And we're LDS, we're Mormon.

I've come to find out lately

that that is not the normal

reaction for Mormon

families which

is so wrong and I can't

even believe that that's not

the normal reaction

because what else do you do

as a parent?

That's the most important

thing is you protect and you

support and help your

child when things are hard.

And I've loved him for 13

years and I didn't know

how to turn it off

and I didn't want to.

[Erin] Do you think your

feelings changed by a little bit

about it?

Oh, absolutely.

[Erin] Once you found

out your son was gay?

Absolutely, more tolerance.

Less of the

intolerance, the snickers,

more of, "Ok, I need

to open up a bit."

One of my friends

just came out.

He's really awesome.

He keeps getting

bullied (unclear).

I try to keep him from

getting bullied but

it doesn't happen.

[Erin] Have you had

people ever bully you or

Yeah.

[Erin] What do you

think bullying means?

I think it's not Ok

because

it's really hard

to explain because

I don't really think that

other people should bully other

people because that

would just not make sense

because we're all the same

in some way and so that would

be just like making fun

of yourself in a way

but not really and I think

it's just poopoo to do it.

It's not Ok.

[Erin] Poo poo?

Yes, it's poopoo.

(makes poop sound)

[Erin] How have people

bullied you in school?

I've been bullied

for my favorite color,

which is pink and

I've had two people

ask if I'm a girl.

I've had people call me gay.

A lot of bad stuff.

Starting kindergarten

just teased wearing clothes

we bought in the boys section,

blue and pink rugby shirt

and some kids are saying

boys don't wear pink and we

tried to talk to him about

what he could say, "Well

yeah, boys wear pink,

"'cause I'm a boy and

I'm wearing pink."

But it's hard right, and he's

got different preferences.

He started a Hollywood Club.

and he has a fake

eyelash collection.

He doesn't wear them in

school but he talks about it

or Audrey Hepburn but most

kids there embrace him

for who he is, it's just

been a few sour apples

who've chosen to pick on him.

He even got a concussion

at the hand of a boy

in first grade,

who intentionally hit him

in the head with a rock

and we're not sure what caused

it but it's the same boy

who this year is teasing him

and asking his if he's gay

or calling him, girly boy and

asking him if he's a girl.

I see an atrophy what

I thought we deserved

I'm feeling victimized

by the lies that were yours

Take back the sudsies

you brought to me

And take back your words

One of my best friends,

her name is Shaniya,

she had had suicidal

thoughts before.

And I stopped her

from doing that

'cause I told her that there

are other people that think that

and you're not the only one.

[Mikey] It started

in fourth grade.

There was a new kid in class and

we used to hang out

and then in sixth grade

it kind of changed 'cause

more people got there

and I started dressing like

I wanted to dress.

I wear skinny jeans, high tops.

People call me gay, I'm a fag

and it kind of messes with me

but I'm like, "You know what?

"Ok, It ends here!"

Maybe I am gay and I

probably won't know it

until I'm older, there's this

kid that wants to jump me

but one day, I told

him to please stop,

it's really getting on my nerves

and I please would

appreciate it, he said no.

So I kind of went on a

full rage and I said,

"Ok, if you're not gonna stop

"I will freak out on

the teachers, on you and

"the teacher will do something

about it 'cause I will

"make sure it will happen."

And he pushed me

down on the floor,

people were huddling me saying,

"You're a fag, you're a loser."

When it gets serious

and I have to report it

and they don't do

anything, I feel like

no ones helping me anymore.

People are just

ignoring you because

they're brushing you

off, like you're nothing.

I have suicidal

thoughts some times.

I don't want to but

I feel like it's the

only option for me.

High school was kind of like

an ignorant phase for me.

I would call people

f*ggot, I would people gay

and stuff like that.

Some times it was just like

jokingly, other times it was

being serious.

[Erin] How would you say it?

In like what context?

Well,

I knew this one kid, he

was a wrestler and he was

homosexual and I was like,

"I don't wanna wrestle you

because you're a f*ggot

"and you're gonna

feel me up and stuff."

It was like that and

I don't like talking

about it 'cause

it just really makes me

think of all the bad things

I said to people in my past

for being a little

bit different.

[Erin] We are basically

on a one lane road

and we're up so high this

is like the most scariest

road I've ever seen.

You have to keep

pulling over for

each person that's coming by.

it's really scary.

So now these people have to

back up just to let us pass.

[Sonya] Everybody's

just going slow

so you can get by.

[Erin] Thank you.

[Man] You're welcome.

[Sonya] All right, this

looks like a better road.

[Erin] How do you

define marriage?

What does marriage mean to you?

That's not a good

question for me.

I've been married four times.

One time you're allowed.

Two, you're kind of

dumb, three God help you.

Please don't let me do it again.

[Erin] Do you guys feel

like it should just be

between a man and a woman?

Or it should be for

anyone to get married?

Or what do you guys

think about marriage?

We have different

opinions about that.

I don't see a problem with it,

it's just the same.

[Erin] What's your opinion?

I don't think that it should

be a marriage considered

because it's based on the

bible and the bible says,

man and woman.

So i feel like you're pushing

the preacher to do something

that's going against

his religion, basically.

Everybody's argument is,

"Well marriage is a religious

thing" and blah, blah, blah.

And if it's not through religion

then it shouldn't be allowed.

Well, we should not have

allowed to be married then

because there was no

religion whatsoever, at all

in any of our ceremony.

This is a cultural issue.

And it's deeply

ingrained in us the idea

of how marriage should be.

The marriage should be

man and woman I think.

It's meant to have children

and you can always adopt

(mumbles) but you don't

populate or anything like that.

Gay people can't do that

obviously in terms of

having a baby.

Gay mentality is only one

sided, for that kid especially.

Artificially inseminated or not.

But then, it's done,

it's genetic now.

It's the thought process is

already there, it's inbred.

The unfortunate reality of

it is that you kind of need

that federal regulation but

hopefully that one day that

people just look beyond

sexuality and gender

as part of marriage

and just see it as

two people who are in love.

[Erin] So you

just got married?

About two weeks ago.

[Erin] Here, let me see

your rings, you guys both
