If you want children, and your gay, how would you explain to your Son/Daughter, why she has two daddies?
Would one be more of a 'Mommy', qouls one just be a close 'Uncle?' then when they are older you'd explain it to them?
WHAT?! just wondering!

Beyoncé: Well, that's what I meant when I said girls. (Laughs)

I saw a video and a post on facebook that were about kids reacting to gay and lesbian couples. And they were VERY open-minded, cause they didn't have misconceptions about us. I would just say: you have two fathers that love each other very much and also love you very much"

Both of the mothers or fathers be called something different like Mum and Mere (which is mom in French) or Dad and Vati (German for Dad)

Well I would tell them the truth that they have two moms who love them very much, because if your the one raising them then they would have an very open mind to the idea for them it would be normal.

I would probably say something like "Because some people have just one mommy, and you were lucky enough to have two."
And then maybe when they were seven or eight explain to them what being gay really meant, and that they had another mommy and a daddy somewhere, but they couldn't take care of them, so we did, etc.

"Why do you have two dads? Well you know how _____ has a mom and a dad? That's because they fell in love, right? Well you have two dads because we fell in love too!"
The end. It's not really that complicated.

No one should ever, ever lie to their kids about something that huge. Imagine their feelings if you explain later that you lied to them? They might feel hurt or angry. Little kids begin their lives with open-minds, take advantage of that!!! The earlier you teach them, the better. Use dad and daddy/papa or something similar. Using Uncle or close family friend will just be confusing.

"There are lots of different kinds of families, but no kind is 'better' than the other. Your mommies can do everything that ____'s mom and dad can do, and we don't love you any less than they love _____."
When (s)he is older, we could explain to him/her in detail what being gay actually is. Hopefully, my partner and I can surround ourselves in a wide diversity of families (single parents, "traditional" families, different religions/ethnicities, etc) so we can draw from those examples to show our children that there's no "right" way to love.
We're all under the upper hand, and go mad for a couple grams. And we don't wanna go outside tonight.
