Robin and Robyn say "No on Prop. 8"

3 November 2008, 4:10 pm 2 Comments

A few of us got really annoyed by the video we posted last week where a Massachusetts couple shared the story of their shock when their son was read a book about two princes falling in love and getting married in school. Their take was that, despite maybe being tolerant of gay marriage, they didn’t want their 7 year-old learning about it via a children’s book.

We decided we’d make a video response, turning the tables and asking people to realize that straight marriage and heterosexuality is omni-present in our culture, our lives and our schools. And that there’s nothing wrong with a little queerness creeping in into our lives, even the lives of our children.

The video above features Summer Camp (Shea Van Horn), Jax Baker and myself. Thanks to Zack for providing some creative direction as well as a brief cameo.
