...and then I have a friend of mine when I said some of this that says that she wouldn't want to esplain homosexuality to a five year old )Which I love the girl, but wtf?)
...
And that wasn't even going into the polly stuff (Which makes her extremely awkward and uncomfortable like for serious)
...
(Jay had his own opinions, but I think I might let him speak them tomorrow when he's not so obviously annoyed by all this.
We're palyamorous in-collective (Not physically because no partner who seems interested yet) so this irks him a bit.
But that's easy! "Most of the time, women love men and men love women. Some
of the time, women love women and men love men. There is nothing wrong with
any of those ways to love." I mean, that doesn't get into other shades of
queerness or any shades of transness, but the hypothetical listener is,
after all, five...
No her point is that she doesn't think a five year old is old enough to comprehend even that, I think. That said, I'm a bit mor liberal fluid than she is. I'd explain it to a 3-4 year old if I knew they could understand it. But beuing what we are, I think that comes with the territory, yaknow?
Also, I wish there were esier ways to get society used to things like poly and things like that because this whole 'society stuck in monogamy' kinda irks me. Has for a while. As does "Polyamory is just fuck buddies" mentality that many have. Um..no, it's not. Say that to someone who is actually *poly* (Unlike us who are jus in-system poly) and hear them get pissed to shit at you.
Yeah, hi, I saw that film with an actual, flesh-and-blood five-year-old. Who is gay. (He doesn't know the word but he says that he's only going to date boys when he grows up, and lots of other things that make it pretty clear.) And I had to explain to him why they made the gay character a villain and a ridiculous one at that. So I'm not terribly sympathetic to this sort of 'think of the children' attitude.
Sorry about that. I don't like unsigned anon comments either, but I can't think of a way of identifying myself without outing a young child to the whole internet without his consent.

(Which wasn't your friend's point, I'm sure.)

I should write more stories with polyamory, probably...I mean, my audience is shit size-wise, but it's a start...
