Jai, Monique Coleman, Nikki Reed, Pauley Perrette, Ricki Lake, Rosie O’Donnell, Shantel VanSteen, Sophia Bush, Terrell Cabral, NoH8 Campaign, GLAAD, Love Is Louder, and MTV Act. --------------------------------------- I can't thank you all enough. The YouTube video and documentary would never have happened without your support and it’s so important that we continue to fight for Equal Love, Equal Rights. This story belongs to all of us; I am so proud to be one small part of it. --------------------------------------- Tap tap tap, Shane --------------------------------------- P.S. The song you hear is a clip from one of Tom's songs, "Sincerely Yours."
