[quote=Anonymous]My children go to another independent school and my youngest is in K. They have a unit on families, where each children does a small project about their own family. My children obviously know they have classmates with "two moms", etc...There are a few same sex parent couples at our school, two of our friends happen to be gay men who have adopted a baby. My kids went to her first birthday party. They don't need to be "taught" about same sex marriage. They live in a city and see it around them, though more than one example, and I think that's a good thing. It is part of the world they live in. They also live in a family where there are no same sex couples and a neighborhood where there are no same sex couples that we know of.  There are books at school about all "different kinds of families" because frankly, there ARE different kinds of families. 
My own child brought up the topic that she might marry a women some day, she said that it was because then they could be the "same" and I smiled and said, "well, if that's what feels right to you when you are all grown up that's fine. The most important thing is that whomever you marry is nice to you , a good person and that you love being with them." She has no concept of sexual attraction nor will she for many years...
OP, don't sweat it.[/quote]
