I'm totally going with Louis CK on this one: http://i.imgur.com/eVBBh.jpg

No offense to your mother, but it's not that hard to explain. When parents say this, they're projecting their own discomfort with homosexuality onto their children, who I can almost guarantee you either don't care or won't be anywhere near as confused as their parents seem to believe.

I know

and what made it more awkward. I'm bi, so... having my mom say that is just really irritating.

Great, you think my attraction is so inappropriate it should be banned. fantastic. nice to know, mother.

(I mean she doesn't know and that solidified that I'm not telling her anytime soon.

and that's exactly what it is. Children will probably accept it if you tell them simply. What they usually mean is "how do I explain this to my child and make sure they know how WRONG it is"

Yeah, I wouldn't let that cat out of the bag until I was out of the house and financially independent. There's no guarantee your parents will be jerks about it, but better safe than sorry.

IMO, parents who say that might vehemently deny being homophobic, but there's obviously some deep, dark reason why they think that explaining what homosexuality is might be too inappropriate for kids. I mean, have you see how weird childrens' TV is? If nobody needed to explain what the hell the Teletubbies were to little kids, then gay people aren't going to be a difficult topic. And anyway, explaining stuff to your kid is what you signed up for by becoming a parent, so quit whining.

LMAO, I love this :D. Good point.

THANK YOU. This. Explaining things is how kids learn, for fuck's sake.
