[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my now fourth grader was in pre k, he came home and said that a girl in his class has two dads. It is common practice at this school for kids to bring in their family photos to keep in their cubbies. Each student had a chance to discuss their photo and she said hers was of her and her to dads.

[b]My husband and I used this as an opportunity to discuss all kinds of family structures [/b]and let him know that what's important is you have someone who loves and cares for you and believes in you no matter what. Fast forward a few years..he knows at least 4-5 other kids with same gender parents.

Simple, clear, and honest explanations are best at this age. [/quote]

Exactly.  DS had a two-mom family in his preschool class.  We used this opportunity to talk about how sometimes, kids have two moms or two dads.  I am grateful that we had the opportunity to have this discussion.  However, I wouldn't be particularly thrilled if their teachers had led this discussion. [b] I support and voted for gay marriage btw[/b].

When looking at schools, we knew GDS wasn't the right fit for our family.  [/quote]

How did you vote for it?  It's all been in the courts.[/quote]

I guess you missed that whole Maryland, November 2012 historic thing...[/quote]
