Sometimes kids have the darnedest responses and sometimes they're the best.
When a little boy met a married gay couple for the very first time, he couldn't help but show his surprise. Then, he had some questions: Your husband's a boy? You're both husbands? So, that means you love each other?
After getting answers to all his questions, he simply moved right along with his day.
"Hey, I'm going to play ping-pong now," he said. "You can play if you want to."

(22,871 posts)You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

Kids are smarter than adults sometimes and handle things much better than grown-ups. This is one of those times.
He's a sweetie. And a smartie!

I can remember an episode when I was about 6. I overheard my mother and my Aunt talking about their friend Carlos and they said something about him being a homosexual. (This was back in the Dark Ages before Gay was in the lexicon). I asked what that meant and she explained to me that, instead of going out on dates with women, Carlos went out on dates with men. I think I said something profound like, "Oh, OK."
