Gay Rights Speech with a Historical Twist!

No matter your opinion on gay rights, you have to admire the way this preacher used history to make a connection regarding gay rights. So there is no misleading on my part, this does end as a pro-gay rights speech. If you enjoy history at all, you may find this interesting.
