"My family is just as real as yours!"
He's the young man who speaks out for his lesbian moms.
He reminded us about the "Protect Marriage" platform from RNC 2004.
He should run for office some day!

(1,788 posts)My parents divorced when I was 5, in the early 70's....When Zach was speaking, I was crying. I so understood what he felt like. I was around 12-13 when I found out what a "broken" home was. I remember that said I to the adult that I didn't feel like my home was broken, and she said, "neither do I." The republicans like nothing more than to make people hate the "others" ....such a sad life they lead.
Zach will go far....an Iowan I can be proud of....maybe he can move into the stunning Steven King's district and kick that creep out
