Performing Arts teacher Sue Johnson was suspended for three days for playing a music video for her class.

Was it a video that glorified violence? Showed nudity? Was it full of graphic language?

Nope- it supported marriage equality.

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) for Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to see every controversial moment!

Kameron Slade, a 5th grade student at PS 195 in Queens, NY had planned to deliver a pro gay marriage speech for a school wide competition, but his school principal forbid Slade from making the speech because of its inappropriate content.

The worse part is that Slade's speech is incredibly eloquent with amazing depth, and yet he will not be able to share his powerful message with his classmates.

Not only can the intelligent young man not give the speech, but his principal said if he doesn't choose an entirely different topic altogether then he won't be able to even participate in the speech competition.

That's terrible!

Here's what Slade's mother said about gay marriage:

"It’s a part of our lives now. They need to open up. The New York City Department of Education needs to open up."

Take a look at the touching video (above) to hear the important message that Slade's classmates are going to miss.

WE want to hear what YOU have to say, Kameron!!!

We seriously have a huge crush on Zach Wahls! He's soo amazing!!

The 20-year-old wonder man, who gave a powerful speech advocating FOR gay marriage as the Iowa House of Representatives deliberated on the constitutionality of gay marriage (they ultimately banned it), is coming out with a brand new book.

In the video (above) he talks about his experience growing up with two moms, and how they helped him grow into a mature and functioning adult.

HIGH functioning if you ask us.

Here's what the man said himself:

"My hope for the book above all else is to really show people that this is just a portrait of another American family. Just as valid as any other American family."

So true, Zach.

So true.
