Kameron Slade, the child in this video, is a fifth-grader from Queens, NY, who won a class speech competition with the speech on marriage equality that you’re about to enjoy. It’s great. Can’t wait for you to hear it. He was then supposed to deliver it to the entire school, but was told by his principle that the topic was inappropriate and that if he wanted to deliver a speech in front of the school, every child’s dream, I’m sure, he would have to write a new speech. And then instead of doing THAT homophobia-pressured bologna, he read his marriage equality speech ON THE LOCAL NEWS INSTEAD! BOOOOOM, PRINCIPLE! GOTCHA, YOU JERK! BOOM GOES THE REASONABLE HUMAN BEING DYNAMITE!
It’s possible that there is hope for this garbage world. Thank you, Kameron. Thank you, Kameron’s mom. Thank you, Chili’s. (Via ThinkProgress.)

LOOK AT HIS CROOKED BACKPACK AND HIS GIANT GLASSES!!!! What a cutie-pie!
His glasses are on his nose too, you don’t read with your nose Kameron. great speech though
1. This kid is awesome and adorable.
2. I hope he dropped the mic after the video ended. It is the only way he could be more badass
Suck on THAT, Principal Dondelinger! (One can only that is his/her last name)
It’s actually Beryl Bailey, which is almost as good. I say almost because few things can beat a Simpson’s reference.
I like that right at the end after he’s done, he glances at the reporter as if to say “and that’s all that needs to be said”.

way of the future!
Well he certainly didn’t win any speech delivery competitions.
Boom. Come on, Kelly, serve up some more eleven-year-olds for me to roast.

SPELLING COMPLAINT ALERT! Is it principal or principle? I was quite sure it’s principal before this post, but now I don’t know. I’m sticking with principal.
So – is it cool to just make up alerts? I’m just looking out for you guys, I don’t want you to read a complaint about spelling, if you don’t want to. I guess it’s like the internet version of starting off with, “with all due resepect…”
While I am a very poor speller prone to many typos (so an obvious expert)…I always remembered it as “principal” since they were supposed to be your “pal”.
Thank you, Kameron, but also: thank you, NY1 reporter who had to hold up that microphone for a really long time

Can we get this kid a raise in his allowance or something?
I just bookmarked this page so I can watch it again and again on days* when I need it.
*Most days
Fuck that kid who built an arcade out of boxes, how do we pay for this kid to go to college?
You can tell that Kameron is on the right of this issue because unlike all of the dum-dums who argue to the contrary, HE RESTED HIS CASE.
He’s a good kid. No elaboration necessary.
