10-year-old boy stands up for LGBT rights

10-year-old Will Philips from West Fork, Ark. was on CNN Nov. 16 for refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at his elementary school. The boy states that he will not stand for the pledge because the last line is "liberty and justice for all". He believes that because there is still racism and the denial of marriage for gays and lesbians. The boy decided to execute his first amendment right after analyzing the pledge and feeling that the statement is not true in America today. He says that he will continue to sit during the pledge until marriage rights are given to gays and lesbians. He has been the center of publicity, negative as well as positive, and ridicule from classmates, but is sticking to his beliefs. You go, boy!
