I was at my sister’s place the other night and after the kids were in bed I was telling my sister and her husband about the video I posted here the other day of the little boy talking about husbands and husbands. My sister told me they’d had to explain to my nephew about the meaning of gay. I have no idea how it came up but they explained that sometimes men fall in love and marry other men. Apparently after a while, he said “Maybe Brenton will marry a man”. He’s never been told, as far as I know, that I’m gay…
I think that’s sweet. But if your nephew has a gaydar at such a young age, …
That is normal Brenton, believe me. I work with children, and for them it is logical when you don’t have a girlfriend maybe you can have a boyfriend. Children are not born with a mind that says that that is forbidden.
aww that’s too cue and I agree, hatred isn’t something you are born with but taught.
That is neat. I am happy you have someone that is thinking about you. I think you will meet the man of your dreams. The best is yet to come.
Kids can often be very perceptive
This proves beyond doubt that children are not born to hate but it is taught. Congratulations to your sister and husband for allowing this child to be so open about your sexuality. In my experience it is the parents perceptions that cloud things. My nephews in Sydney were 3 and 6 when I first flew out to Mardi Gras. They thought it cool that they had an Uncle who would come from cold England to party with all those men.
As if anyone would need to be told you’re gay.
