Kids React to Gay Marriage: California Children Share Their Opinions On Proposal VIDEOS [WATCH]
A new viral video hitting the Internet shows that most kids have an extremely favorable position on gay marriage.
The clip, produced by brothers Benny and Rafi Fine as a part of their Kids React video series, has gone viral with over two million views in a 48-hour period.
In a note before the video The Fine brothers wrote, "The opinions of children about these issues can give incredibly valuable insight into where our society currently stands and where we are headed as people."
They then asked a group of California children, aged 5-13, their opinions on gay marriage after showing them two recent proposal videos which went viral: that of a lesbian couple in Washington as well as one that took place in a Utah Home Depot Store. In the latter, Spencer Stout proposed to his boyfriend Dustin Reeser in a flash mob performance that has gotten over ten million hits on Youtube.
Overall, the kids mostly responded to the video in a positive way, despite some initial shocks when they realized the couples were in fact gay.
"Okay so, they're gay, but it's okay," Troy, a 13-year-old boy in the video, said after watching Stout and Resser's video.
After seeing the second video, 11-year-old Lydon chimed in saying that more videos like this should be seen.
"That's what I want to see a lot, Gay and Lesbian people shouldn't be hiding," she said.
The kids were then presented with numerous facts about gay marriage, including that only 14 states in the U.S. have legalized it. The children all revealed that they believed it wasn't right.
"That is just insane," 9-year-old Dash said.
"Out of 50? That's outrageous," Lydon added.
"I need to talk to Mr. President," 10-year-old Jayka said.
One of the kids did express that he wasn't a fan of the concept.
"That made me sad...because gay is bad for you," 5-year-old Lucas said, though when asked why he felt that way he couldn't say why.
Overall, the video is being seen as a positive message for the LGBTQ community as a beacon of hope for the future.
