[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is celebrated on October 11th. That’s fine. Not sure why needs to be celebrated in 1st grade. Even if my kid is homosexual, I don’t expect them to come out in elementary school. Am I missing something ? [/quote]

I think this is more about exposure that there are different types of relationships. Maybe some of your son's classmates has two moms or dads? Even if they don't, they will in due time and by introducing it early, it helps normalize it and helps create a more inclusive and less homophobic society. [/quote]

On that note we don't have a foster day or single parent day or raised by grandparent/aunt/uncle etc - and kids realize that kids are raised in households like these without "normalizing" it.  I think it's strange to expect them to need a special day to understand this.  And btw my kids have a cousin (adopted) and raised by 2 dads (BIL and unmarried longterm partner). They don't need a special day for that any more than my kids need raised by hetero married parents.  They're 6 year Olds in 1st grade!!![/quote]
