as you know the
uh supreme court decision on friday in
favor of same-sex marriage it's
controversial some people just don't
like it they don't believe in it they
don't think it's right one of the most
common arguments you hear is how do i
explain this to my kids and it's a good
question at the very least it's a fair
question you wonder if children are
sophisticated enough to wrap their head
around something like this so we went
out on the street today to ask kids what
they think and what they know and here
they are kids share their thoughts on
same-sex marriage could you tell me what
gay marriage is
um it's once
two men and
two women get married
so is it when four people get married
no
could you tell us what gay marriage is
i know nothing about that yet you don't
know anything about it why would anyone
want to get married um
because they love each other and they
just feel a connection
do you think it's a good thing
yeah
do you know what makes somebody gay yeah
what
i got broken leg
no when should two people get married
and at the afternoon
that's a good time to get married
do you know what marriage is yes what is
it
it's when a husband and wife get married
so what do you think gay marriage is
when a boy and a boy get married and a
girl and a girl get married oh you're
right do you think that's very hard to
understand
for some kids
but not for you no not really
do you think anybody should be able to
get married
if you're old enough oh you're
very wise
uh do you want to get married
yes when
when i'm 30.
why would someone want to get married
uh because they're pregnant
because they're pregnant could you tell
us what gay marriage is
um
where a boy marries another boy
okay and could it be when a girl meets
or marries another girl
um no
just a boy meeting another boy yeah well
what would it be called if a girl
married another girl lesbianism
do you think anybody should be able to
get married if they want to
yes
uh how come
well because if they want to they should
be able to
would you want to get married
um not really
how come
because um when you get married um
the other person is entitled entitled to
any money um the other person has so
