Bolivar and Jessica Puyol, a young Latino couple living in the San Francisco Bay area are happy that their community is so gay diverse, because it will help teach their two little boys lessons about tolerance for all different lifestyles:

“Parents tend to immediately just assume their kids are going to be heterosexual until they get proven otherwise,” Bolivar added, laughing.

Like a sleepover gone terribly, terribly right. Er, awry. So, hey, why does Maddie have two dads and laugh whenever we mention “Build-a-Bear?:”

“Someday I imagine Francisco asking how come Madeline has two dads,” said Bolivar about his older son’s best friend. “We will just explain … people fall in love with someone [and] in our case a man and woman fell in love with each other, but other cases a man [and] another man fall in love or a woman and a woman fall in love.”

But why should Mami and Papi have to go through all the trouble of explaining the birds and the bees and the big, black strap-on dildos to their kids when they can just leave them in front of the TV?:

Yet help for conversation starters may be just a TV show, school, or an organization away.

The hit TV show Ugly Betty portrays the Suarez family, who loves and accepts Justin, a gender non-conforming pre-teen, played by Mark Indelicato. While the show never outright discusses that Justin might be gay, it shows that his family allows him to be himself and to pursue his interest in fashion, with the help of his Aunt Betty, who works at Mode, a top New York fashion magazine.

Well if living (watching TV) in New York has taught us anything, it’s that guys who are somewhat effeminate and into fashion are obviously gay. However, frat boys who pummel one another after a particularly sweet night of keg stands and red cups brimming with jungle juice are totally straight, bro. Have you learned nothing from television?
