'Outspoken' Iowan Zach Wahls Dispels Myths and Misinformation About Families with Gay Parents: VIDEO
Amazing-Iowan-with-two-moms Zach Wahls continues his advocacy in a new video series for the Family Equality Council:
The Outspoken Generation empowers young adults with LGBT parents to speak out about our community’s families. These young advocates will share their stories and advocate for family equality on the local, state, and national levels. For 30 years we've been raising our children to tell the truth, love their country, and be good neighbors. Now they are speaking out, dispelling myths and misinformation about their families, and changing the national dialogue about family values.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
In related news, Wahls is scheduled to go on a speaking tour across Iowa: "According to the advocacy group One Iowa, the former University of Iowa student will travel to cities across the state to speak at parties and other gatherings about same-sex marriage starting in August and again in December."
"Guys...there's maybe TWO trolls on this site with about 15 different handles."
@Kyle: I have long suspected not only the point you make, but also that the offensive racist (often combined with sexist and homophobic elements) posts on here may very well be from bigots who pose as gay, white males. For all I know, they could ALL be posted by Maggie Gallagher herself, or, more likely, by someone in her organization or one that shares its desire to find ways to try to drive wedges between gays and racial minorities (which has been documented).
Posting anonymous posts on a gay blog to try to achieve that goal would be right in long with their goals, and it obviously does work with some poeple (hence the posts that respond to them, by REAL people, blamimng gay white males for all the ills of society.
The trolls' posts are at odds with the sentiments expressed by every gay person I have ever met in real life, and the "pick-a-fight-to-drive-a-wedge" posts NEVER can be verified with a name and face as being an actual gay person they are purporting to be.

Zach is so well-spoken. It doesn't hurt that he's cute to boot. And that stubbly beard is nice too.

Zach should be the poster boy for why lesbian couples make good moms.
