Excellent Arguement for Gay Marriage

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

Few people who come along ever seem to be able to voice their opinions, let alone voice their opinions well.
The most silver tongued among us can make even the impossible seem plausible and many of them fight for all the wrong causes, unfortunately. Luckily, there are those among us that voice their opinion so eloquently as this young man has:

His parents must be very proud of him. I can see that he is very proud of his parents.

I hope we see more kids like this guy in the years to come, standing up for what they believe is right and proudly declaring it in the face of those who would have them sit quietly for fear of change.

[Dotard]

Unless of course what they believe is right differs from what you believe is right.

Excellent video.

Children are just as well-off with gay parents as they are with straight parents. I even have the source:

Clever lad. Very nice speech. Dark and successful and relatively attractive.... i'm interested already.

Tis what I might expect from someone in the 99%. I'm a 98%, and look at the failure I am I guess he's had two more years... so there might even be some competition in the relationship, with me as the underdog for once (that would be really really weird, as I'm used to winning most of the time 0.o).

I agree, this nineteen year old is a very good argument for 'gay marriage'... i've never seen a better one infact. Maybe he should apply for president, i'd like to see his face plastered more places v_v

Also a nice argument for getting government as far away from marriage as possible. As he said, family doesn't come from the government saying people can marry, it comes from commitment to each other. I've said it before and I'll say it again; none of these problems would exist in the first place if the government simply turned around and said "We have no business defining and regulating human relationships."

Marriage isn't special because the government decrees it; marriage is special because two (or more) people decree it to each other.

Brilliant speech. Hope he gets what he wants. It's only fair that he does.

Nice speech but it had no effect on the fascist jesus freaks in the Iowa House.

The Iowa House passed an amendment to the state constitution, Feb. 1 that would prohibit any form of relationship recognition for same-sex couples. The amendment passed by a 62 to 37 vote and will now be sent to the Iowa Senate for consideration.

To paraphrase the old saying...."You can always tell a republican but you can't tell him much."

Idiots. What the hell are they afraid of?
