KID, IN EXACT SAME TONE: Doesn’t he have a husband and kids at home???
I remember the first time I saw this video. When it hit me, like a weight slamming into my whole chest, that this was going to be normal for kids now. When I was his age, I couldn’t have imagined people being so casual about this. When I was his age men couldn’t have husbands in the eyes of the law!
We have a whole generation growing up which says his husband and her wife with utter casualness. Which uses they/them and neo pronouns, and doesn’t even bother to wonder about the gender of a “partner”.
Happy pride everybody.
