As many of you might know by the time you read this, IL has officially pasted the freedom to marry law. This means that now all couples in love in IL will have the same and equal opportunity to get married. This also means that this summer I am not just going to my cousin's civil ceremony, but now my first fabulous gay wedding! (and well wedding where I will finally be old enough to not wear the flowergirl's dress). I am beyond excited! So in honor of this I hope you will all watch this great video of kids' reaction to gay marriage. It is long, but truly inspiring. This video is hope for the future and nearly all the kids (though some a tad uncomfortable) are accepting and supportive of gay marriage. Plus it is super adorable!

You will laugh, you will cry, you will be overjoyed!! hahaha
While American and the world as a whole still has a ways away before gay marriage is worldwide accepted, and everyone is treated as equal...at least there is progress like this. I'm happy to say that today I live in a state equal for all people who love love.
I actually watched that video this morning, it was great! And congrats to your cousin!
ReplyDeleteI watched it the other day, and I loved it! It's awesome that most of the kids are so open minded and that even those who were a little confused are accepting. And cheers to Illinois and your cousin's wedding :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your cousin!!! Also, this video was great and definitely made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThought I was only gonna watch like the first 5 minutes of this, and I watched the whole thing. Loved it! A few things:
ReplyDelete1. That small kid in the pink shirt, laughed at him every time. "GAY IS BAD" aka priceless.
2. Really insightful how some of them drew parallels between today and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
3. THIS IS OUR FUTURE! YAY (mostly)
