Kids! They say the darndest things! Like how little girls sometimes say they are going to marry their brother’s girlfriends, all out of spite and jealousy. This makes them cuter. But not gay. [MomLogic]

The wonderful part is how supportive this mother is and will be. The last paragraph she says when her daughter gets married whether there is a bride and a groom or two brides it will be a great story to share with the guests. It’s nice that a parent is open to that possibility and doesn’t threaten or scare her at all.

@Tim W: Yeah, and the fun is that it completely pierces the child’s petulant tantrum.

Haha, cute. Spitefully gay XD I it ended
I don’t understand what some ppl who commented (who have gay friends) are stressing about explaining to their kids.. Some girls/guys like girls and some like guys. You can’t explain why a guy likes a girl and never need to so why is it any different as to why a guy likes a guy?
We were watching a TV show where they made over a couple’s garden and it was two guys. I hadn’t notice either cus a)non-straight didn’t seem notable, b) i thought they were friends or c) i wasn’t paying attention to the show, i can’t remember. My parents just said, “did you know two men can be a couple too?” Simple. Maybe some kids would ask more questions in which case just say something like “it’s one of those things that just is, if a boy sees a nice and pretty girl he might like her, some girls like girls too for the same reasons, nobody knows why who likes who” and tbh since science is not sure about the gay thing it’s hardly lying to them that you can’t explain fully, surely kids ask a ton of things that nobody knows the answer to. Why is this one a bigger deal?
