VIDEO: 86 Year Old On Gay Marriage Became A YouTube Hit

86 year old veteranWith social media, everyone has the power to make his or her voice heard.

It’s becoming easier with the improvement of technology and its widespread adoption. We have the power to change lives, fight for our country, punish wrongdoers and see our ideas transform into actions.

Recently, we saw how Ben & Jerry’s stood for Gay marriages through its Hubby Hubby ice cream.

Today, we see a 86 year old WWII veteran with 4 children support the freedom to marry.

Despite his feeble voice, Philip Spooner was able to make a strong and inspiring speech. Even if you don’t agree with Gay marriages, you must admire how this old man managed to capture the attention of almost half a million people.

He said: “The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?”
