This is so beautiful, honest, articulate and clearly, heartfelt! My goodness, you have grownup into such a beautiful young woman! Congrats on making this happen and for "spreading the love"!
"They even got married by a rabbi, isn't that cool, we're not even Jewish!" No, that's not cool. It's kinda phony. Why would a spiritual leader waste his time on a ceremony that has no religious worth? They may as well have got 'married' by a freshly graduated philosophy major or a sagely bartender.
im sorry for this lost, i know it meant alot for your family, change will come, it was only a 4% difference, so have hope change in enevidible.....god bless.
My partner and I (after 14 years) just got married on Saturday 10/11/08. We had a full musical that ended with a wedding ceremony! Original songs with straight and gay couples involved. It was the most amazing and beautiful day in my life. Thank you for helping us keep it legal. Thanks for posting such a generous gift to all of us!
Carrie, you did a great job in this video. You should be very proud of yourself for being so articulate about this subject and standing up for your dad and stepdad. I have met your dad, and he's wonderful and talented. If I was still a California resident, I would vote against Prop. 8, but I'm in Las Vegas, NV now. Good luck!
We need to speak up for gay parents everywhere, and show the people who want to "protect families" by voting yes just how many families they are ripping apart.
Someday, our parents will be treated equally. Please keep spreading the message to everyone you can. Thankfully, I am of voting age, and I will think of you when I do.
this young woman is one of the many people that will be crushed if prop 8 passes. for all of you supporting prop 8, how does it make you feel knowing youre going to destroy not only a couple, but an entire family just because your religion tells you to?
have fun knowing you destroyed families all over our great state.
Well done Carrie! I'm a fan of Del's & now of YOU! You presented this vital issue in such an articulate and honest manner. Kudos to you for TAKING ACTION even though you can't vote! You are becoming a life long leader for your own beliefs - BRAVA! I hope we all get treated equally soon. Let's hope this whole issue is "history in the making." Change can happen in a lifetime, & it's time NOW! Thanks! It's "NO ON 8" - & I'm spreading the word everywhere! ...And you Go, girl!
What a smart young lady. This would be a better country if our youth would get more involved and take stand about issues that are important to them. She may be too young to vote but she is part of the future. You GO Carrie Shores!
You made me cry! You have not idea what this mean people that are being discriminated! You make the world a better place and WE thank you for your support! Please VOTE NO ON PROP 8!!!
I think its ridiculously that other countries can even accept it and see it as normal and yet, our country is still being ignorant and closed minded. America is suppose to be the freest country in the world, but in my opinion banning gay marriage is beyond unconstitutional. I am hoping for this video to make at least a dent=] Things need to change here...they really do.
I have never committed on any video here ever, but watching this I couldn't not say something. Carrie I really admire what you have done here, I sincerely hope people will listen and vote NO! I live in Australia so cannot vote, but I will be praying for your dad and stepdad and all gay people that they don't take away this one right which all people should be entitled to.
I wanna get married to my boyfriend. I will vote NO ON 8!!!!! Thank you! ALSO...Watch my cartoon "FAMILY GUAPO" about ME being in the closet as a child, with my crazy Colombian catholic family's torment. It's shocking and amazing and right up your ally!
WOW! What a beautiful girl, beautiful words and most of all, beautiful sentiment. For people to think they have the right to "ban" a union/marriage between anyone is beyond me and I think those that want to ban gay marriage must be miserable human beings with nothing else to do in life but to try and dictate the lives of others. Thank you Carrie for such a wonderful message. I hope everyone gets a chance to see your video.
Great video, it's good for people to see that marriage bans affect real people and real families. And for those in Florida (like me), vote NO on prop 2.
I still cannot tell you ho blown away I am with the responds to this video! I am so glad I have so much support and this subject has so much support. It makes me feel amazing to be making a difference!
Keep spreading the word around so we can get the message out to as many people as we can!
Well let them have a look at you baby ;) A very smart and mature 15 year old Lady. Clearly someone made sure that you were brought up in a loving, nurturing way! Spread the love honey. We love you right back :) Being Gay here in Denmark is concidered normal luckily. Most Europeans find it strange that you still struggle with such a "stupid" issue. I sincerely hope that you will get there soon, although it looks like you are in for a battle.
Caroline...you probably don't remember me but I am INCREDIBLY proud of you. You have grown up to be a beautiful girl...and an amazing person! Thanks for taking a stand!
Carrie: I've met your Dads. Spent Easter at their home a couple of years ago. My partner and I are getting married on Oct. 12. How proud they must be by your support. I know I am! Perhaps we'll meet one day.
Carrie, you are so mature for your age. These bigots who wrote and support Prop 8 can learn a lot from you about respect for the rights of ones fellow human beings. The history of the world is full of examples of man's inhumanity to man. These so-called religious people just disgust me. Regards to your step dad, dad, and your grandparents Rosemary and Newell. I will always be in the audience when they perform, and they all have much reason to be very proud of you. Stuart Lubin
I wish I still lived in California so that I could lend my vote to the defeat of this hateful legislation. Massachusetts and Canada are proof positive that the institution of marriage is not threatened by persons of the same sex forming families legally. Caroline, you should be so proud of yourself for lending your articulate voice to this fight.
Wow, how proud your dad must be of you. It's so great to see so many of our next generation finally "getting it". Let's hope this is just the start of what the U.S. is supposedly all about: freedom for all.
You are a natural Carrie... i live in Arizona and am unable to vote there, but i will actually be in california on election day at the Madonna Concert in San Diego... its my Birthday!!! And if i could vote... i believe you would know... i'd vote NO...
just wanted to send my support, equality all the way baby!!!
Hi Carrie! I have known you Dad for about 9+ years now and this video is amazing. I can see why your Dad and Step-Dad are so proud of you. The world we live in isn't always a good one but families like yours are why I keep holding out hope that everyday there is more hope that our world is getting a little bit better. Say Hi to your Dads for me.
Thank you Carrie for all you did for the overturn for Prop 8. Congratulations of the August 4,2010 overturn!!!!
