Before signing off with a pithy Thank you Mr Prime Minister! the 10-year-old makes a definitive statement, saying that he also get to choose whether being gay or lesbian was right or wrong and I chose right and no one will persuade me to change and I mean it .
Ms Wood, who is an English teacher, said she did not edit the letter before it was sent off on Monday afternoon. She said Jaden had been practising persuasive writing in class and wanted to use his new-found skills to help fight for a good cause.
It was actually out of character for him to write this - usually, we can t get him to write anything, she said.
Despite his letter attracting media attention, Jaden s intention was not to court fame, Ms Wood said. The passionate 10-year-old just wants to hear from the Prime Minister himself.
We told him about the media attention, and all he cared about was if Abbott read it, Ms Wood said.
He asked if we could get married now. He doesn t really care that everyone has seen the letter.
But Jaden's mothers have prepared the 10-year-old for an unfavourable outcome.
He knows how it is, he has come to a gay protest march before," Ms Wood said.
He ll be disappointed if he doesn t get a reply, but we ve prepared him so that if it comes out like that, he ll know what to do. He's a resilient boy.
Ms Wood said her son was teased at school for having unmarried parents, and that, in his mind, he just wants to be normal .
He just can t understand why we can t get married, she said.
Last month, 11-year-old caused a stir after asking Mr Abbott why gay men and women can't be married in our beautiful country .
It is so pathetic that you aren't letting the gay people of Australia and other countries get married here, he wrote.
You were elected to represent our country, not yourself. Just because you think it's wrong, does not give you the right to make it illegal.
The letter went viral and ended up on websites around the world.
Mr Abbott responded to Orlando's letter a few days later, telling him that though we disagree on this issue, I respect the views you put forward .
