Hmmm I was about to post that I thought this was inappropriate, but this well-written post has made me re-think that. Thanks, PP!  That said, I do think it's something hard to actually *explain* to a child.  I had a hard enough time explaining MLK to my 3-year-old, and that's even something she can SEE (as in, she sees different skin tones, knows her parents have two different skin colors, etc.) [b]I don't really know how I'd explain that people love differently, when she doesn't even really understand the concept of love other than a familial-type thing[/b].[/quote]

I think people really overthink this.  My kid, who is four, can understand that Aunt Jane is married to Uncle John, and Uncle Joe is married to Uncle Bob.  She cannot understand why some people would think that Uncle Joe and Uncle Bob, whom she adores, are perverted and going to hell, but I don't need to worry about that yet.  I just need to teach her that there are different ways to make a family.  Sometimes, a mommy marries a daddy, but sometimes, a mommy marries another mommy, or a daddy marries another daddy.  And all the mommies and daddies love their children.  [/quote]
