Kid with his head on straight won't stand up

This awesome kid, of his own accord, decided one day that he wouldn't stand and say the Pledge of Alleigence until all Americans really had liberty and justice.  Pretty cool for a 10 year-old.  He received a GLAAD Media Award.

Thursday

NYS Senators Ruth Hassell-Thompson and Diane Savino speak on marriage equality

Heartbreaking and strong. And, below, searingly modern and logical.
Really start listening at 3:13, she lays the issue out so clearly.
"We in government do not determine the quality or validity of peoples relationships -- if we did we would not issue three quarters of the marriage licenses we do"

"we're giving away husbands on network TV"

"or . . . the littlest groom, where thirty desperate women competed to marry a dwarf."

"they stand up there before god and man, even in Senator Diaz's church, and swear to love honor and obey, and they don't mean a word of it."

She really hits the nail on the head. Please forward this to anyone and everyone, and let the argument speak for itself. And let the hysteria abate.
