I felt like this video deserved it's own thread. I'm very impressed with how open, honest and even confrontational this guy is on the respective topic.

Thoughts?

No video showing up for me, just a note that
Http/1.1 Service Unavailable ??

edit to add: After Googling, I'm going to take a wild guess & figure this is some portion of his pro-gay speech (that's how it was described on several of the video links I found). So far, none of the four videos I clicked on will load, not sure whether that's a traffic thing, a copyright thing, or what.

Great video, very level headed thoughts on the subject. Realistic and honest view on gay rights.

Unfortunately it won't sway many minds.

I don't know that I would consider it a "pro-gay" stance, rather, I'd say it's more of a "pro-logic" stance.

To Jon anything that has to do with acceptance of gays is "pro-gay", my uncle is the same way.

As I noted, that phrase was taken straight from the first 2 (and I think 3 of the first 4) videos that popped up when I Googled. I'd say it's fair enough for either of us to suspect I won't disagree with the description, but let's not jump that far ahead to make it definitive.

He was featured in other videos on other topics within the first 10-15 links when I searched, since the link here was wonking when I replied, absent some description I couldn't be completely sure whether it was this or the next most common which was something to do with labor unions (we do cover quite a bit of ground around here)

I wasn't stating you were saying his speech was a "pro-gay" one definitively. I was just saying that if I were to label it that or the other, I'd label it the other.
