Since marriage equality, or gay marriage if you will, is in the news again, I thought it would be a good time to reach into the archives and re-educate folks about marriage equality and kids. The above videos are over 10 years old, but they are as pertinent now as when they were first made.
In just about every anti-LGBTQ speech, accusation, or narrative is the claim that LGBTQ folks are seeking to harm kids. And the subject of marriage equality is no different. Generally speaking, as evidenced by the recent situation involving rapper Snoop Dogg, some people still have this intense fear of talking about us to kids. No matter what the subject is, they think that even talking to kids about us in the most simplistic tones will somehow present a danger to them.
I guess no matter how far we've come, old stereotypes and fears refuse to die. Especially in this new age of social media where people use videos and comments taken out of context for the sake of engagement.
But at the videos above prove, kids are not stupid, and they can cut through the noise generated by lies and fear to see the truth in the heart of the matter.
