10-Year-Old Refuses to Pledge Allegiance Until Gays and Lesbians Have Equal Rights

[AustralianHPfan]

brave little kid

[Machelpsful]

Wow that is a smart kid??

[spudicous]

You don't have to, we just love America that much

[NikkiRayy96]

dude...this kid is smarter than me. he used words i dont know the meaning of. and im in freaking high school!! but...HES AWESOME!!!

[dana123xena]

very bright child

[flash250473]

Oh yeah i love this kid, lets hope he runs for office :-)

[NightSurfer47]

I just don't understand how someone can be gay yet not be able to smoke marijuana or ingest LSD.

[skarballs]

lol noob whats a gaywad

[skarballs]

that little kid is the...MAN

[Savee0]

this boy uses words that blow me away, he is intellegent and supports a good cause

[zuquanewell]

hahaha his shirt says 'nerds 2-squared forever'. me and him would be firends

[Ladygagasg24]

not that i think in order to stand up for gay and lesbians you have to have some sort of disorder. i am a lesbian as well

[jonathon4901]

@Ladygagasg24 dumbos are lesibeans

[Ladygagasg24]

i am not in any way trying to offend people with autism or any relation to autistic people, but am i the only one thinking this kid may have Asperger's or autism?

[skarballs]

@Ladygagasg24 hes probably just nervous

[heartsforcats]

Good for him :)

[verdibahnsen]

looks like harry potter

[Allahismybitch69]

This little faggot should be gay bashed everyday until he kills himself.

[hedgehogfrenzy1]

@Allahismybitch69 oh shutup :P

[Ladygagasg24]

@Allahismybitch69 fuck you

[McDjB1]

@Allahismybitch69 lol you're retarded! What has the kid done to upset you? To stand up for equality is the most patriotic act I have witnessed.

[jfalconi3]

before you read my comment, know that i agree with a lot of what he says. but.... do you guys think that his dad may have manipulated him a bit? i mean, watch the look on his face as the interview goes on. i dont think this kid learned all this on his own. he's a little young to know what gay, lesbian, racism, sexism means. thats why children are increasingly tolerant of diversity; they are ignorant to those things and become accustomed to them. just my thought

[NikkiRayy96]

@jfalconi3 not to be offensive, but i knew what gay, lesbian, racism, and sexism meant in the first and second grade. but i do think his dad helped him with the meaning of some words.

[topdawg732]

he probubly doesnt even know gay people

[pgwarevt]

You go kid... Standing up for peoples rights, is what America is all about.

[mswritergirl1]

wow. hes got like a huge vocabulary! lol smart kid(:

[1996lesbiangirl]

Wow I like this little kid standing up for the Gay community!! (Man that means also that he is standing up for me ;D )

He is so much smarter than most of the people in the world!

Can somebody tell him he is my hero?!

[KickerChannel]

I know this kid! My friend mac is his best friend.

[jblover7771]

wow this kid is smart and nice wow i cant belive he did that most kid giggle at the word gay and dont know the word lesbian

[summnd]

What a bright child! He's extremely intelligent & has a great head on his shoulders, I hope he makes it through his teen years & has a great life ahead :)

[rocktigerz123]

Awwww Hes so cute, And I mean at 10!? A Lawyer!? My brothers 12 and he doesnt know what to do when he grows up.

People need to be nice to this future Activist and World Changer.

Thank You, Young Boy.

[taylorswiftrox59]

What a smart little activist! Most kids at 10 are giggling about the word gay and he's standing up against that fact. I give him a lot of credit. Way to go, Will!

[0600904]

Its Adam and Eve my friend, not Adam and Steve.

[GD3dguy]

@0600904 what you just said rymes so it must be true... NOT!

[0600904]

@GD3dguy The fact that you brought out the rhyming portion is utterly pathetic. If you were smart and read The Holy Bible (I'm Christian) you would know he "kick'd em' outa Sodom." Sodom was a town full of Homosexual men and woman! God clearly kicked them out for some reason? I wonder what reason that was! Oh yea! Gay is not the way! Oh look at that another rhyme! What a crime! You better call me out for that too! Think before you speak.

[GD3dguy]

@0600904 by the look of your username i'm guessing your a TROLL... So i;m not going to waste my time with you... good bye now

[0600904]

@GD3dguy I'll use the term pathetic again because you completely changed the subject. You had nothing on what I said that's that. Goodbye. Once again, think before you act.

[GD3dguy]

@0600904 damn i fell for your trolling-ness once again... But the only reason i do not wish to ecknowledge this subject is because thier are hundreds of youtube videos that can prove your religion wrong... while your argument is "Because the bible says so."

[0600904]

@GD3dguy And I suppose you do not believe in The Holy Bible's teachings? The fact that makes me laugh is our country was formed and based on Christianity for the most part. You are not going to look at this subject because you've seen "hundreds of youtube videos" saying other wise? That's just sad my friend. Those videos were most likely made by a bunch of Atheist simpletons who feel we all formed as humans from monkeys, and we will turn into an animal after we die, not going to heaven or hell.

[GD3dguy]

@0600904 umm i could just PWN u right her but not goin to waste my time... so please dont reply. and

STFU!

KTHXBYE!

[0600904]

@GD3dguy .......

[AteistiSrbije]

@GD3dguy: DFTT dude... just mark his crap as spam and move on... it's pointless...

[Wussupworld]

Look u assholes may not have known wut gay marriage wuz when u were 10 but I did and tht wuz only 3 years ago this kid skipped 4th grade so he's obviously extremely smart ok when my neighbor wuz 10 she went to a gay pride parade and yeah ur allowed to get married if ur gay in some states but it should be legal in all states and straight guys u can't say u hate gays when u love it when girls kiss I would kno I'm a straight guy. Hating gays is just like racism u should go to hell for it

[liberatethelemons]

This kid is SHARP. He did the right thing.

[braxtonwolff]

kool kid!

[mastervictor123]

That kid is the best :)

[vladimirrrkasi666]

this boy will not live for long))with these ideas))

[tmm83093]

Its obvious the kid is speaking for his father,Otherwise his father wouldnt continue to look at him thinking "Now remeber what we talked about to say". And shaking his head. Im a homosexual myself. But I understand why I dont have certain rights,And I will walk quitley and patrioticly throughout the rest of my life without a problem. Grow the fuck up people

[ighforever]

wow talk about mind control of this kid. He repeats what he doesnt understand nor should be taught in school. How much of this did he get from his dad and mom? He doesnt understand this, he talks about it.

Well ok then if he wont Pledge to his Country to fight for it or be honest or have integrity. Then he cant go to school. His citizenship will be revoked after 90 days, and he must relocate to another country. His agenda is not more important than keeping this country intact.

[tictixtiv]

that kid is very smart I wish more people Kids like this then the world would be better he's heading for sucess!

[ZaraMikazuki]

That kid is so awesome! And so smart too!

Oh yeah, and for those commenting on his age, when I was 10 years old, I saw inequality in the world. I just didn't say anything about it, because I didn't think there was anything I could do about it. So not only is this kid sharp, but he's also got the guts to actuallydo something about it.

And yes, I knew about the gays and lesbians when I was 10. And no, my parents were very strict, conservative, traditional Hindus who'd moved from India.

[tanner21100]

its  weird

[xMeyyMeyy123x]

Most of the people in high school dont even say the pledge anyway. lol

[mastervictor123]

@xMeyyMeyy123x Tru Tru LOL But they all have to stand up LOL

[mdmgk5]

oh btw, now i only stand. i don't put my hand on my heart at all, i just stand there looking blankly at the flag. hehe :D

[mdmgk5]

he's damn SMART. when i was ten i laughed at the word "Gay." and here he is talking about it so calmly. lol my hero XD

[PunkHeart677]

This kid is awesome, he's smarter than most adults. I'm with him, I haven't said the pledge in like 3 years.

to the dumb asses commenting, dissing the kid: are you smarter than a 5th grader? I think not.

[imekapoios]

i love this guy

[carmenfrances2010]

This 10 year old is smarter than a lot of adults, including some of the commenters here!

[topdawg732]

@carmenfrances2010 he did this because hes probubly gay

[Homochild]

@topdawg732 you don't have to be gay to stand up for them, i am nto my friends but i stand up for them

[Allahismybitch69]

@Homochild I bet you bend over for them too... faggot.

[Homochild]

@Allahismybitch69 What is your problem with gay people? You seem a little too upset/angry with me over what reason?

[MsJccraig]

You are all real jerks you know that! What this kid is doing is great. And I just don't understand why it is such a big deal! Just stay out of other peoples buisness, it's what they want for themselves, not what you want for them!

[ESIANDude]

he is a gay wod

[shady7bc]

i'm just glad SOMEBODY called this kid a gay wod

[AdisonFever]

Wow! I'm impressed! If only more adults thought that way too!

[toyzyibz]

Am i REALLY watching CNN here??? Cos this seems MORE like THE ONION news to me!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!

[mindstormmaster]

He's 10!? He'll be a good lawyer.

[SpeedyAndBubbles]

honestly, i think that gays and lesbians shouldnt be married at all. it is so immoral. god put adam and eve on this earth to spread life. he didnt put a man and a man or a woman and a woman to spread HIV/AIDS, uncleanliness, immorality, and strife.

[grant11102]

SpeedyAndBubbles

If you think that then leave America, you clearly don't like the views on freedom that we uphold in our country and frankly if your opinion is based on religion mayby you should check up on some of the other things your bible says like a fucking man living in a whale for days or that witches and wizards are real.

Also If you believe in every word of creation then you Deny the existence of dinosaurs.And that's just illogical.

READ SCIENCE TEXTS BOOKS INSTEAD OF RELIGIOUS BOOKS

[Reincarnationoflink]

HIV is most prevalent among straight black women today actually. Just a-sayin' *shrug*

You miss the point entirely. civil marriage has nothing to do with religious marriage, thus, gay marriage does not affect your marriage in any way. So, why are you against something that has nothing to do with you?

[LeagueOfMars]

Yeah, I mean HIV/AIDS isn't spread by straight couples either.

You're pretty fucking stupid.

[yendor123abc]

u are so right speedy. i wish these liberals could see it. i say we kill them all and let god sort out the rest.

[telepylus111]

sick

Malice Synonyms:

[dasdew2]

not everyone has rights but we all have freedom. even illigle alians can make money in this country. it dosent matter if gays cant get married they can still live togheter. and dont be ashamed of people calling you gay because they call me a fuking terrorist. IM MEXICAN and only sixteen. they also call me gay but i know its moraly wrong.unfortunatly we cant help it for some sins but that dosent make them right. please reply.

[LeagueOfMars]

Everybody has rights, you fool.

[poopyscoopy5]

Yes, more gays. Less man made "uncureable" viruses. Less wars created for the sole purpose of population control. Every gay couple represents 2 or so people who won't have to die horrible and painful deaths in the name of population control.

[xNeverxShoutxNeverx3]

Amen. This kid is brilliant and America needs more children like this.

[WAHOOUPS]

I think i could beat this kid up.... i think... it would be a good fight. We would both be hurt and crying.. it may take 2 hours...but i think i would win with my limpwristed slap.

[Reincarnationoflink]

I agree that this kid doesn't know what he's talking about, but I won't say his heart isn't in the right place. He's not doing this to just get attention, he simply heard about an injustice that affects people he knows, and he's fighting it in any way he knows how to. But he's ten years old! There isn't much he can do other than gather attention and make other people aware of the problem. What else do you expect a kid to do? I give him brownie points for at least trying.

[tygersflowerz]

Well he's smarter than you.

[Reincarnationoflink]

But at least I can back up my beliefs with a legit argument. This kid can't. Why? Because he's ten years old! He probably doesn't even know what DOMA is, or how it violates gay rights. But what's remarkable isn't this kid's knowledge of the issue, which is non-existent, but the fact even a ten year old can grasp that gays are getting a raw deal and he's calling the government out on their bullshit. If he can figure this out with the little knowledge he has, then what's congress's problem?

[NailI3unny]

....what's a gaywad?

[VioletSable]

you.are.amazing. keep speaking up, little dude!

[oxxtm]

awesome.

[ThankYouAndHello]

GO jump off a cliff.

You may have begun the process of opening your mouth at 17, he is doing it at 10. What is the big deal, he is hardly a duche.

He has a certain luxury, sure but at least he is using it to ask America in some small measure to adhere to her principles.

The media not focusing on the wankers is due to the prism that is the cause and effect of coporate greed.

Its a capitalist society, where workers are fodder, where rights are earnt not won, so why would a media source care?

[Albanianwarrior23]

There is nothing smart with this kid, or his father, there are many more important things going on then worrying about gay and marriage, like people loosing this home's and jobs, forget gay crap..

This kid should be out playing with his freinds instead he's been brainwashed.

[lively7dead89]

Oh my god there are so many ill minded comments on this video.

Why don't some of you just say what your thinking? "oh no new ideas are scary! especially when they're right!"

A ten year old knows what's right better than you do, And that gets your panties up in a bunch.

[cokeaddict08]

what kind of country makes their children pledge allegiance to the flag?! this is disgusting. thank god there are some intelligent people in america, and hopefully people like this kid will save america from destroying itself, something it has been doing for a while now. this is society stripped of its surface, and through the eyes of a ten year old boy, we can all see that there is so much hatred and discrimination in the world, even in the almighty USA...

[CrimsonEagleSG1]

I've never been forced to pledge allegiance to the flag. The only pledge I was forced to make, was my oath enlistment.

[Albanianwarrior23]

When I was 10 I never knew what the hell gays where. much less to talk about marriage, yes their is alot of sexism in the world, and its mostly in countries like africa, latin america. middle

gays would be hanged in almost any other part of the world outside us and europe,

[Albanianwarrior23]

10 year old don't think about stupid things like gay marraige, unless an adult is brainwasing them, like we see here by his sick father, normal 10 year olds are playing sports and have fun with their friends, this kid is missing out on his chilshood, instead he talks about issues he knows nothing about.

His father should be jailed.

[lively7dead89]

@Albanianwarrior23 This kid is obviously smarter than you.

[ThankYouAndHello]

That is slightly foolish, maybe he was brainwashed by watching the news-shall we bar all news services?

It takes a child to speak the truth the rest of us are too busy trying to stay afloat.

It isn't a crime to inform your child of double standards. To educate a child to not stand for moral hypocrisy and religious inferiority.

[0qaz77]

You guys make 10 year old children pledge allegiance to your flag? fuck your country is a cult

[dieselfreak19]

this is retarted. He has no idea what he is talking about. yeah gays aren't fully allowed equal rights. But they are allowed marriage in some states. This kid needs to no that our soldiers ( like my father) is over seas fighting for this flag. This kid needs to watch what the pledge means word for word. Red skeleton Pledge of alegiance. Then he needs to ask himself what it really means

[EqualAndFree]

Splurge24 - not all the soldiers are "overseas fighting for the flag". The gay soldiers are not allowed to go. In the military of EVERY nation in the western world gay people are treated equally - except in Turkey, Greece and the USA. It makes you wonder what that flag really stands for - doesn't it?

[CrimsonEagleSG1]

The gay troops actually get kicked out. And until all straight people are treated equally, gays will be treated equally or more bad than regular people.

[coolmasn]

Im not gay, but this kid is real smart. I'll still stand up to pledge the flag, but this kid knows what he's saying!

[Albanianwarrior23]

Here is a child being used by his evil father, 10 year old kids never think about issues like gay marriages, unless brainwashed by someone much older like his stupid ugly father hillybilly father.

Obama opposes gay marriages.

[vegetablesoupify]

I remember being a 10 year old and I KNEW what was fair. He may not understand bedroom issues, but he knows that certain people treat him well who are gay are treated by the same people who say we're equal. What are you stupid? You're obviously not much of a lateral thinker. Obama has already announced benefits for gay partners of Federal employees. Obama doesn't like to call it marriage, but "civil union".

[hammerman987]

other countries hang you for protesting so be damn glad you have that flag faggot

[hammerman987]

dont forget to tell your students that we only have the right to protest because of that flag!!! love it or leave it asshole

[TimothyPray1]

I will be showing this clip to my high school government classes.  What an amazing kid. There are a lot of parents out there who are really getting it right. Will Phillips and his father are great citizens of the Republic!

[xenophile84]

(Those were for Albanianwarrior and chadmak)

[Albanianwarrior23]

This kids father is abusing his child, no 10 year old thinks about gay marriage, his father should be arrested for child abuse, sick fking shit.

[vegetablesoupify]

What's wrong about thinking all people should have equal rights? He's 10 not mentally disabled.

[xenophile84]

You're an idiot. Maybe you had no idea what was going on in the world when you were 10, but that doesn't mean that's the case for everyone. There's no evidence anywhere that his dad is abusing him, so you are stupid to even say that.

[aftan1982]

That's really stupid. My son is 5 yrs old and is VERY smart. I think it's good to not hide things from children but let them see and teach them. I hope that at 10 my son can find out what he believes in and stand up for it.

[dancebrowngirl411]

I like this kid.

[79Sarwar]

So you like this kid because he likes gays right?

R u gay?

[aftan1982]

he sits alone jackin off w/some lotion and a tube sock. Give me a break dude. I wouldn't be surprised if u even did it to gay porn. As a lesbian woman, I've seen men like u poke their chest out and bash the gay ppl when behind it all its a hard cover up to admitting ur a faggot. get real dude.

[chadmak09]

@aftan

your comments are very bigoted.

U verbally attack anyone who holds a different belief or opinion than you do.

Thats bigotry. how long have you behaved in such a hateful way toward others just because they disagree with your ideas?

Why attack people just because they dont agree with your views on gays being able to re-define american marriage?

The people have spoken time & time again. How about you respect democracy, or go live in russia where it is allowed to force ideology on people?

[xenophile84]

So, in a scenario where Person A tells Person B that B can't marry the person they love because it is against A's religious beliefs, Person A is NOT forcing their ideology on Person B???

[aftan1982]

Attacking? No1 is being attacked. It was said, "Fuck the gays". I am gay and have the right to defend myself on that note. I'm not going to say that he's wrong for how he feels. But there is a way to state how u feel w/o offending ppl.

[aftan1982]

I find is SO funny that America wants to use the bible and Christianity as a crutch. First of all, it does say that being gay is a sin. It also says in the bible to not Kill, JUDGE, Commit Adultery, Murder, Disobey your Mother/Father, should I continue? What does someones sexuality have to do w/what type of person they are? Just like this guy here. He says Fuck the gays bc it's a "deadly Sin" but I'm sure he stays up late at night googling free teen porno while

[79Sarwar]

You must be gay right?

[ziccibella]

is this another wannabe star? another "balloon boy"?

[79Sarwar]

If you've never read or heard of the Talmud then look it up.

You will be SHOCKED at what they practice.

And then remember that these guys control America. They are the same cult that killed Jesus and blamed it on the romans.

[79Sarwar]

Fuck the gays.

Any real Christians or Muslims will KNOW its one of the deadly sins.

Yet the zionist media will tell you its ok to be gay and you will beleive them even though you have read your bibles and know its wrong.

ASK YOURSELF:

Do you think a Christian allowed it to be ok to have same sex marriage? NO.

Maybe a Muslim? NO.

How about a Jew? Maybe.

The Jewish Talmud says its ok to have sex with 3 year olds and other gentiles. Thats sick. Jews are sick.

[Albanianwarrior23]

what values supprting men bending over other men, thats values ? it sick man, and the parents are mentally abusing their child with gay crap, man sticking penis into other men, is not normal...

Obama the liberal also opposes gay marraige, so i guess obama is also a bigot now ? haha u people crack me up.

[obamadidit2008]

what would you expect from aperson who lived in an oppressive country with a long time leader who was a cheap carbon copy of stalin enver hoxha

[vegetablesoupify]

Are you retarted? Racism =/= homosexual discrimination. It is a human right, that's the value. The idea that you think is "sick" makes me feel that's an issue with yourself and your sexuality. What adults do in the bedroom is none of your business. Gays and lesbians can DIE for our country, but we can't allow them the same benefits as other humans in out country? That's disgusting and you're a sick individual. The kid is learning something, he's learning about life and human rights injustices.

[Albanianwarrior23]

check out the father he might be into gay child porn, 10 year old don't think of gay marriages. the father brainwashed his son, its so so sick, kid go to school and learn something, and don't let your father use you to support evil behavior, like gay sex, its not normal, its beasty, satanic.

[darthcaedus666]

What a horribly ignorant statement.

[loonmaniac]

"Liberty and justice for all" is a fallacy which must be addressed.

[xtoturnwithinx]

Good on ya, kid! Way to go.

And, Chadmak, you're a fucking bigot. Shut up.

[chadmak09]

This kids parents are known gay rights activists and have been in gay agenda marches/rallys in the past.

After maine voted no to gay agendas, this was a way for them to distract.

The parents encouraged the kid to do this and were waiting to call the media as soon as he did it.

Parents who use their children to push political agendas are very sad people.

This is exactly like the balloon boy crap.

Except this was to push gay agendas back into the media eye.

and some are praising this crap?

[obamadidit2008]

chadmak, your sort are going to die out eventually

[sunshineplurr]

the kid will grow up and be proud of his parents for instilling those values in him.

what the fuck's wrong with that?

[chadmak09]

nothings wrong with parents instilling whatever values they want into kids.

Even if it is gay agendas.

But the line needs to be drawn when parents get their kids to push those agendas in our schools.

Kids came to learn, not to hear gay propaganda preached by the son of gay rights activists.

The child should be suspended for telling his teacher to commit suicide. All other kids would have been. but the school is scared of gay retaliation so they cannot punish this kid fairly and accordingly.

[TheLucidDreamer13]

My hat goes off to this kid, I wish there were more people (kids and adults alike) who thought like him/shared his level of intelligence.

[MrNDSteinbach]

His shirt said Nerds 2^2 Ever. That was funny and cool. It's the nerds that grow up to be bosses to the so called popular people during the school years...

[ashleyAsparkes]

this kid is the best!

[pivotal]

I think this kid is amazing, and I think this father is amazing for sitting down with his child, and discussing what happened in school that day. I'm glad to see a supportive parent.

[LivinChelsea]

Yeah you go kid!!!

[acmecuffs]

I love this kid!!!!

[xxLynnaaaxx]

daaaaamn future politician??

[MrNDSteinbach]

Future president?

[cyngirl]

wow is he only a little boy??? he talks like and thinks like an adult should. bravo!

[silkorkid]

I like the way the dad had to nudge him in the end. His parents did a great job with him.

[YoiBoi285]

strange how one kid sitting down can have more effect then a thousand protesters

[floorfight]

fuckin cool kid
