This was beautiful and nearly brought me to tears.

That was incredibly moving; thank you for sharing. I too found myself tearing up.

I wish that everyone who voted for Proposition 8 were required to watch this.

He is awesome. God this made me cryyyyy.

Not only because he is SO right.

But because I went and read the comments on the video (Why do I do that...HONESTLY. WHY DO I DO THAT?! IT JUST UPSETS ME.), and even though these people watched this wonderful speech of love and understanding, they're still so fucking full of ignorance and hate.
The one person mentioned that "gay relationships serve no part in recreation, as does your wife every time she pops a birth control pill."
LOL, It could serve a damn purpose if they allowed gay couples raise a child, it'd serve plenty purpose, raising a kid is just as important to recreative as popping it out.

Goddamn, people are gross. Reading people's disgusting opinions make me cry worse than anything. :/

Yeah, I got the link in an email, and it made me a bit teary-eyed as well. But I couldn't resist hashing it out with some douche on Youtube who insists that homosexuality is a choice. Think I might be able to catch him with a flaw in his logic, as he said "Studies have ALL pointed to a choice they made". So naturally, my response was "Then please cite these studies, tell me what journals they were published in, and the year of the publication, thanks."
I shouldn't join in on Youtube arguements, though. I'm sure my blood pressure is high enough...
