This morning my son told me that he was going to marry Autumn. Autumn or some other girl or boy that he loved. Then he told me that some kids at school told him that he couldn't marry a boy, and laughed at him because he thought he could.
I assured Carter, that he indeed could marry a boy if he wanted. That his Dad and I would support him in marrying who ever he wanted, so long as they were in a healthy and loving relationship.
Now, my son is in JK. I don't think he knows what 'gay' means, or if he is gay. We are raising our children to believe in equality for all, to be accepting of all, that you should be with who you love and, most of all, be yourself. So for him, saying he is going to marry a girl or boy, is just that. He will marry someone, someone he loves.
I am sad that he felt ridiculed for thinking he could marry a boy, but I am glad it didn't phase him, he is still saying "I will marry some girl or boy that I love."
