Moving speech by man with two mothers

    Either my ear buds are messed up or the sound on the video is.  

    I heard a bit of his speech on the radio the other day.  He speaks so eloquently and intelligently.  I was moved to tears.

    I hold firm in my belief that in a generation or two the idea that banning equal marriage will seem just as wildly absurd as women not getting to vote or different races using separate drinking fountains.  We WILL get there.  I know it.  We just have to muck through a lot of hate and intolerance first.  :-(

  • Agreed.  I was very moved by this video and can't wait for the day when institutionalized bigotry is a thing of the past.
  • i was also moved to tears by his speech.

    i find it almost laughable that racism is just flat out not tolerated (well, for the most part) but we still find to same sex people LOVING EACH OTHER disgusting.

    how fvcking backwards (and afraid) are we?
