Chance and I have been having a lot of conversations about Prop 8. I like that he always asks me questions and tells me what he is thinking. I answer what I think he can understand and what he needs to know.
Today he said, "So they are saying I could marry my friend Ndem? Are they just stupid!"
Not stupid Chance- that is not nice to say. They are just confused. .... (how do I explain that to a child; why a person is gay? I am not even sure)
Chance says, "That makes no sense because they could not have kids. A man can not get pregnant"
No, honey they can't. (I am glad he sees the logic)
"They could adopt though"
Yes, they could. (Again... I am a bit stumped on how to proceed in the conversation as I am awe struck at how much he understands and his common sense)
I liked this video I stumbled on to... How does same-sex marriage affect my family? My conversation with Chance proves that it does affect my family.
