At first I was worried about how my kids would handle me coming out... I didn't know if they would be embarrassed, or try to lie about me being a Lesbian... Well... I got the answer loud and clear a number of times now... My kids have absolutely NO problem with their Mom's sexuality... First of all the eldest 3 wear Pride bracelets and if you ask them what they are they will tell you what they are and why they where them, that always makes me a little proud :) But the one that make me smile the most is Sister... I have pages from a calendar on my wall in my bedroom, my parents send them to me each week, the pages are of girls in bathing suit, its from a one a day calendar I got my Dad for Christmas, when the week is done my Mom sends me that weeks pages... So... Sister brings friends over to play once in a while, and for whatever reason they always end up looking in my room, I guess that is a girl thing, and the little friends ALWAYS ask Sister "Why does your mom have pictures of girls on her wall" and Sister just matter of factly tells them "Oh, that is because she is a Lesbian" and most of the time the little girls have to ask her what that is... lol.. cause they don't know... and Sister tells them "That means she dates girls instead of boys" and then she says something about lets go put on make up now, or are we going to watch TV, or whatever it was they were planning to do before the little girls got distracted by the girls on my wall... So Sister doesn't make a big deal about it and doesn't let her friends make a big deal about it either... once in a while I hear the girls ask Sister questions later when they are away from me and she just answers them like it is no big deal and then they keep playing... I am proud of my kids for educating others also, that is helpful in combating the hate :)
It also is nice to hear them tell me I am the best Gay Mom ever :D
ALL I want for christmas is..
