"how am I supposed to explain gay to a child?"

My brother in Christ have you ever actually been around a child?? They will straight up ambush you with the most unhinged, bonkers, nihilist questions with a completely straight face. Questions that will cause grown adults to have an existential crisis if you think about them too long. Just yesterday in class a student stopped in the middle of playing a scale to ask me how does she even know if I exist or not and I had to sit quietly in a corner with that one for like an hour. PLEASE let me explain the gay. Explain the gay is fucking easy.

@Lana ☝️ THIS

All day long & twice on Sundays!

@Lana I just realized what it is.

It's not neccesarily even that they don't want to explain the gay as much as they're not ready to tell their kids yet what they want to do with "the gays". πŸ˜ͺ

@SrRochardBunson "how do I explain to my child how to hate the correct people?"

@Lana @SrRochardBunson "Some people decide to make their own problems with a certain kind of person everyone else's problem. Those people will often lie about why they feel that way because they know what they're doing is wrong, but they're letting their emotions control them because it's easier than thinking about the possibility they were wrong and mean to someone for no reason."

Wait, we were supposed to teach our kids to hate bigots, right?

@disorderlyf @Lana πŸ˜…

Yes, we are! That one is way easier to explain to kids, though.

"You know that bully that's mean to other people, probably because his parents don't know how to love, even though they didn't do anything to him?

It's like that, but they got older without growing up. "
