Kids react to gay marriage

One of the more common arguments against gay marriage is that, well, how are parents supposed to explain that to their kids? They have to explain death, morality and sex, but having to explain homosexuality? TOO FAR, GAYS!

If the video below is any indication, however, most kids are a lot smarter and more open-minded than we give them credit for. The video, by The Fine Bros, involves a group of kids watching clips of gay marriage proposals and reacting to them.

As it turns out, kids don’t really need to have gay marriage explained to them all that much. They just sort of . . . get it. Sorry, anachronistically narrow-minded people! You can’t actually use your kids to justify your personal views! (You can still blame them on your religious and political views, but not your kids.)
