>> we appreciate i. tell me about this book, my -- appreciate it. tell me about this book, my two moms. >> the book is structured around the 12 values, of a scout. growing up in boy scouts is a part of my development each chapter is an examination of one of those 12 values, trustworthy, loyal, friendly, courteous, brave, reverent, how i learned that value i learned it at home. what it means to the broader struggle, for full e equality under the law. >> you are from iowa, you grew up there. that is a state in the past that has not necessarily been extremely supportive of the lgbt community. what was it look growing up from the town you are from in that state with two moms. >> there was some struggles i had to go through. having same sex parents, i think it is important for your viewers to understand the

reason that kids like me had to go through struggles like those, is because of the perception, of our parents not our parents specifically. we only have to go through those challenges because rick santorum or mitt romney or whoever stands up and say they are a real problem. when they say they are a problem they create a problem that is an important difference lost on the other side. >> these are pictures. >> me and my little sister. >> very very cute. now, obviously, you are very passionate about this. you spoke before the iowa judiciary committee, trying to -- >> sorry, i haven't seen that picture in awhile. >> it is a great picture. the frowning face. >> we just put the christmas tree up. >> beautiful family for sure. as i was mentioning you talked about same-sex marriage. you had testimony this is video we have here. tell me about preparing for that. it was -- they were trying to propose a ban on same-sex

marriage. this kind of catapulted you into the spotlight. >> this was taken january 31st, 2011 i was testifying before the iowa house judiciary committee on a proposed constitutional amendment that would have reversed the supreme court decision that would have legalized same-sex marriage in iowa. that died in the senate even though it passed the house where i was speaking. for the moment my moms are still happily married but on a nashle level and federal level -- nash hall level and federal level there is a rag tag patch work of laws that governs how families like mine are treated across the country. that is why i am happy to be here, lobbying tomorrow the iowa delegation when it comes to same sex adoption rights, employment, there is a laundry list of laws and regulations put in place over the years and it creates this problem when you are travelling across the country you don't know if you are protected in one state, another state what the laws look like. that is why having these kind of you know patch work solutions don't work. when you pull equality under

the law. >> i can understand that frustration going state to state which leads me to the question i imagine, when president obama came out and said recently he was in support of same-sex marriage, obviously that was a thrill for the lgbt community but let me ask you this and maybe, your mothermaybe you yourself, was there any dispointment at all, not to hear the president go as far as to say, it should be a federal law, where he wants to leave it up to the state. >> yeah, this is something he talked about on the view the other day. this was a very delicate nuance. there is no doubt marriage is something left up to the state, under the 10th amendment the way that all works however, i think the president has been very clear he supports the repeal of the defensive marriage act which is the most uncon sty constitutional part you have the federal government stepping in saying we are going to get involved in marriage on this specific issue. and inconsistencies there.

by repealing the defenses marriage act, that removes the federal government's role in the way it has been obstructionist so far. so even though, you know president obama also opposes a federal marriage amendment to the constitution which is a stark contrast to mitt romney who supports that amendment. so in terms of him not necessarily giving full throttle support there is always more work to do. but in terms of what is actually proper for the president of the united states, i think he is there. >> okay. zach thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> we appreciate you giving us insight into your story good luck on the hill. >> thanks i will need it. a huge prize for a college senior. former astronaut explains the space x mission. time to check with holly. hey, good morning we are still in gaithersburg where they are getting ready for the third annual book festival. young adults if you are interested in reading we have something for you. we will introduce you to an
