On the eve of the United States Supreme Court hearings on Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, we talked with straight ally and marriage equality activist, Zach Wahls. Zach earned world-wide attention after his passionate testimony before the Iowa Legislature. Since that time, he’s become involved in the Boy Scouts discrimination controversy and continues to be an incredible ally for LGBT equality.
