Which is ironic, kids are more capable of understanding it than a lot of adults seem to be. "Not all families are the same", done. If the kid is older and asking logistics, "Lots of ways, and they don't need to explain if they don't want. But sometimes women will ask a friend to help them with it"

Yeah, that is why I see it as using the kids as props. Rather than just say he doesn’t think lesbians should exist he can make it seem like it is bad or confusing for kids somehow.

My kid has never been confused by this because his best friend since kindergarten has two moms but also because *it's not that hard to understand.* Some kids have two sets of divorced parents but nobody worries about other kids struggling with that!

My daughter's school pre-school had a really wide variety of families, with number of parents varying from one to three, in all sorts of gender configurations. Never saw any of the kids get confused, but boy would they let an adult know if they said "mom and dad" about someone with same sex parents.
