Kids react to Gay Marriage

 

 

 

Kids react to gay marriage proposals. It was interesting to see how the kids reacted to the proposals. The first proposal we see is an elaborate dance mob at a hardware store. At first the kids aren't sure what they are watching. Then we see family come out and the man standing on the ladder is happy. The last person to come out is a man holding a sign. Then he asks the guy standing on the ladder to marry him, they seal the deal with a kiss.

This little girls face says it all, you can tell she doesn't know what to think when she sees the men kissing. It might be the first time she has experienced it. I think her reaction is very normal and  fair for the circumstances. Later during the questioning section, she seems fine and doesn't think it is wrong for the same sex to be married.



The girl above was very confused by the video that she watched. She just keep saying "This is crazy!" Her reaction to the proposal was dramatic, she also said "a boy and a boy!" She was clearly very surprised and wasn't expecting to see two men together. Later during questioning she said that people should be with whom every they want.

 

The second clip was of a woman proposing to another woman. The one proposing was standing outside of the other woman's office on a bus holding up a sign. All of the kids were instantly worried about the woman's safety while standing on the bus, it appeared dangerous. But in the end the woman slides off the bus and runs to her fiancé, where they seal the deal with a kiss.

 This little guys reaction was the one I remembered most. During the first clip he kept asking if they were gay. During the second one he was singing along to the song and then said "Are they gay too?" He needed to make sure he knew. He didn't like the idea of gay marriage, he said marriage was for a boy and a girl. He also made it very clear that he was not gay.

This girl was very happy and excited for the couples. She thought that they were doing a good thing and she was happy for both couples. She said that we should be able to love who we want without limitations. The little girl thought that both couples were really cute and that they looked happy together.

 

It is interesting to see the reaction of children to the current gay marriage issues. Most of the kids that were interview thought that gay marriage is okay and they wish more people supported it. When they found out that only 14  states in the country support it, most of them were upset. This insight seems positive about our future generation. They seem ever excepting.
