That's how you do it.

Boom. The whole "kids be confused" argument makes zero sense. I remember when I was ~6 I saw a news story about a pastor who was in trouble for attempting to marry two men. I asked my mom why, and she had a way harder time explaining that to me ("So they weren't brothers? Then if they loved each other why couldn't

My Mam is like you-'If they're old enough to ask the question, they're old enough to hear the answer'. Simple and true.

They don't care in the slightest. When my eldest was six (I guess that is the inquisitive age regarding people and such) asked us what gay meant, we said that sometimes men marry men and women marry women. He was fine with that and went about his business. He asked if this one super camp pop group was gay and I said

When my sister was 5, she was riding the bus with her babysitter (not American is all I'm saying.) Two men were kissing on the corner. Babysitter said that is bad, a sin, yada yada. My sister said if they are kissing, they must like each other. And if they like each other, why shouldn't they kiss? Babysitter

seriously. I remember very seriously telling my mom as a pre-schooler that my best friend and I were going to get married one day because you should be married to your best friend ..and then i learned about heteronormativity

Seriously. I remember when I heard the term lesbian for the first time and asked my mom what it meant. She said something along the lines of "lesbians are women who love other women like I love your dad." And I was like, "ok cool, can I have ice cream now?"*

Yeah, a few months ago my 6-year-old said, "Mommy, did you know girls could marry girls?" and I said yes, I knew that, and wasn't it nice? And she nodded and went on with her day.

Exactly! And people forget that it's not just any old kid that could be watching - it could be a gay kid. It could be a kid who's never had their experience reflected in a meaningful way in the media. That can be huge for a kid.

You are the best mom. (I'm assuming, don't hurt me.)

Now there is fathers having kids and all that, and it is hard for me to understand that too in the sense of a household having peoples… Two parents sleeping in the same bed and the kid going into bed… It is confusing in a sense.

UNF.

Finally! YES!!

The sound you hear? It's the internet exploding

Catching Canadian episodes and I rather like this season, fun stuff that reminds you of how wild this show can be and look forward to folks enjoying the rest of the year, a nice rebound from season 3.

Something else is wrong too, missing perhaps . . . oh ya, gravity.

Thanks so much for the information! I wasn't aware that the Nuvaring could be used in various ways; I think my girlfriend takes it out after 3 weeks, goes a week without, and then puts a new one in, and I had no idea there were other ways that could have effects on the cycle.

Huh. I had such an opposite reaction; I love Danny, but when he said, "You're a woman. Look like a woman," I sort of recoiled. I love Mindy, I think she's gorgeous, and seeing her on TV makes me so much happier than seeing...well, pretty much any of the ladies you normally see on TV. But like, she's not a woman

Girl! Yes that was TMI but I am soooo nosey, I read it anyway. I feel all types of intrigue now, what has become of me?
