That is one smart 10 yr old. Love the 2nd bit, about no one voting on a straight person's marriage. Adorable and on the money!

that's really sad that our youth is being polluted with this stuff.
It's trendy to be on the gay bandwagon…..doesn't make it right.
God forgives children cause they are innocent so it's all good.

Can we all say INDOCTRINATED?!!! Brainwashed little fuck! What does an 11 year give a shit about marriage of homos for?? tsk… Another moron in the making!

This isn't amazing at all. First of all, this 11 year old should be focusing on learning and being a kid. Standing up for gay rights - fine, no issue. Not saying the Pledge of Allegiance is un-American and disrespectful. I cannot support this child's stance when he is refusing to salute our country and it's people. Shame on you and if you don't like it, leave America!

if he refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance then maybe he should go live in a country where he can't bitch about American's rights (or what rights he feels there is a lack thereof) and then see how many rights he wants to bitch about not having………

AMAZING! This child is a true inspiration! It's a disgrace that an 11 year old Child has a better understanding of what equal rights entails than the American Government. Congratulations to his parents as well for raising such an intelligent, open-minded and open-hearted young boy! They should also be commended for supporting their son and his beliefs! ROCK ON!

AMAZZZZINNNGG!
This child should be applauded for standing up for what he believes in. It is a disgrace that this child has a better understanding than the American Government about what equal rights means!
He is not being "polluted" with this stuff. He is being ENLIGHTENED, there is a difference. Children shouldn't only be focused on learning the dribble that is fed to them in elementary school, but should be taught about world issues, such as gay rights and the fight for equality in his home country.
His parents should also be commended on raising such an intelligent, open-minded and open-hearted young boy! Kudos to them for supporting this young boy and what he believes in. If only more people had the courage to stand up for equal rights.

p.s. pretty sure if this child was "brainwashed" he would go along like a sheep of the flock like so many of you and stick to the status quo…. ROCK ON little man! Kudos to you for having a mind of your own, thinking for yourself and standing up for what you believe in!

Your the polluted one.. With your god fucked hate..

So many words in the bible's original text have no know meaning as the words died out. Words like “arsenokoitai” which was once thought to mean temple prostitutes then later thought to mean masturbation. At the time of Martin Luther, the latter meaning was in universal use. But by the 20th century, masturbation had become a more generally accepted behaviour, whereas many Christians were concentrating on homosexuality as a despised activity. New Biblical translations abandoned references to masturbators and switched the attack to homosexuals. The last religious writing in English that interpreted 1 Corinthians 6:9 as referring to masturbation is believed to be the [Roman] Catholic Encyclopedia of 1967.

This kid gives me hope you might get back on the right path some day!

I love all the mindless followers who spew hate based on the bible–which they can't seem to comprehend was written by men, to control the masses for their own benefit. As far as anyones refusal to say the pledge or anything else, that is why our ancestors fought and died, so we don't have to pledge anything to anyone or any country we don't care to.

Why do you hate the US Constitution ?
*
First Amendment to the United States Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
*
and the US Supreme Court ?
*
Schools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students…are possessed of fundamental rights which the State must respect, just as they themselves must respect their obligations to the State.
*
Our decisions have fashioned the principle that the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not allow a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or cause such action.
*
Why do you attack a kid for exercising his rights in support of equality for all Americans ?

If he refuses to pledge allegiance, then throw his ugly, nerdy, brainwashed ass OUT with the rest of his douchebag family. He's not old enough to know what a conviction IS, let alone stand up for one. He's been fed his lines, and those responsible should be ASHAMED. This child doesn't understand what he's been fed. Let's see how he feels about it all in ten years, and if he's still parroting the lines he learned.
.
I am opposed to gay marriage; always have been, always will be. My opposition doesn't come from religion, so suck it to those who wanna jump on that. Marriage is an institution invented for a man and a woman; it's about procreation and the protection of children within that family unit. Gays don't procreate naturally. If you guys want civil unions, great. But you don't have the right to corrupt a very old institution/tradition just because you want to. And what you do with your genitals does not need to be a civil right. Proud to be gay? Fabulous. I'm proud to be heterosexual. Deal with it.

Marriage existed long before the story of your god! Your church has no ownership of Marriage.
*
Marriage certificates are granted by government authority.
*
You choose not to use your right to marry, that's your choice. Gays deserve that same right to choose.
*
Your Declaration of Independence makes it clear:
*
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
*
It make no exceptions or exclusions for same sex couples!
*
The Fourteenth Amendment is quite clear The Equal Protection Clause that provides, that "no state shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". It clearly makes no exceptions or exclusions for gays.

Re: La Garse –

The history of marraige was about the ownership of women.
*
In the early 18th century, the English critic Daniel Defoe denounced marriage as "legalized prostitution." English law dispossessed any woman who married, with the notable exception of England's queens. Women were not allowed to own property or land or to control their own assets. William Blackstone, a celebrated 18th century jurist, put it this way: "By marriage, the very being or legal existence of a woman is suspended, or at least incorporated or consolidated into that of the husband, under whose wing, protection, or cover she performs everything."

Re: La Garse – I'm proud to hetrosexual too. Love men. Strictly dickly. You are not hiding behind wack religion. You are just a transparent bigot.
Gay couples have every right to marry. They have the same feelings for each other as you have for whatever you go out with. They have every right to adopt some of the thousands of unwanted children so long as they are financially stable. And they have the right to protect those children within a family unit. Civil unions are bullshit. Free country only for you?
That tradition/institution has been corrupted long ago. Like the time Britney Spears got drunk and "married" some guy in Vegas and dumped him the next day. That tradition/institution you mean? You really shouldn't come onto a public website and tell the world that you are busy worrying about what other people do with their genitals. Makes you sound really creepy.

Why didn't this little boy refuse to say the pledge for all of the other groups in this country who are and have been mistreated for different reasons for centuries: women, blacks, asians, mexicans, disabled, mentally ill, etc? I don't care if people want to stand up for something but it's interesting how they pick and choose what they will take a stand for. He has no life experience whatsoever so clearly he is just repeating what he has heard someone else day. For that reason, this little crusade is a waste of time.
