In this meticulously assembled animation from a California seventh-grader, love is pretty simple, but life isn't.

"Even as a little girl in preschool, I remember that I have always known people who were LGBT," said Scarlett Dennis, "and I could never tell any difference between him or her and any one else. We were all just people. This is why I find it so strange that gay marriage is still not legally allowed in some states in America."

Dennis's teacher at her school in Los Angeles assigned the class to create a project on any activist topic, and the result is "The Story of Larry & Gerald."

Editor's Note: Scarlett is the daughter of our HR director, and yes, we're very proud.
