Three small personal updates in the wake of Orlando

A cross-post from my Tumblr:
I’d like to share with you how our youngest child learned and dealt with the shocking, traumatizing truth that same-sex couples can marry in the U.S.:
Our 10-year-old son: I love Lionel Messi. [A famous soccer player.]
Our 6-year-old son: Are you going to MARRY him?
10-year-old: No! He’s way too old for me.
6-year-old: Also, boys can’t marr...

Haha! Yeah, that would be complicated... We're getting about to the stage where we should introduce topics like that too. Yikes. But at least I hope they know we won't freak out if they're gay, no matter what other ways we may have messed them up. :)
