As you know, the Supreme Court decision
-
on Friday in favor of same-sex marriage is 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 heads around something like this.
-
So went out into the street 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 when 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
-
You don't know anything about it?
-
Why would anyone want to get married?
-
Umm. Because they love each other, and they just feel a connection really.
-
Do you think it's a good thing?
-
Yeah
-
Do you know what makes somebody gay?
-
Yea
-
What?
-
I got broken leg.

When should two people get married?
-
In after 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 a 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.
-
Ohh you're right. Do you think it'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.

Yes.

When I'm thirty.

Why would somebody want to get married?

Where a boy marries another boy.

Okay. And could it be when a girl meets or marries another girl?

No.
-
Just a boy meeting another boy? Yeah.
-
Uh, what would it be called if a girl married another girl.

Lesbianism [laughter]

Do you think anybody should be able to get married if they want to?
-
Yes
-
How come?
-
Well, because if they want to, they should be able to

Would you want to get married?

Umm. Not really. [laughter]
