Pre-Gay

This is an adorable blog post by a mother of a six-year-old kid who has a crush on 'Blaine' from Glee.

"This isn’t a ‘he thinks Blaine is really cool’ kind of love. It is a mooning at a picture of Blaine’s face for a half hour followed by a wistful “He’s so pretty” kind of love.

He loves the episode where two boys kiss. My son will call people in from other parts of the house to make sure they don’t miss his ‘favorite part.’ He’s been known to rewind it and watch it over again…and force other to, as well, if he doesn’t think people have been paying enough attention.

This infatuation doesn’t bother me or his father. We live in a very hip-liberal neighborhood, many of our friends are gay, and idea of having a gay son isn’t something that bothers either of us. Our son is going to be who he is, and it is our job to love him. End of story."

I make mention of a character in "Every Time..." telling a story about how his very young son one day announced that he wanted to marry his friend. You'll have to read the book to find out who it is.
