I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

i know that once they get to the age where they'll ask I'll answer honestly and tell them exactly that

Well for me, I really don't want to pop a child out of me so if I ever do adopt a child I'd never put any pressure onto their shoulders on who to love. I'll also be telling em that I love them no matter what. (Since I would hope you would love the child you've agreed to take care of/ popped out of you)

I wouldn’t want to teach anything. I can’t really say it well but I’d want my children to just do what their feelings tell them and not what the parent said is right.
If asked though I’d tell them that I think love exists in many forms and that anyone can love or anything or anyone and there’s nothing wrong with that.

*anyone can love anything or anyone (￣∇￣")

I think this is more a product of a Japan, that while getting more open about Homosexuality there are still gender specific roles. Kids don’t see other kids with two fathers because it’s just not possible. So to a child seeing the drawing they would think it was weird.

My children have seen that someone can have two mommies or two daddy’s, or a daddy that looks like a mommy or the reverse. I try not to shield them from the world in that sense.

lgbtq+ all the way. if my kids grows up to be homophobic or something imma smack some sense into them right then and there. no bs （/TДT)/

Coming from a homophobic family i always said that when i had kids i would teach them about being open minded and to understan that ding its okay to be themselves and to love who they love. When they became old enough to want to play pretend house with their dolls and stuffed animals sometimes I wouldi would pretend two guy dolls or two girl dolls would be married. I would do things like that so that they would know that love can exists like that also and that although we live in a conservative area that has a fainting spell every time a gay character is shown on tv (how ever breaf it may have been) that their isnt anything weird or strang about it. It's just two people in love. When they ask questions and want to know more about lgbtq+ issues i answer them as best as i can so that they can understand.
My youngest is tansgender. He asks the most questions and I try to always be available to answer him. He is bi. Even though he is young he has had girls and boys that he has had crushes on and we talk about it and how it makes him feel and I reassure him that it is not weird or anything like that. It's just who he likes and that is as normal as breathing or eating or being alive. You can't help who you love. For better or worse it's the person you love and that's just it. My kids know i am bi. I have never hid it from them and each of them have asked me why I married a man and not a woman and I tell them because your father is who I fell in love with. If I had fallen in love with and wanted to marry a woman then I would have done so and that would have been okay too.
My oldest is asexual (or maybe it aromantic). She is 16 (just turned) and has no interest in dating or boys or girls or anything like that. Every so often I will ask her if there's someone in her class that she might like or want to go on a date with and she always says no and that she thinks she is too young for dating and I leave it at that. I don't push her into it or nagg her about marriage one day or anything like that. She is happy the way she is and that is good enough for me.

Right????? THERE ARE TOO MANY DAMN SHIPS IN THIS HARBOR
