Instilling a sense of family pride is vital to every member of your family. Children of gay parents need to be raised with awareness of the world on the whole. They should be taught tolerance (as should all kids, but that’s for another post), but they also need to understand that not everyone feels the way they do. To raise kids without them having any awareness as to the names and words they could hear growing up, could cause them even more upset and confusion that they would have to deal with otherwise.
