I would have been horrified by that as a kid. But I was also horrified by seeing heterosexual people kissing on TV as a kid. I was very equal opportunity on my opinion that they should fade out already!
A FB friend (girl I knew in HS) posted something along the lines of "eeeeeeeeeeeK, the anti-homophobia ads! I have nothing against gays, but it is hard to explain to your 6yo who says "What's THAT, mom?". Really? It is not like we see them naked in bed doing the deed or something...Why would the 6yo be horrified? My 5.5 yo asked me last week if she can marry her girl best friend. I said yes, of course. Aren't they at the age where it shouldn't be horrifying? Me thinks the mom is the one who is horrified seeing two men or two women kissing, not the kid.
ding ding ding! I was actually thinking this before I read it. The kid isn't uncomfortable, the mom is.
I agree it's the mom that is uncomfortable and not the daughter.
We ALWAYS say "Your future husband or wife" because Edith is well aware that you can marry whomever you love. Right now, she's pretty sure she's marrying both of her besties (Dani and Jack) and I have never and will never say she can't. If they're of age and willing, I don't care.
