a 7-year-old first grader stands up to the religious right WATCH THIS CLIP July 1, 2015

 

In this video clip Zea–a 7-year-old first grader–stands up to bully religious right. The argument he shouted at her could have been taken from the pages of evangelical sources and their reaction to the Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage. When this preacher began ranting at a child through a microphone, little Zea just waved her rainbow flag and never backed down.

Her dad, Ryan Bowling, posted this video of the confrontation on YouTube. It took place over the weekend at ComFest, a music and arts festival in Columbus, OH that turned into a celebration of the court’s decision.

“Zea didn’t just flash the flag at that hatemonger, and bail. They went toe to toe, for several minutes, while he bellowed all of his fire and brimstone right in her face,” Bowling wrote on Facebook. “Grown man vs first grader. She told me afterward that she did feel scared.”

My hero!
