Yes, we're late to this party. We heard that it happened, when CNN reported that some punk kid told John McCain that he didn't seem like a leader in New Hampshire.
His name is William Sleater, and he's a sophomore at Concord High School in Concord, New Hampshire.
He asked McCain if he supports same-sex marriage during a pep rally called "Tide Pride" on a Monday morning. When McCain said that he didn't, Sleater asked, "So you would want to take away someone's rights because you think it's wrong?"
Uhm...it's a good question.
Sleater says that the decision to raise the idea stemmed from his recent coming out as bisexual to his friends, and the school. An article in the Concord Monitor quoted him as saying:
"It was a good thing to do, to come out like that...then I knew the whole don't ask thing, the policy, was very flawed. Pretending your sexuality is something it's not is very difficult to do. Even liking both sexes, you can't just pretend you like one. It's very hard to do."
He added that students were fine with his news. "Almost all of them," he said. "About 99.9 percent."
Seriously...who says that the youth today is a mess? You are totally our hero, William Sleater.
