As you know, the Supreme Court decision on Friday in favor of same-sex marriage is controversial. Some people just don't like it. They don't believe in it. They don't think it's right. One of the most common arguments you hear is "How do I explain this to my kids?" And it's a good question. At the very least, it's a fair question. You wonder if children are sophisticated enough to wrap their head around something like this. So we went out on the street today to ask kids what they think and what they know, and here they are: kids share their thoughts on same-sex marriage.
大家都知道，最高法院週五贊成通過同志婚姻，大家對這個決定爭論不休。有些人就是不喜歡。他們不相信同志婚姻。也不覺得這是對的。大家最常聽到的一個論點是：我要怎麼教小孩啊？這是個好問題。至少這是個公平的問題。你不確定小孩是不是夠成熟了，能夠理解這類事情。所以我們今天到街上問小朋友的想法，看看他們知道多少，以下就來觀賞：小朋友發表對於同志婚姻的想法。
