Queer Stockton

With all the constant bickering and back and forth politically over gay marriage or adoption or military service or what have you… It’s easy to forget why fighting for all this matters. Over on The Stranger Dan Savage has a post up about a 14 year-old kid named Elliot who came out two years ago and whose mother helped him make his Lady Gaga costume for Halloween this year and whose father dressed up as his bodyguard and went trick-or-treating with him. So even though we lost Proposition 8 and even though we may lose in Maine and Washington this year it’s important to remember that the kids are alright and some day all this hate and conflict will be a distant shameful memory.

Check out the story here and check out Elliot’s video after the jump…

Here’s Elliot’s video make sure to go to the video itself and give him props for being a fantastic Lady Gaga.
