Zach Wahls, 19, speaking to the Iowa state legislature about growing up with two moms:(Warning: Watch this with tissues nearby.)
“After all, your family doesn’t derive its sense of worth from being told by the state, ‘You’re married. Congratulations.’ No. The sense of family comes from the commitment we make to each other…It comes from the love that binds us. That’s what makes the family.” Well said, Zach.
The Iowa Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2009. Only five states and our nation's capital legally allow same-sex marriage, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.

"(Full disclaimer: I'm agnostic.) In reading the New Testament, Jesus invited EVERYBODY (prostitutes, tax collectors, e.g. people considered immoral and unjust) to the "table." Meaning, Jesus wanted to accept EVERYBODY, despite their background, occupations, etc. To all the so-called Christians who are denouncing Zach, you're being a Pharisee. "
