Difficult and Traumatic

Found this via numerous sources in the comments on this article on the Archie comic featuring Kevin Keller's wedding. Commenter Kate P sort of tells it like it is:

I've been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:

Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?

Me: Because they're in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.

Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?

We're all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.

It's sort of astonishing that kids get it when the One Million (minus 960,000) Moms don't.
