Oh gawd give me a break. I mean I'm gay too and I want marriage equality as well, but crying? Really? -_-

What a powerful testimony from a very strong girl! Good job, dads! Hopefully NJ will wake up, vote for marriage equality, and this girl and her family get their wish.

CRYING D:

I hope you get your wish Madison.

I sometimes attend a progressive church in NJ where everyone is welcome. Two gay dads also attend that have a pair of adorable twin daughters who were born via surrogacy with the help of one of the mens' sister. (She didn’t provide the gestational egg but agreed to carry the babies.) After the babies were born the sister who previously identified as lesbian were turned against the fathers by their born-again mother and has been successful in trying to get at least partial custody of the twin girls. These men have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees trying to get their rights as parents. My heart breaks for them as it does for this young woman in this video. I hope and pray that NJ does the right thing.

I have to say, while I love Madison Galluccio, can we stop with the “Brb, crying” comments? They translate to “My emotions matter more than whatever I'm posting”.

Thanks Buzzfeed for the knot in my throat

Her speech is beautiful, but the proud look on her father's face is priceless!

I think theres some dust in my eye or something… *sobbing hysterically* I'm cool. Don't worry.
