(7,670 posts)Please bear in mind I didn't encounter an open gay person till I was about 19 and was aware of it, if that makes sense.
But, one of my friends growing up had two moms, I had to be reminded of this fact by my mother almost 15 years later. Everyone in the neighborhood were aware of their living situation, and the parents decided to not make an issue of it. I slept over there, playing video games, etc. The fact that he had two moms just didn't register with me, I was more interested in playing with Lego, or the NES he got first, or with his Foosball table downstairs. His parents served the same role they did for the rest of my group of friends, told us when we had to go to bed, cooked breakfast in the morning, and were generally just invisible otherwise.
