I Couldn't Have Said it Better...
I finally saw this today and I must say that in my own experience as a daughter of gay & lesbian parents, I couldn't agree more! Mr. Wahls expressed what I try to express in my daily life. My parents sexual orientation has no bearing on how loved and supported I was. My parents are my parents and they did a great job. I'm happy, healthy, married, a mother, university educated, and I even have a wonderful job with my church. I am by all accounts, successful! My parents produced a child that they can be proud of, just like this young man's parents did. They have a well spoken gentleman in their corner. We are all fortunate to have him speaking up about what an LGBT family is really like.
We are and always will be a normal family! We are no different and like here in Canada, families like ours deserve the same right to marry and live in-love, together, equal.

I wish all of the bigots that are so against gay and lesbians could read this post.
Bravo!
I truly believe that families from same-sex unions will be more accepted and treated as mainstream in all of the Americas, North and South. I think the tides are shifting and the only thing that holds people back is fear.
The majority of people are afraid that somehow accepting same-sex marriage will change who they are or lessen their marriage, but when they are face to face with someone they love who is gay, that is when they learn, through love, that they were wrong.
It might sound cliche, but love is the only thing that can cure the fear that people have against homosexuality. The young man in the video came from a place of pure love for his family and that is why people are listening :)
