The day our new president took office I hung a huge brand new rainbow flag high on the side of our house! When I'm in my kitchen I can see it & it gives me a nice feeling! (Although I fear it being ripped down)

When I hung it, I had to sit down with my 3 kids & explain things to them. Like what it means, why we fly it & how people might tease them or even accuse them or someone in our family of being "gay!" Kids love that word. But basically what this flag means to us all.
We had a great discussion about equality, labels, sexual orientation & especially slang words.
I love being so open with them about this subject & being proactive here. Knowledge is power & I wanto give them that!

I wish my parents did this for me.
Carry on!
