Congratulations to Spencer and his family! He is a very impressive young man who does enormous credit to his loving parents and siblings.

[Some Teacher]

Spencer is a wonderful representative of his family. Yes, normal. Also exceptional Americans.

[John Kent]

I was responding to a negative comment made about this video, I was in no way arguing against it. I think this video is great. :)

[Brian Balduzzi]

I'm excited to direct a production of this play in Boston, and I play Spencer too!

[Noah Pyzik]

so am I :)

[jmaffett333]

AMEN! Yay youth governors. I probs met you at CONA if you went this past summer

[ilybroadway]

there a play called "8" based on this trial and im proud to say im playing Spencer in the production:)

[Tey Hoskins]

Hey dude Spencer Perry is my friend i actually just left DC with him and let me tell you he was not forced to do this. This is something he and alot of us youth Governors believe in and just because you dont agree does not give you the right to make assumptions about those who you do not know

[Abby Hanneman]

NO ONE forced him to do this. Just because you're not a legal adult doesn't mean you can't speak out for something you believe in.

[John Kent]

I see, so when something goes in their favor... they're not actually happy about it. So they force... what, a teenager into speaking about it? And gay marriage equality is a non profit organization? Buddy, forgive me, but what the FUCK are you talking about. Which side of the medal fell on your head?

[okoinfokus]

No! This is pure populism for someone's political purpose. You're preaching to the choir here ;) You know nothing about non-profits and how an organization is run. Every medal has two sides. ;)

[John Kent]

He's showing his love for his family and defending their rights to be treated as human beings. He's standing up against the simple minded bigotry and prejudice and evil that plagues the US. This isn't 1939 Berlin, this is the United States of America were all SHOULD be treated equally and with dignity. Good for this young man for showing the courage that most much older than he severely lacks.
