Sophie Speaks

This is an excerpt from a brief interview I did with my niece, Sophie, over the holidays in December, 2011. In August of 2010, my little sister Vanessa married her girlfriend Alaine, who happened to be my best friend. Sophie is Alaine's daughter, and she is an amazing example of what growing up in a non-nuclear family can produce.

Seriously, though...isn't she the most beautiful girl in the world??

hopefully her narrow minded best friend's parents won't be able to keep them apart when they get a little older... True friendships don't die, but just evolve.

She's the definition of beauty. My goodness.

This is exactly an example of what happened in the 20th century. Similar, if not exactly alike with feminism and equal rights of blacks.

People will realize soon enough that homosexuality exists in nature such as in mammals, reptiles and even plants alike..

Just throwing my thoughts, ignorant people are just.. stupid..

Her best friends' parents reaction is so sad, but shows that there's still plenty of room for improvement... makes me wonder how her former friend felt about what her parenst forced upon her.

I really enjoyed this video after reading your article. Sophie seems like a very sophisticated young woman who is a great voice for showing how well same sex families can function. Kudos to her. :)

Awuh that's so sad about her best friend. It's heartbreaking that sometimes kids have to suffer because of close minded parents. And she is a very beautiful girl!
