A few of the comments:

GREAT speech. Laid out eloquently and powerfully. Hopefully he was able to change some people's minds and show people they are being silly opposing such an issue.

Wow. Just .. wow. I would be so proud of him if he were my son. Very well done. Talk about being raised well.

1. What a fine young man!
And our children are a reflection of our parenting. It appears that this young man was raised very well indeed.

Outstanding video and highly recommended viewing!

2. Lawrence O'Donnell just played his entire speech on his show!
Rachel stated at the beginning of her show, that she had to have her makeup redone as she got all teary-eyed while watching... :hug:

4. A Wonderful Young Man Indeed...
just a shame the haters passed the resolution. Just proves hatred is not amenable to reason.

5. A new Zach Wahls interview
Here’s a TV interview we just did with Zach Wahls 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 being thrust into the public eye, and what other young people can do to fight for equality and speak out against intolerance.
