A resounding testament to the power of family and a reassurance that there is no wrong way to be who you are
It has been almost two years since Zach Wahls (then 19 years old) bravely stood up in front of the Iowa House of Representative and defended gay marriage and his family. Wahls proudly proclaimed, "The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character,” and his speech instantly went viral and became YouTube’s #1 political video of 2011.
In My Two Moms, Zach offers a stirring and brave defense of his family. Raised by two moms in a conservative Midwestern town, Zach’s parents instilled in him values that families everywhere can embrace—values driven home by his journey toward becoming an Eagle Scout. Zach’s upbringing couldn’t have been more mainstream—he played sports, was active in Boy Scouts, and led his high school speech and debate team—yet, growing up with two moms, he knows that it’s like to feel different and fear being bullied, 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 who's ever felt like an outsider: "You are not alone."

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this "moving personal tribute" (The Daily Beast) to the power of family in all its forms, the Iowa State Senator, U.S. Senate candidate, and outspoken marriage equality advocate offers a vital reminder that being yourself is always enough-now with a new afterword "This is a wonderful book. You will love it, you will weep at times. It is an incredible demonstration of the power of real values."-Jon Stewart On January 31, 2011, Zach Wahls addressed the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in a public hearing regarding a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Iowa. Then nineteen years old, Wahls-the son of a same-sex couple-proudly proclaimed, "The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character." The video of his speech quickly went viral and became YouTube's number one political video of the year, racking up more than twenty million hits. Wahls has since championed marriage equality everywhere from The Late Show with David Letterman to the Democratic National Convention. In My Two Moms, Wahls explores the values his two moms, Terry and Jackie, taught him about love, strength, and family-values driven home by his journey toward Eagle Scout, the Boy Scouts of America's highest rank. In many ways, his upbringing was very normal-he played sports, was active in Boy Scouts, and led his high school debate team-yet, growing up with two moms, he knows what it's like to feel different and be treated as inferior. In My Two Moms, Zach Wahls delivers a reassuring message to same-sex couples, their kids, and anyone who's ever been called an outsider: You are not alone. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00100515800
