This year Lev, Em and I will attend a Pridefest, hosted by GLO, in the downtown area of our hometown! We're all pretty stoked, but It goes from noon to 9 pm, all together. We don't think we'll be able to stay that long, with my current discomforts. There's going to be some performances I'm pretty excited to see, and a poem reading I'm sure I'll bawl through.
I can't wait for our Little One to get here so we can take her to events like this. I really think there is something so special about a child's mind. It's so un-tainted to begin with, so free and loving. In my opinion, it's best kept that way. I look forward to teaching her to accept and love every life style, every difference, and every thing that she possibly can. Teaching a child these things isn't necessary, I've found. Unless told otherwise, I've never met a child that thought badly of gay couples, gay people, or for that matter minorities and other 'debatable' topics. Children laugh inappropriately, of course, because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that two men can't have a baby, which can make a child question certain aspects and what not about the relationship, but I've never found a child that genuinely dissaproved of a same sex couple, that was not coached otherwise. While this could go on forever, and I could get down to the nitty gritty and write a novel about it, I have only ever heard ADULT words come out of a child's mouth when they disapprove of such a thing. And that's my opinion on that. The end.
