A fourth grade student has proven you do not have to be an adult to believe in equality.

When asked by his teacher to write an essay, the child (likely around 9 or 10 years old) chose to take his inspiration from his grandparents’ wedding.

One of the teachers posted the essay on Reddit, saying: "One of my 4th grade students chose gay marriage as his topic for a persuasive essay. This is the result. More sense than some adults.’

With the same spelling, it reads: ‘Why gay people should be able to get married is you can’t stop two adult’s from getting married because there grown and it doesn’t matter if it creeps you out just get over it.

‘And you should be happy for them because it’s a big momment in their life. When I went to my grandparents wedding it was the happies momment.

‘As you can see gay people should have the right to get married and you shouldn’t judge other peoples lives because if you was gay you wouldn’t want people talking about you.’
