The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?

Darren sez, "A disarming video of an 86-year-old WWII veteran from a public meeting on Maine's marriage equality bill on April 22, 2009."

Usually older people are against gay marriage, so it is very refreshing to see this man. Thanks for posting.

I cried watching that. My best friend is gay and has had a hard time accepting himself. This means a lot to me that this man would share his experiences. That
was beautiful.

Great video. Just saw it on FB.
Everyone who is against equality for gays and lesbians, and the people that supported Prop 8 should watch and learn. |
