12-Year-Old Boy With Two Moms Asks That North Carolina Acknowledge His Family
Same-sex marriage is already illegal in North Carolina, but Amendment One seeks to weed out the few remaining legal protections for same-sex couples by not acknowledging their union in any legal context.
Isak’s meditation on Love=Love puts you right in the center of his family portrait, in which the security he enjoys with his two mothers and sister would suddenly be threatened should Amendment One pass. You see the young man on the street protesting the law with red cheeks as he reflects on what he thinks love and family is truly about.
His voice and activism are a valuable part of the discussion surrounding this hazardous amendment that poses a severe threat to so many families and children.
