My Brother's Husband, Volume 2 Quotes

“But what kind of adult says gay people are a bad influence on children? What if their child is gay? What if they want to...come out? If the people closest to them are their first enemies in their new, uncertain life...”
― Gengoroh Tagame, My Brother's Husband, Volume 2

“(Kana has been talking about her Uncles with her friends at school and her teacher, Mr. Yokoyama, has called her dad in because he’s concerned that it’s not an appropriate topic for school children and that she may be bullied for it in the future because “her situation at home is a bit unusual”)
Yaichi:
Yokoyama-san, are you concerned that she’s being raised by a single father?
Yokoyama:
Uhhh…
Yaichi:
I appreciate your concern, but it’s really unnecessary. You don’t need to be concerned about a single parent household. At least, no more so than for any other student.
Yokoyama:

Yaichi: Also, about Kana, if there is anything that makes her different, I… wouldn’t make her change on account of other people. As for the foreigner staying with us, he is my brother’s husband, and Kana’s Uncle. I see absolutely no reason to stop her from talking about her beloved uncle to her friends. If Kana is ever bullied for any of this, I would hope that, as her teacher, you would reprimand the bullies, and not the bullied child for being different.”
