Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old University of Iowa student spoke about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls has two mothers, and came to oppose House Joint Resolution 6 which would end civil unions in Iowa.

The fight to to keep marriage equality in Iowa continues, help us support Iowans like Zach.

Absolutely no one can say to this kid- "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny". Alas - the worst insult they could possibly throw at him is "You're incredibly well spoken, handsome and your mothers brought you up with an impeccable sense of taste!"
