Watch 19-year-old Zach Wahls speak eloquently before the Iowa legislature—which was considering an amendment to ban same-sex marriages in one of the six states where it is legal—in defense of being raised by two lesbian moms... then try to justify how gay families should not be allowed children. A firestorm of publicity that followed the viral spread of his appearance helped kill the proposed amendment. From
MoveOn.org.
Thanks, Alice!
Here’s our interview with Zach where he talks about what it was like growing up with two mothers, what led him to decide to go and speak before the House of Representatives, how his life has changed after this speech thrust him into the public eye, and what other young people can do to fight for equality and speak out against intolerance.
