A few years ago I was looking over my
cousins’ bulletin board of family photos, Christmas cards, and other meaningful
family treasures. I gazed over a one particular card that was darling but I
quickly starred back at it when I realized it was a picture of two men and a
little boy. Later in the evening my aunt told us about this gay couple who had
chosen to adopt a son. She seemed generally accepting of the situation because
she knew one of the men and agreed that he was a good guy. I was unsure of how
to respond or what to add to the conversation but my heart worried for that
adorable little boy. Who would be his mother? What would he be taught about
gender, intimacy and family?
