This is so sweet and beautiful. I’m and American dancer and I have many gay friends. This year, my school got our first male Flag Twirler for the school Flag Corps. I have the priviledge of marching next to him as he holds the American Flag. He is a true inspiration, just as the boy who sings this song is. They are heros in my opinion. (And the boy is a brilliant singer too!) ^-^

A wonderful and extremely touching song. Too bad there’s no Spanish subtitles but I could understand it pretty well in English and made me remember when I was in The Netherlands a long long time ago.
I know a few Catholic Church authorities who should listen the song and stop condemning “gay adoption”. What matters is love.

Una canción maravillosa y muy conmovedora.. Que pena que no hayan subtítulos en español, pero pude entenderla muy bien en inglés. Además me hizo recordar mi estadía en Holanda hace muchos años.
Sé de algunos jerarcas católicos que deberían escuchar la canción y dejar de condenar la “adopción gay”. Lo que importa es el amor.

i like others have seen this young man ,and i find there is a deep feeling in the song .the way he put out his feelings has a lot of true people wishing he were here to let others truely know that no matter who we are ,or what life we chose to live there is love that can only be share as this young man has shown in the song.and for him to have twee vaders (two fathers ) that has given of them self so greatly.i could just hug these twee vaders to the limit.love be with this young man,and may he be TO the greatest part of his life with that love ,and understanding.i wish that i could bring a life in this world to share the same love his twee vaders have,but here in this contry it,s unthinkable.some time one wonders whats so great about the good old U S A .love be with all

I agree with Naigel. I’m Dutch, but I live in te US now (since August). A professor showed this video to us in class and I was amazed by the reactions of the my fellow students. Since this is very normal to me.

I live in the Netherlands. This song was sung in a very normal show watched by thousands of children. The only thing that crossed my mind when I first saw this on tv was “Good song” and that was all. It’s so weird to see all these (extreme) reactions spread on the internet. It makes me realize how progressive/liberate my country is compared to others.

At the EuroGames 2007 in Antwerp, another young lad, slightly older than Terrence Uphoff, sings the same song. The Dutch lyrics are identical (I think), but the subtitled translation is slightly different.

(This song was, as far as I can tell, originally written specifically for Terrence and is about his own family situation: it names his dads.)

Oh, and there’s the Sims version, if you want a laugh:
