My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family

A resounding testament to individuality and the power of family in all forms from the young man who â€œlit up the Internetâ€ (Ellen DeGeneres)

On January 31, 2011, Zach Wahls addressed the IowaÂ House Judiciary CommitteeÂ in a public forum regarding full marriage equality. The nineteen-year-old son of a same-sex couple, Wahls proudly proclaimed, â€œThe sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character.â€ Hours later, his speech was posted on YouTube, where it went viral, quickly receiving more than two million views. By the end of the week, everyone knew his name and wanted to hear more from the boy with two moms.

Same-sex marriage will be a majorâ€”possibly the definingâ€”issue in this yearâ€™s election cycle, and Wahls speaks to that, but also to a broader issue.Â Sure, heâ€™s handsome and athletic, an environmental engineering student, and an Eagle Scout. Yet, growing up with two moms, he knows what itâ€™s like to feel different and to fear being made fun of or worse. In the inspirational spirit of It Gets Better edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller, My Two Moms also delivers a reassuring message to same-sex couples, their kids, and anyone whoâ€™s ever felt like an outsider: â€œYou are not alone.â€
