Parents, it is your JOB to protect your children (male or female) from gender bias and gender expectations at a young age. If your daughter grows up and wants to wear lace and ruffles, so be it. If your son grows up and wants to wear lace and ruffles, so be it….Let that be their CHOICE! Don’t make your girls wear “girly” outfits and make your boys wear “boy-ish” outfits….if your son wants to be a princess for halloween then go out and get him the best princess outfit you can find! If your daughter wants to be a football player or ninja or other “traditionally boy” type character, then go out and get her the best one you can find.
And besides, that lacy dress would be cold as shit on Halloween…..I say bundle them all up, head to toe!

We need to go back to this message and this kind of openness with children!

Wouldn’t it be nice if all the homophobes were to be blessed with a wonderful, smart, secure, nurtured, successful, gay child. Maybe then they could realize the error of their ways, and simply allow people to have all the freedoms that they reserve for their hateful selves.
