This video just underscores that. Argh….don’t have much to say….except that many parents are actually lying when they tell their child(ren) that their love for them is “unconditional”.

One guy: "Would you rather have a daughter who is a total slut and has like tons of diseases, or a son who was gay?" All guys: The slut, so my kid's not gay!!! Seriously? Some people at my college disappoint me to no end... and I fear what kind of parents they will grow up to be. Reminds me just enough of a comment overheard today at a nearby lunch table…

His grandmother is always making him keep his hair short and yells at him when he puts on dresses and likes to ask him if he's a boy. It breaks my heart that they wont just let him wear a freaking dress while playing dress us with his older sister. I knew a family whose son liked to wear dresses and make up, so the agreement was he could wear whatever he wanted to at home and when they went out as a family, but to school he had to dress like a boy. They lived in the deep south though, and I really believe this was more for his safety then anything else. I liked their way of handling it.

Not kidding. When I have kids, I won't limit them in terms of gender expression.
