Toddler Makes Most Compelling Argument For Marriage Equality On Wednesday, Minnesota families spoke in support of a bill that would eliminate the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

But Emmett had the last laugh when he finally got close enough to the microphone to speak. By the end of the speech all Paul and James could do was chuckle at the rebel toddler. By handling the situation with class and charm, Paul and James ending up making the best argument yet for supporting marriage equality in the state of Minnesota. Watch the clip below.
