On Saturday, Denver resident Ethan McNamee was front and center at the Colorado State Capitol pushing for same sex marriage in his state. McNamee arranged for the rally because he's been hearing a lot more anti-gay remarks used to taunt people, and because there is a same-sex couple that lives in his neighborhood who are not allowed the same rights and privileges as other Americans.
Ethan McNamee got angry, and then he got busy.
"Everybody is different in a good way," he said. Ethan believes that if two people love each other that is the only issue to be considered, so he took it upon himself to arrange the rally and line up the guest speakers. He admitted it was more work then he thought it would be, but adds it was fun.
So, listen and watch the news reports of Ethan McNamee's marriage equality rally in Denver.
Oh, yeah, one more thing: Ethan McNamee is in the third grade at Montclair Elementary.
Ethan McNamee is the future. And he's my newest hero.
Hooray for the future!
