"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.

My 2 year old daughter's best friend has 2 dads. We never even had to explain it, it just is.

@gbargoud @Lana One of my sonโ€™s preschool classmates had two moms and he was like โ€œhuh, two moms huh?โ€ for about a day, and then fully absorbed this fact and moved on with his life.

Not nearly as awkward (and hilarious) as when he was three and asking every adult he knew if they had a penis or not.

@MisuseCase @gbargoud

When I was that age I used to ask total strangers how many teeth they had and then fully count my own teeth in public in front of them.
