BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!!

But what about the children . . .

Yeah, what about the children? Well my 7 and 4 year old saw it and the older one asked me, "Why are those two guys kissing?"

My response?

"Because they are happy he got drafted. It's a huge accomplishment for him."

His response?

"Oh. Can we play zombies now?"

America, if you don't make a big deal out of it, it won't be a big deal. The last thing I want to impress upon my sons is that it was weird or strange. Why? Because if by some chance any of my children are gay, they aren't programmed to feel weird about it. I think it is far more damaging to plant the seed of hate or doubt in early childhood than exposing them to a real, raw, emotional moment (not to mention historic) . . . but maybe that's just me.
