Our Sense of Family Comes From the Commitment We Make to Each Other

This young man is amazing.  This video clips shows 19-year-old University of Iowa engineering student Zach Wahls speaking out in support of his same-sex parents and other same-sex households during an Iowa House of Representatives public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 to amend the Iowa Constitution to Define Marriage as Between One Man, One Woman.

He is so poised - and notice he's not reading his speech. He's speaking from the heart. What a testiment to good parenting.

I loved it too! Though it reminded me of Sidney Poitier in the movie 'Guess who's coming to dinner' where he had to be super talented to make the case that his fiances bigoted parents should accept him. What a horrible set of assumptions many people seem to have about each other there, that you have to be just like them to even achieve their respect enough to even be listened too or that your point of view has any credibility at all.

This dude should go into
