Zach Wahls Tells It Like It Is

Feb 4th, 2011

In November, conservative Tea Party-driven Iowans voted out three members of the State Supreme Court for having the audacity to read the Constitution correctly and provide a clear opinion favoring marriage equality. The state legislature has moved forward with plans to amend their constitution in order to reverse the decision and deny LGBT citizens their rights. The measure passed their House and may be dead in the senate, although it's clear the fight is not over.

Meet Zach Wahls. He spoke before the body a few days ago. As the product of a two mother upbring, the guy quite frankly makes an argument for a lot more kids to be raised by same-sex couples. It is a profoundly moving and impressive thing to see.
