<3 Lukas Haas! Still too cool to be mine?

This is absolutely a great way to talk about various subjects with kids. When he was small my son asked "what does gay mean?". I told him, and his only followup question was "is that weird?". Nope, I said, and that was that. Kids are super accepting when they don't have someone else's bias shoved down their throats…

I 100% thought that was Paul Giamatti.

I was blown away by this! As for the music, people will either enjoy it or not. However, to anyone complaining of tackiness or the fact that many of the performers were hetero, I would offer my experience tonight. I, as a young closeted gay was able to watch this with my deeply religiously conservative family in…

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.

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.
