that two people that are

in a same-sex relationship

can't get married.

- Thanks boys.

- [Sandy] He's just growing

up too fast at the moment.

These funny little

habits, like you give him,

undress and give his dirty

clothes to put in the laundry.

I had to leave the room.

- He's 12.

- Going past that stage, I know,

but he's just growing up too fast.

- What's wrong, you don't get

naked in front of your mum?

Yeah but I just thought

we had a few more years,

15 at least, before we got to that

stage.

What's it gotta be like when you're

12?

- Hairy.

(Laughs)

- There are definitely a few things

that we have got in common.

But with religion,

I think we're two

different people with that.

- That's really nice, that's great.

Big smiles for me boys!

Yeah that's great.

- [Matt] if I really, really

don't wanna do something,

then I will stand up to

her and I will say Mum,

I really don't want to do this.

Not going to church every Sunday

it's just one of those

things that, I don't know,

we just don't go to anymore.

(Boys shouting)

I definitely think she's

strong about her religion.

But I don't think her not

going to church is gonna,

she's not losing her faith anymore.

It's just, I don't know,

she just wants to put like,

the family first.

- The eight's big, I need

it in like a middle size

or a six longer.

- You haven't done these

shoelaces up properly.

- I know.

I like thicker shoelaces, they tie

easy.

- There, is that better?

- Yeah, not so big on

being a singer anymore.

Just seems too out of reach.

Newtown isn't that big

a thing anymore, so.

I dunno.

(Laughs)

- Aw, oh it looks good.

Looks very good.

You look so old.

- What, you want me to look six

again?

- (Laughs) That'd be good.

- I reckon it's just made me

mature up a bit about music.

I reckon I'm a bit more self-aware

now

and understand what's going on around

me.

Bit more grown up.

- [Seth] Ebony, you look

like a actual teenager.

- What are you doing on your head?

- Look at her, she looks so grown up.

- [Ebony] I was a little bit anxious

that they wouldn't accept my gay

parents.

- Give me a kiss.

- Bye Ma.

- [Ebony] if they have a problem with

it

they're not worth it.

Try and harass me there,

I'll kick their butt.

- [Jen] But whatever school you go

to,

part of it is you know that

you have to do debating

this year, or join the orchestra.

- I don't want to do either of those

and you cannot make me.

- I can make you.

- You can't make me.

- Of course I can.

- No you can't.

- Of course I can.

That's the whole point of being a

parent.

- It doesn't let you force

things onto your child.

- It does, actually,

that's the whole point.

That's why everyone's

cranky with their parents,

'cause their parents force things on

them.

It's really what's allowed.

- I'll call the police right now Mum.

- No they can only work

on child abuse, baby.

And having to do orchestra or

debating is not child abuse.

- That is definitely child abuse.

- It's not! It's sending

a child to school.

- Because in debate it's so boring

so I'll get bored and

I'll fall off my chair,

then I'll quit and everything

around me will be bad

and then I'll commit suicide.

I'm dead, you killed me.

And then in music, you're

trying to make me deaf

so I can't hear anything and I

can't hear the traffic lights

and then I die because I go into the

road.

Killed me.

- Gus that's not a good argument.

Neither of those arguments are very

good.

- Great argument.

- Not a great argument,

they're terrible arguments.

- See that's why I

shouldn't go into debating.

- That's why you should go to

debating,

you'd be better at it.

- [Gus] I just love the way

Jen is, how she teases me

about not liking wrestling,

I just wouldn't want to change that.

I think it would be boring if

everybody had the same opinion

in the world.

I think that it would be totally

awesome

if every single person had

their own opinion about stuff.

(Cheers)

(Uplifting music)

(Crowd chatter)

(Raucous cheers)

(Fireworks boom)

(Joyful cheers)

- [Ebony] I don't really

think it actually makes me

that unique, that I have two mums.

It's just different for

every person growing up.

The people who raise you and

make you who you are today

are your family.

(Uplifting music)

(Inspiring pop music)

Lonely light you shine so lyrically

Please not be my own and

light my woes predictably

Cause I walk with difference

To sing my song with pride

There's nothing left in me

to find but what I feel inside

And I don't fight the feeling

'Cause feelings they just need to

grow

It's the only expression

I need to know

I've got to find the feeling

I want these feelings to grow

It's all that I believe in

Just let my feelings show

Strike a chord on the rough of my

face

The tears they burn like fire

But boy I like the way they taste

Who knows whose meaning

really feels my song

When on this page is all

for some and some for anyone

So I don't fight the feeling

'Cause feelings they just need to

grow

It's the only expression

I need to know

It's so irresistible

To place what you

find in lonely miracles

But you don't need approval

Just take what you do

and make it beautiful

So I don't fight the feeling

'Cause I just let my feelings show

It's the only expression

I need to know

I got to find the feeling

I want these feelings to grow

It's all that I believe in

It's all that I believe in

I want these, I want these,

I want these, I want these,

So I don't fight the feeling

Yeah I just let my feelings show

Yeah I just let my feelings show
