A week after popping the marriage question to his girlfriend at a White House LGBT reception, a transgender man has released a video response to conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham and others who condemned the proposal, which was caught on tape and posted on YouTube.

"Somehow our proposal unleashed a wave of anti-trans and LGBT backlash," reads the description of the video response posted by Scout, whose name is legally one word. Scout goes on to say in the video that there are "a few people who seem to have a problem with a trans guy proposing to his girlfriend at the White House. We just wanted to respond to a few of those folks."

The video shows Scout reading aloud some of the criticisms he has gotten since news of his proposal gained traction on the Internet...
