I am disgusted by this cowardly act that the parents / guardian / whatever of this child forced him to do. This kid is too young to be an “activist” for the LGBT community. shit, the kid doesnt even understand sexuality yet, let alone what LGBT is even about. Parents like this are no different than the Phelps family using church children during their protests.

Children need to discover their own values and ideals and not be coerced into “standing up” to politicians like this because mommy and daddy told them to. Let kids find out what they believe in first.

You ever see the baby preacher video?

Sex sells, cute kids sell.

Money makes the world go round.
