Iowans, young and old speak out for marriage equality


Many of you have seen the video of the eloquent 19 year-old University of Iowa student who spoke in front of the Iowa state legislature a couple weeks back. If you haven't, it's worth watching. Check it out below.



Zach Wahls, who was raised by two mothers, speaks about his normal childhood and upbringing in a truly touching speech. This kid is a future lawmaker himself, if you ask me.

On the other end of the life experience spectrum, is Jean Argus. An 80 year-old native Iowan who speaks about her life in Iowa, her upbringing, and her role as mother to her gay son.

These two people: Proud Iowans, dedicated members of their family and community, and straight; share their personal stories and definition of family.
