Summary
A resounding testament to the power of family and a reassurance that there is no wrong way to be who you are.
It has been almost two years since Zach Wahls (then 19 years old) bravely stood up in front of the Iowa House of Representatives and defended gay marriage and his family. Wahls proudly proclaimed, “The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character,” and his speech instantly went viral and became YouTube’s #1 political video of 2011.
