♪ (Betty Who, "Somebody Loves You") ♪
- People are dancing in a Home Depot.
- It's like an awesome flash mob.
- ♪ ...when you can't be strong ♪
- This is like my cheer dance thing.
- Grandparents?
- Why is that a boy right there?
- His reaction. He's just like, "Oh my god!"
- Okay, so there's a guy getting proposed to so...
- He does have a nice suit, I have to say that.
- If somebody proposes to me, that's what I want to happen.
- How do they get Home Depot to approve this though?
- Is he a business man? (giggles)
- ♪ Somebody misses you when you're away ♪ - That's cool.
- Okay, so they're gay. But it's okay.
- (gasps) Is he going to propose?
- (whispering) That's so cute. - (gasps)
- (Spencer) Dustin, I love you more than anything in this entire world.
- (Spencer) Will you marry me? - Marry who?
You mean a boy marrying a boy?
(in video: cheering and applause continues)
- How does a guy marry a guy?!
- So they're gay? - (Finebros) Mm-hm.
Oh.
- That was so cute and it doesn't matter if they're gay or anything.
I c-- I can't even. Okay.
- Is it another marriage proposal?
- Hi!
(in video: woman laughs in disbelief)
- That's a little dangerous, standing on a bus.
- "A little over six years ago..."
- ♪ I've been living a lonely life ♪
- I feel like I know what kind of topic this is.
(in video: joyful laughter) (laughs along)
- It's like the first thing you do, try to pinch yourself.
- (singing along) ♪ You belong with me You're my sweetheart ♪
- (singing along) ♪ I belong with you You belong with me ♪
♪ You're my sweet-- ♪ (giggles)
(in video: laughter and cheering)
- (falsetto voice) Will you marry me?
- How does a girl propose to a girl and how does a guy propose to a guy?
- Awww.
(in video: cheering) (shy giggle)
- I love all these videos. They're just too cute.
- That's what I want to see a lot.
Gay and lesbian people shouldn't be hiding.
- (Finebros) What did both those videos have happen in them?
- Justin Bieber married a guy.
- (Finebros) That wasn't Justin Bieber! - Oh.
- Two marriage proposals, both with songs.
- I was really in awe of them.
- A boy and a boy together, and a girl and a girl.
- There was a guy proposing to a guy. THAT'S JUST CRAZY!
Then there was a girl proposing to a girl. THAT'S JUST CRAZY!
- (Finebros) How did the videos make you feel?
- Good.
- It was really cool. - Oh, I was so moved by that.
- (Finebros) Why do you think that is bad? - 'Cause...
- (Finebros) What do you think people's reactions were
when they watched these videos? - Um, it depends for certain people.
- Really good, positive things. - Yeah, I hope not negative things.
- Some people must have been like, "Rock on!"
And some people were like, "Ew."
- You don't see that everyday. It's okay though.
A boy can like a boy or a girl can like a girl.
- Most people would probably have a reaction like, "It's not natural!"
- (Finebros) A lot of people were upset at these marriage proposals
BECAUSE it was a man proposing to a man
and a woman proposing to a woman.
- I don't get why anybody would be mad!
Anyone should be able to marry anyone.
- You should feel happy that they're getting married.
- People that do not like gay-- I mean, they are good.
- You can't tell another person who to marry!
What if you're a girl and your boyfriend proposes to you?
That's not different from a girl proposing to a girl.
- If you want to marry the same sex that's okay.
It's just like Macklemore said: "I can't change you, even if I tried."
- (Finebros laughs) - ♪ Even if I wanted to ♪
- (Finebros) Do you know what being gay means?
- No.
- A boy likes a boy and a girl likes a girl.
- (Finebros) It means that they like someone of the same gender.
- Does that mean they're a gate? - (Finebros) No, not a gate.
I just don't know where the name comes from.
- (Finebros) The word actually comes from the word that means happy.
- If I got a box of microscopes, would I be gay?
- (Finebros) Well, because you're happy? - Yeah.
- (Finebros) Why is it that some people like the opposite gender
while some people like the same gender?
- Hmm.
- Well, it's the same. My best friend's a boy, not a girl.
- You're hanging out with a guy for the rest of your life.
All you're gonna know is guy things.
If you go to a fancy restaurant, you're just gonna be burping the whole time.
- People that like the same gender
are depicted as abnormal, but they were born that way.
- (Finebros) Well, do you think that people are born that way?
- (Finebros) Some people say that people choose to be gay
and that it's something that can be corrected or fixed.
- Yeah, it could be possible actually.
But if you really like that person, you should be with that person.
- That kind of stuff makes me sick.
- You can't be all bossy to people.
Like, "(bossily) You can't do that! You can't do that!
You need to do this. No! No! No!"
It's okay for school and stuff like that-- vocabulary, spelling, and everything,
but when it's yourself don't let people tell you what to do.
- (Finebros) What do you think about gay marriage?
- I'm just new to the concept.
- The first time I ever heard about it I was like,
"Okay, that's kind of weird but...
well, people should be together if they like each other a lot.
- If one person should be able to do something,
then everybody else should be able to do it.
Some of our really good friends are gay and lesbian.
- You shouldn't have to be any different than regular marriage,
even though in our society it is.
- My friends talk about it all the time.
They use the word "gay" as something else.
You don't just say, "(cruelly) Hey, you're gay. Ha. Ha."
Why would you be that mean to someone?
- (Finebros) So in the United States, only 14 states are you allowed
to get married if you are gay-- only 14.
- Out of 50. That's outrageous.
- (sternly) I need to talk to Mr. President.
I feel bad for the people that live
in that state and like the same gender.
- It kinda takes away from whole freedom thing.
- Love's a freedom and they're totally taking that away.
- It used to be illegal for a black person to marry a white person.
I don't get why all this stuff has to be illegal.
- Slavery wasn't abolished until Abraham Lincoln.
Then women weren't even allowed to vote.
We've progressed a lot, and there was bumps in the road,
but now we're at another bump.
- I think that you have to find a boy and a girl.
I mean, you can get married like that. But gay? You can't get married.
- (Finebros) But do you know why you don't like it?
- Some people want to live in one state and they want to get married.
They just ought to move to the other state.
But I'm afraid there's tornadoes.
I don't want to go there, but I have to because I want to marry
someone I like! And that's not right.
- (Finebros) Well, in some places in the world you can
even be put in jail if you're gay. - (put off) Wow!
- (Finebros) And even worse, in some places you even could be
sentenced to death just because you love the same gender.
- I'm not going wherever that is.
- You can't just kill someone for what they like.
- I'm kind of ashamed that I live in this world!
Why can't I live on that moon that supposedly has jellyfish on it?
- (Finebros) Why does it matter so much to other people
who you love and who you marry? - Because gay is bad for you.
- I don't know. For crazy, dumb, selfish stuff.
- I'm not really sure what's in their mind, what they're thinking.
Well, I guess people consider it "not normal".
- Maybe their religion doesn't want that?
- Nobody really has a reason to hate gays.
It's not like-- there's no completely valid reason.
- (Finebros) A lot of people who are gay are afraid
to admit it and afraid to come out.
They're worried about their family rejecting them or losing their friends.
Why does something like that happen so often?
- Because they know people are mean about it
and they don't want to be bullied.
- 'Cause they're scared of what might happen.
- Some people, I guess, would think they're trying to hit on them.
That totally changes the perspective.
The thought might cross your mind of,
"Oh my god. What if they have a crush on me?"
It's the same thing if a guy says he has a crush on me.
And you say, "Oh, well, you know, I don't really like you
in that way but we can still be friends."
I mean, you don't just have to completely cast him out of your life.
You can't read minds, you can't tell if someone likes you or not
so... yeah, just deal with it.
Deal with it. (everyone laughs)
- (Finebros) So if someone was your friend
and they turned out to be gay would you still be their friend?
- No.
- I would still be their friend
but I would just ask them a few questions.
- Well, I would have a different look on it,
but I think I'd still be friends with them.
- If it's your friend, then it's your friend.
- I'd love them more for being honest with me.
- They don't turn different. They just turn out to love a boy.
- My best friend is gay, and so he came out last year.
And I mean, seriously, we've been best friends since third grade.
- I would keep being your friend.
Even if you think it's weird, it doesn't really affect on how they act.
If you don't think about it, they sound like a perfectly normal kid.
- (Finebros) So now let's go over some of the reasons people say
they are against gay marriage. - (wearily) Oh god.
- (Finebros) Some have said they're against it
because they say it's not natural,
because a man and a woman, they can have children.
Is that a valid reason to be against gay marriage?
- Adopt!
- People are mean to each other sometimes.
Maybe that's just their opinion.
Some people want to have kids. Some people don't want to have kids.
So it doesn't really affect on it.
- If it's happening and it's not a chemical,
- (Finebros) Another major reason that it's very controversial
is that every major religion has something in their books
that could be interpreted as being against people who are gay.
What are your thoughts about people who are against it for religious beliefs?
- I mean, I'm a Christian and I don't think it's wrong.
- It's, like, the 21st century. - Things have changed.
- If they said that, like, "God told me blah, blah, blah,"
I'd be like, "(mumbling) Um, that's nice. I'm gonna leave you now."
- Religion shouldn't be something that determines who you're friends with.
- A lot of people have that logic.
My religion says so, so I have to do it.
When you're saying that someone's gay and that's wrong,
you're using your religion against someone else.
- (Finebros) Some states don't let you get married
but they'll give gay couples the same rights
as someone who is married. Is that enough?
I feel like they should be able to get married if they want to
- It's not good because it's like, "Oh, you can have every single right.
You just can't get married." That's the one thing they want.
- I sort of get what they're saying about,
"Oh. What are they complaining about? They still have the same rights."
But they're still deprived of one thing
which is sort of a major milestone in somebody's life.
- You could have your friend that's not gay.
But then you'll be with your partner, but you won't be married.
- Before Martin Luther King stood up,
it's like white people were like kings and queens!
Then black people were like tiny, little servants.
They're treating-- the people who get married like,
"We're the people who own a mansion."
And then the other people... people in small cottages.
If a person wants to do something and they can't,
that means something in your life is impossible,
like you have a brick wall all around you.
And you want to go to that tree, and you can't pass over that wall.
Yeah.
But you can't. It's like you're trapped.
- (Finebros) And what would you want to say to the people
out there that believe gay marriage shouldn't be allowed?
- Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.
- Just get a whole new idea about it because it's fine.
There's nothing wrong with it.
- If only gay people could marry, you'd be really sad.
So why shouldn't they be able to marry?
- It's not okay to hate gay people.
He loves everybody and he can't hate anything.
- You guys are basic and nobody likes you. No, I'm kidding.
If they've never been around gay people
and they're just doing what the Bible says or what their parents say,
you're judging that person without actually meeting them.
- You need to realize you're just a little speck.
- I wouldn't exactly say, "You suck. Get out of my life.,"
but I'd say that in the nicest words possible.
- (Finebros) And what about people who might be watching
that are either in a bad situation and they are openly gay
or they've not come out and are too afraid to come out?
- All right.
"Never think about what someone says about you.
Only think about what you think of yourself."
- If someone doesn't accept you, then they obviously aren't your friends.
- I'm totally supporting you guys. You guys are awesome.
- (Finebros laughs) - Air hug!
- There are people who are supportive of your sexual orientation.
- You always hear, "Your real self shines through."
Maybe eventually someday the whole thing will be over
and a nice gay couple can be together.
Maybe someday people won't have to worry about it
and you might feel like you've done an actual good thing.
- (Finebros) Do you think that by the time you have grown up
that gay marriage will be legal everywhere? - Yes.
- I'm not sure. People are selfish.
I think the world everywhere-- like all planets-- just legalize it.
- (Finebros) Why is equal rights, as a concept for all people,
something so important? - Because human beings are human beings
and they should all be treated the same.
- So it's fair for everyone and people don't get upset or sad.
- Remember that time where there were bathrooms for black people
and bathrooms for white people?
No one has a greater power than you except, you know,
the bureaucracy and everything. (laughs)
- It's so funny how people who, let's say, are racist.
And then you say to them, "We should be different because my eyes
are blue and your eyes are brown."
They'd probably be like, "Oh what? No, that's absurd!"
I mean, unless you guys want to hear me go on and on about this,
I suggest you just cut it right now.
- This is a really big situation of what people
think and what people are hating.
Even though that's not my problem, I will still fight for it if I can.
