A 10-year-old boy stands up for gay rights!

What makes some kids so smart, sensitive and nondiscriminatory? It's the way they are raised, of course. What about our gay children who were also raised that way and are now discriminated against?
In the article posted here, this 10-year-old boy refused to say the pledge of allegiance because
gay people do not experience "liberty and justice for all." He understands that gays are denied certain civil rights and sees that as unacceptable.
Okay mothers, why should our smart, sensitive, nondiscriminatory children be denied their rights? What we want is acceptance. Gay marriage is a right! That doesn't mean every gay couple has to run out and get married, but they must have the right. Relationships are relationships. Marriage is not a requirement. It is a right.
Who in our society should have the authority NOT to allow gay marriage? Beats me?
My favorite Wanda Sykes quote says it all: "If you don't believe in same sex marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex."
