A nine-year-old in Denver, Colorado has become an unlikely posterchild (literally) for marriage equality. Ethan McNamee of Montclair Elementary School organized a rally in support of same-sex marriage at his school reportedly after hearing slurs on the playground. There's an unmarried gay couple in his neighborhood as well, which led to McNamee's desire to speak out on the issue. Controversy over whether the third-grader is being used by his parents or teachers as a mouthpiece for a mature debate is inevitable, but it's evident from news report footage that McNamee is confident in what he believes and is wise beyond his mere nine years. We see a lot more activism in his future!
