I came by this video via an email listserve for gay dads. It’s a Dutch kid singing about having two gay dads, and it’s pretty cool. But then, I’m probably a little biased. >
Can you imagine the response if a kid appeared in American television, happily singing about having two dads? In front of an audience full of kids? And if they sang along with him?

We’re on a bit of a family vacation this week. So posting may be sparse, though I do have one in the works.
I was wondering why my face hurts and why I have a splitting headache. Then I realized, I’ve been clenching my teeth all day. Probably because of the morning I’ve had, and because Pepco’s outage map indicates that my journey home will longer due to signal outages, and when I get home it will be hot, dark, and without much to do.
Just keeps getting stranger and stranger. “Triple Murder Suicide Plot”?
Ooops. So much for teaching kids to “always tell the truth.” Apparently, toddlers who tell lies make for more successful adults. I’m not sure if that says something important about child development, or something sad about the kind of society we live in.
I’m chaperoning the first grade field trip to the national zoo this morning. Wish me luck!

Wow! Powerful stuff. Seriously, I almost got a little teary there.
Laboratorian?
Singing about Two Fathers…
Terrance linked to this video on UTube. It’s a kid, in the……
I loved it! We in the US will get there someday.
I’m as straight as they come, but that was awesome. Two people who love each other are the best parents for a child regardless of sex and orientation.
I grew up in Western Michigan (22 minutes from Zeeland, 20 from Overiesl, and 27 from Holland). No matter how many times I am made aware, progressive Dutch people or culture is so surprising. An example, Holland is home to the Family Research Council. Perhaps readers of this site have heard of this group.
I forwarded the video link to the folks back home…Thanks Terrance.
Just letting you know, I placed a link to this video on my blog today, it’s always going to be a statement in itself.
