I read an article online the other day that really touched me. It was about a 9 year old kid named Ethan Mcnamee. While out on the play ground he heard some kids making antigay remarks and he later learned that a same sex couple in his neighborhood couldn’t get married. These events inspired him to organize a rally in support of marriage equality. Now if you haven’t seen or heard the story you might be thinking “What can a 9 year old kid actually do for marriage equality?“

Ethan with the help of his teacher and some classmates who volunteered, made posters and signs and lined up speakers. Ethan even took the stage himself at the Colorado’s state capitol. The article even covered provided a quote from the Ethan gave reporters, “Everybody is different in a good way.”
I applaud Ethan and his ability to stand up for what he believes in by finding a way to get involved. Ethan is a shining example to not only his peer group but to all generations. Big hearts really can come in small packages!
