AMERICAN PARENTING NIGHTMARE!

[captain_slinky]

While watching Modern Family tonight, Molly asked us the question that popular right-wing media has taught me that all good parents dread; she asked "What does GAY mean?"

To paraphrase talking points recycled from the past twenty-some years of everything from Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell to Prop 8, what am I supposed to say when my child asks me that question? What am I supposed to say???

I told her "Gay mans when a boy loves a boy or a girl loves a girl".

"Oh, okay." And back she went to watching the show.

OMG THEY WERE ALL SO VERY RIGHT ABOUT THIS NIGHTMARE!!! WHEN DOES IT ALL END???
