Last night I was getting my daughter ready for bed. She had just gotten out of the shower and I was toweling her hair dry when the phone rang. It was T.
Me: Hello?
T: I just wanted to call and tell you I love you.
Me: I love you too. Let me finish here and I'll call you back.
T: OK. Talk to you later.
After I hung up the phone, my daughter asked me who was calling. I told her it was T.
"How come you told him 'I love you'?" she asked.
"Well, T is very special to me." I answered. (she is 7)
"I've heard a boy tell a girl 'I love you' or a girl tell a boy, but never a boy tell a boy." She continued.
Without getting into too much detail with her, I told her that sometimes boys like other boys and girls like other girls and that's OK. She seemed to accept that answer and went on to the next thing,
Almost a year ago, K and I sat down the 3 boys and we told them I am gay and T is my boyfriend. We did not tell my daughter because we figured she was too young. But we always said if she asked questions we would tell her the truth.
Today I did.

Some wise person once told me that "discrimination and hatred has to be taught" and he advised that I tell my kids I am gay as early as I could (in age-appropriate language and structure). I think he was right and I think your daughter helped to prove it.
I'm so glad for you (and T).
I like this so much!!!!! Great for you! And your daughter.
How Awesome, I can so relate, since coming out a couple years ago to my now 14 year old daughter (she love's to chat about boyfriends) - its so great to see so much acceptance these days & it starts just the way you got to share your love for T with your daughter & never more should it be an issue, your daughter will grow up with this as normal.
Aw! So cute!!
*hugs* :)
yeah, you did the right thing here :) - you'll always be their father, no matter what happens, and they will always love you. xxx well done, brave fella!
