Evann Orleck-Jetter testified at the public hearings on gay marriage last month before Vermonts Joint Senate and House Judiciary Committees. Many legislators later told Evann and her parents that her testimony had moved them to support the bill.

Those two moms seem to have raised a very intelligent young lady.

@bsgoalie101 what about the numerous children being exploited by the yes on prop h8 side?

I suppose that's ok

[sam123218]

are you serious right now?

this "poor kid" is actually my cousin, and and she's the smartest 14 year old girl I've ever seen. she's not a puppet she wrote everything she said herself so maybe you should read up on the facts before you make idiotic comments about someone you dont know

@Y2Krashman zzzzzz. same old rhetoric coming from y2k jelly. you need a little origninality to spice up your life. maybe tonight, you could be the man in your relationship.

@bsgoalie101

We can easily discern that you are a moron, when you make poor observations such as the one illustrated in your comment above. The child is not only brighter, but vastly smarter than you; her only concern is the unity of her family. I'm sure you'd rather see her kidnapped and foisted into a foster care system, of course. However, this child genuinely wants her family to be a family and recognized as such.

You, I'm sure, would like to tear apart such a unity with religious hate

@Y2Krashman This child has been manipulated. Forced to read from cue card. She is as articulate as the writer of the cue cards allowed her to be. Forced to believe a lie, that homosexuality is a normative lifestyle, with God's many blessings. I guess that you, Jelly, enjoy spreading those lies.

We're not servants of god, it's clear, god said the Earth was to pass 1900 years ago.

Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Luke 21:25-33 NAB)

Earth did not pass away. We are still here. Therefore, the Jesus/God notion is a primitive fraud, that the ignorant still buy into.

We only have one life, and we should only care about the living.

[Y2Krashman]

This child is a leader. In fact I shouldn't even refer to her as a child, her articulation and wisdom of character supersedes the limitations of most adults.

@Tokorai I'm not sure where you were headed with this, but thankful that you're done.
