Chicken Soup for the Queer Soul
Video-Style

July 20, 2010

I’m putting together a post for tomorrow but in the meantime I thought I’d share a few video clips with you that I’ve found to be hopeful, meaningful, and a breath of fresh air. All of these have been around the internet for a while and so you might have already seen them, but whether you’ve watching them for the first time or the tenth, enjoy! (The first clip takes a little longer to start and if you have a problem viewing any of the clips here, just double-click on the video and that will take you to its home page on YouTube.)

Here is the testimony of Philip Spooner, an 86 year old veteran of WWII who spoke on behalf of Maine’s marriage equality bill on April 22, 2009. Just try and convince me that listening to this dear man doesn’t make your eyes spring a leak.

Kathy Baldock is a evangelical Christian and a straight ally of GLBTQ people. I’ve been saying all along that being gay and Christian isn’t a contradiction and neither is being an evangelical and an ally.

This captures the moment from a few weeks ago when marriage equality passed in Argentina. You don’t have to understand Spanish to experience the joy of the moment. It’s pure goosebumps in any language.
