4th grader writes very wise response to those who argue against marriage equality. National Organization of Marriage claims they are being bullied.

This is what the letter says, for those who can't read it:

Why gay people should be able to get married is you can’t stop two adult’s from getting married because there grown and it doesn’t matter if it creeps you out just get over it. And you should be happy for them because it’s a big momment in their life. 

When I went to my grandparents wedding it was the happies momment. As you can see gay people should have the right to get married and you shouldn’t judge other peoples lives because if you was gay you wouldn’t want people talking about you.

Seems reasonable, don't you think?

Yes well YOU are not connected to the gay bashers over at NOM. THEY responded like this:  

Now, of course, we’re not interested in arguing with a fourth-grader. But what does interest us is the assessment given to the letter by Salon.com journalist Katie McDonough. She called it the “world’s most perfect argument in support of marriage equality”! 

McDonough highlights especially the child’s advice that those who stand for marriage between one man and one woman, that they should “just get over it.” 

Proof again that the activists pushing same-sex marriage aren’t interested in reasoned debate and argument: just silencing the other side. A tactic fitting maybe for a schoolyard, but not the public square. 

"Reasoned debate?" Since when do the opponents of same sex marriage engage in a "reasoned debate?"

Now I imagine that the reference to the schoolyard was an attempt to equate educating people that marriage equality is not sinful to knocking somebody off of the monkey bars during recess. Yes the comparison is SO striking.

However allow me to let you all in on a little secret.

Children do NOT inherently think homosexuality is disgusting, sinful, or wrong. THAT is a learned behavior, the most brutal lessons being delivered during Middle School.

In fact during early childhood children are incredibly accepting of all kinds of differences among their peers. It is only by checking the responses by the adults that they are able to determine what is, and is not, acceptable.

So for this fourth grader to have NO problem accepting same sex marriage, is NOT an indication of indoctrination. It is in fact an indication that the indoctrination has not yet begun.
