【The Sisters' Room (2015) Watch online】

Seven years ago,The Sisters' Room (2015) Watch online 19-year-old Zach Wahls made internet magic when he spoke before the Iowa House of Representatives and defended his lesbian mothers' right to marriage.

Fast forward to 2018. On Tuesday night, Wahls won the Democratic nomination for Iowa Senate District 37, earning close to 60% of the vote.

Wahls, who will be running for a seat typically occupied by Democrats, is considered the favorite to win the general election. He's running against libertarian Carl Krambeck, who ran unopposed.

The candidate came of age back when viral videos were really, really good -- when Twitter was divided between emotional pleas on behalf of same-sex marriage and cats on roombas.

Wahls' video cleared over 3 million views. He was an engineering student at the University of Iowa at the time he gave the speech.

"In my 19 years, not once have I ever been confronted by an individual who realized independently that I was raised by a gay couple," Wahls said in his speech. "And you know why? Because the sexual orientation of my parents has had zero affect on the content of my character."

Wahls, a former Boy Scout, has since become an LGBTQ activist and advocate, though he identifies as straight. He will be one of the youngest people ever to serve in the Iowa Senate.

So the next time you people want to mock cheesy emotional viral videos, just remember this moment. Every once in a while this internet hell hole produces something good.
