The children’s genuine and at times surprising responses to the portrayal of two same-sex marriage proposals and a series of follow-up questions proves that prejudice is a learned phenomenon, whereas understanding and acceptance are always more natural reactions.

Write the filmmakers:

“We spoke with 13 kids ages 5-13, presenting them with 2 viral videos of same sex marriage proposals, and then had a very frank and honest conversation to get their thoughts about it all.

As you will see there is a mixture of negativity, confusion and support from our panel, with a running theme of not understanding why inequality continues to exist in our world, and that equal rights is very important.

It’s a thought provoking episode that will stir controversy, but we believe it’s important to have these types of conversations openly, and hope we captured a moment in time that showed what the state of this issue was in our society in 2013.”
