A fourth grader's essay in support of
gay marriage went viral on Wednesday after the student's teacher
posted a photo of the essay on the social news site Reddit.
“One of my fourth grade students
chose gay marriage as his topic for a persuasive essay,” the
teacher wrote. “This is the result. More sense than some adults.”
“Why gay people should be able to get
married is you can't stop two adults from getting married because
there grown and it doesn't matter if it creeps you out just get over
it,” the
student wrote. “And you should be happy for them because it's
a big moment in their life. When I went to my grandparents wedding
it was the happiest moment.”
“As you can see gay people should
have the right to get married and you shouldn't judge other peoples
lives because if you was gay you wouldn't want people talking about
you.”
The
teacher added: “I am not sharing this because of how perfect
the sentences are, but because of how clear his thought process is on
this specific issue. It isn't as simple as pointing out mistakes and
spelling errors.”
