Mark Thompson READ TIME: 2 MIN.
New York, NY - In The Life Media celebrated Mother's Day with "My Two Moms," a web short video featuring Zack Wahls, the son of lesbian moms whose passionate speech to the Iowa House of Representatives in support of marriage equality went viral on YouTube, capturing the attention of the country.
Wahls joins In The Life Media to discuss his experience as a child of two moms, how he's adjusting to life in the spotlight, and his new book, "My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength and What Makes a Family."
"My hope for the book is to show people that this is just a portrait of another American family," says Wahls, "that is just as valid as any other American family."
