here's the thing - we have gay friends and our kids know that this is no big deal.
i told my son it's like when he got a crush on the girl in his class, some people get crushes on people of the same sex. it's just the way they are born.
our neighbor's son is his age, likes to hold hands and is generally more interested in "girl" toys. my son said he really likes this other boy, and wants him to know he would never be mean to him just because he's gay. I was like, no, you can't say anything because it might embaress him. so he wants to know what's embaressing about it if there's nothing wrong with it. ummmm . . . . . ?
so then i said you don't know he's gay so you shouldn't assume it, it's not your business. he said it doesn't bother him that people know he likes the girl in his class.
please help, i don't care about being p.c. or whatever, i just want to be a good mommy.
i can't ask my gay friends because i don't want to hurt their feelings or put them on the spot.
