From as long as I could remember I have always wanted to be a dad!! It is people like you who give me hope for my future!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!~
I found this emotional snapshot of your family very touching. I'm glad you are putting these videos out there to put real faces on what a family with gay parents can be.
BRAVO to you guys for posting these videos and giving us a glimpse of your lives. You are obviously courageous and loving people. I wish you all the best!!!
I love this and the classical music goes with it very well. Like always I am touched. Good job to the person who made it they sucessfully made an emotional montage.
You two are amazing, and your kids.. It makes me really warm inside knowing that you two share a love so strong. It reminds me of my girlfriend and I, we're in a ''Gay'' relationship right now too, and we hope to one day adopt two twin little girls.. c: It's nice to know there are others out there who feel the exact same way, same gender or not.
Keep making videos! I was emotionally touched by this montage. Your family is incredible: unity, bonding, and love. You all are a prime example of what a family should be!! Much love :-)
I am SURE that your videos on RU-vid have done more to educate people and fight homophobia and ignorance than any rally or demonstration could ever do... Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Loved this video.. so much love and so moving. I hope one day this will not be a right for which you have to fight for. God Bless You and your family for your strength. You have some very lucky kids .. and they have very lucky parents. I will pass this video on for sure. You guys have a very happy Holiday weekend. =D ~~~ Wendy
Just the fact that you all share such a deep connection as a family with 'adopted' children is powerful considering the number of terror adoption stories out there. The personal connection between you two makes it all the more powerful.
gosh.. i'm so glad i happened to watch your videos.. i know i'm late, n u guys already have many supporters.. any room for me?? :) love u guys, u guys r the perfect example of what a family supposed to be.. family doesnt need a man and a woman.. it needs two committed adults to make it work.. i dont understand why so many people r so prejudice to gay parents..well, it dont matter, i love u guys dearly, n wish u guys the very best in life.. hugs!!!!
I've never disagreed with same-sex adoption but I've always had concerns, watching your video went a long way to helping me iron out a few of my own prejudices. You look like a beautiful and loving family, and if your video portrays the reality of your family life then more heterosexual familys should take note, wish my parents treated me like that, thanks for the videos guys your great.
Yay Jedi made it into the video montage!He is the forgotten Leffew, the black sheep of the family they try to hide from the world. Like a disabled child in the 30s. What a year for you guys though! You are full of life, I love that.
My son (13) wants children and lights up when around little kids and babies. When he was younger, around 8, he would get upset if he didn't get kids to put in the back of his car while playing the game of " Life". This love and tenderness just makes me love him even more, if that's possible. Your children are blessed by your love!
Thx for this video! I always felt that we "LGBT people" should be like brothers and sisters in the fight for equality all around the world, I have the feeling that you agree. :) Best wishes from Sweden.
im sorry ,may be i will sound dumb ,but i cried like a baby watching it,it is so emotional,and so pure,at the same time sounfair :( wish i could give you all overe the ocean a huge hug in your endless war :( xxx
Keep it up! when I was a kid I had the white picket fence dream the only problem was I could not love a female no mater how much I tried. I always wanted kids. I gave up on love years ago to wait for a better day, I always thought would come in my lifetime. I came out in the Air Force after writing my lover and asking him to never write me again out of fear his letters could get me in jail. He never wrote back. It is hate not love that destroys love. The ones that feel so free to say real bad s
@M14Mann If you would have read what I put directly after, some weddings are religious ceremonies. Marriages are licensed by the state, not weddings. You want to prevent churches from being able to marry gay couples. If you think how marriage is currently defined has been that way for thousands of years, you are sadly mistaken. Do research, think, then comment. I'm glad you are in the minority. I'm glad they apply standards to practicing therapy, medicine, driving, buildings, etc.
This is a great video I have shared it on my facebook where i have alot of Family members and people I know who are against Gay Marriage and against Homosexuality all together I hope this might help open there eyes more I know they see me as an example and I could think of no ther people as good as an example of a real family as the Leffew family maybe your beautiful family will reach my family. :( That is my hope and Dream.
All children on earth need loving caring adults in their life that only seek to guide them on their true path to goodness. In return the children will be beautiful puzzles to figure out, that will share big hugs and make their parents proud as they learn the early lessons of life. How many str8 parents understand this? How many gay kids are left out to fend for themselves due to another's ignorance? How many adults that are married to someone of the opposite sex would abuse them? How does a 10
@associate39 ... and just how does it affect you? Does it keep you from getting married? Does it alter your marriage? Does it change how you're able eat, sleep, drink, breathe, etc...?
If gays want to adopt, good, let them. A survey of foster kids who never got adopted showed they overwhelmingly would have preferred to be adopted by a same-sex couple than have spent their lives bounced around "in the system." So I say, unless you've adopted EVERY SINGLE child you POSSIBLY can, just sit down, shut the fuck up, and mind your own family.
The attraction itself is not a choice, whether one acts on it or not is a different thing. Bestiality is not anything like being gay because bestiality involves abusing an animal; bringing harm to another living thing.
(continued)... and the whole "we can tell by body language" ordeal is a fallacy. We don't have the complete understanding in order to assert concent, jsut like a child, who may seem consensual, but due to lack of understanding of the issue at hand is still protected....
@donttouchmyfoupy15 Very true. Couples who can't have babies and choose adoption instead are really a positive thing. Not to mention that many straight couples are infertile, and I don't see any conservatives trying to make it illegal for them to marry.
why is it that people feel bad for gays who take advantage of people who feel sorry for them, but a hard working christian is called a moron and is public enemy number one. im sick of it.
wow... nice vid, do you think a 14 year old kid could go on a gay protest? or something cause i've been dying to go to one of those, and my parents are very supportive so they wouldn't mind. if so could you please let me know, thanks.
@M14Mann That's the same view racists held and I don't see that as being a popular opinion any longer. You can state you don't hate and you may even feel that is harsh language. You may feel more comfortable with "exteremely dislike." You state you do hate those that would use the state to deprive you of your liberties, but support liberties to be taken away from other citizens. I wish you loved freedom for all, instead of just yourself or groups you tend to like.
(continued)..... And no, pedophilia is not a sexual orientation. Child molestors don't rape children because they really love them, they do it because it is the abuse and the power trip of damaging a person, or the abuse of their inocence that attracts them. And that, is truly just messed up
@blattt188 ...And what about the gay children that because of your church's stance you neglect? The alarming number of children that come out of the closet to their parents seeking acceptance for who they are and help to cope with a cruel, hateful world, who instead are kicked out to live on the streets (here in Utah that happens soo much) and when left alone with no love, they take their own lives? You say that you care about the children and I believe you. Open your heart to all of them.
I somehow have a feeling that horse/woman sex doesn't happen because the woman chooses to. I would say (and I'll admit that this is speculation) that it happens because someone stands to make money from people wanting to watch the act, i.e. porn and live shows. Either way, I would think those involved would be charged with animal cruelty.
I have no problem with gay marriages the only thing is I don't want the government to force the church to marry gays in the church cuz that's not the governments business, separation of church and state. I also think that gays are totally capable of raising a child i mean love is love it dosent discriminate
@M14Mann I look forward to a world when bigots are ashamed of their dim-witted views. If you really think sodomy isn't normalized already, you truly are deprived of reality. Thankfully, oral sex is rampant in the hetero community. It's time for all people to stand for equality. I proudly support all people to express their love no matter how much it offends homophobes. In due time, you and your hatred will be in the minority.
The government is not telling you who you can love. Love who u want... They gave u the civil union... Y do u want the word marriage? The marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Y do u want them to redefine that word for u? U want to force yourself into a category in which your relationship does not fit. You want to shove your perversion down our throat! Do what u want behind closed doors but dont force it down our throats and our childrens throats!
@futurepsycdoc I don't hate anyone, except those that would use The State to deprive me of my Liberties. My view on homosexuality (abnormal) will never be in the minority.
@associate39 ...Okay, so are you saying that couples who can't conceive shouldn't get married? Are you also saying that older people cannot get married? They can't produce life either. And another point, there are several couples who don't want children. Are they banned from marriage as well? Leave it alone. If you don't like gay marriage, don't have one. Other than that, leave others alone. Their lives do not affect you, like your's shouldn't affect them.
