Here is a terrific video of my young hero Will Phillips, the Arkansas elementary school student who last year took a stand and refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in class. Will believes that until gays and lesbians receive the same rights and recognition as heterosexuals in this country, the phrase “liberty and justice for all” is just a farce and he refuses to be a part of it.
Phillips was speaking at the Big Commit Sunday in Washington DC, a counter-rally to the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage’s wrap up of its “Summer for Marriage” tour. (Hat tip to Republic of Gilead.)
