This happened a few days ago but it seems to be festering. Maybe if i can write it down then I can let it go.

Saturday night me, my husband and his son were sitting in the living room watching movies. We were watching tower heist (which was alright) and there was a spot on there where they went on about lesbians. It was a bit excessive however I have never kept things from the children in my home. I don't agree with the life style, which is why I don't live like that. I have friends that are gay and are the coolest, nicest people I have ever met. My SS12 went on a rant about how much he hates gay people. I wont say the words he used but they were super offensive. His dad didn't seem bothered by his out burst but I sure was so I said something to him. I talked to him about how when he is being so judgmental that it looked poorly on him, and how he doesn't need to agree with the life style but he needs to be respectful. He got mad, threw a fit and went into his room. My DH said "Kids will be kids".

Will kids really be kids? My boys don't act or talk like that, and maybe because they are younger and haven't been exposed to it but I would like to think I have educated them enough to not be so judgmental. I know there are many people who don't agree with teaching our children about such a lifestyle. However, I truly believe the only way to fight judgmental and prejudice behavior it needs to start with education. I am not inappropriate with them about it. But they know there are people who choose different life styles and thats ok.
