Check out this “Pro-Gay Marriage” Essay By Fourth Grader


A fourth grader’s essay supporting marriage equality is going viral after a teacher posted a photo of it - typos and all - on Reddit.
“One of my fourth grade students chose gay marriage as his topic for a persuasive essay,” the teacher, a Reddit user who goes by rafa3l2, wrote.
“This is the result. More sense than some adults.”

The student wrote in support of gay marriage:
“Why gay people should be able to get married is you can’t stop two adult’s from getting married because there grown and it doesn’t matter if it creeps you out just get over it.""You should be happy for them because it’s a big moment in their life. When I went to my grandparents wedding it was the happies moment.”“I am not sharing this because of how perfect the sentences are, but because of how clear his thought process is on this specific issue,” the teacher wrote.“It isn’t as simple as pointing out mistakes and spelling errors.”While one fourth grade writer’s essay might not change any laws, GLAAD, an organization that supports equality for the LGBT community, praised it.Wilson Cruz, a spokesperson for the group, said:“This fourth grader is echoing what a majority of Americans of all ages now feel, and perfectly represents the respect for diversity that this student’s generation is learning."“This student is absolutely correct in saying that marriage is a ‘big moment’ for a couple, and creates a sturdy foundation for the rest of their lives."“Children are wiser than we often give them credit for.”
Same-sex marriage:
Support? Oppose?

I'm Not Gay! Doesn't Care What You Think! - Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell has more important things to worry about than your thoughts on his sexuality.
So when asked by Great Britain's Radio Times about rumors that he's gay, the TV and music producer gave a classic, Cowell-like response: No, but think whatever the heck you want!
"I couldn't care less because it's nothing to be ashamed of," Cowell said. "It feels like such an antiquated question now. If I was living 200 years ago in a coal mine, maybe, but I work in possibly the gayest industry in the world."
Little, but Simon did elaborate that if he were gay, "it would make no difference to my life or my career. A lot of my friends are gay, but I'm not."
And there you have it, folks. Spread all the rumors your heart sees fit.

“A Father’s Letter to His Gay Son Goes Viral, and Warms Hearts”


A letter from a dad to his gay son - who he overheard saying he planned to come out to his parents - has gone viral due to its simple, but seemly hopeful message.
Writes Nate's dad:

“I overheard your phone conversation with Mike last night about your plans to come out to me. The only thing I need you to plan is to bring home OJ and bread after class."
"We are out, like you now. I’ve known you were gay since you were six; I’ve loved you since you were born. Dad. PS Your mom and I think you and Mike make a cute couple.”

The letter was posted by FCKH8 (dot) com, a group dedicated to empowering youth through gay-positive, often snarky apparel, photos and videos.
The national organization Parents and Families of Lesbian and Gays (PFLAG) also saw the letter and loved it, calling it "what PFLAG is all about."
