how will i explain this to my children

When I see conservatives behaving badly, I like to make a "how will I explain this to my children" joke. (This is a reference to the idea that queer people shouldn't exist in public because "how will I explain this to my children?" Umm, okay, it's actually not that hard to give simplified definitions of various queer identities to children. What is hard is the hypothetical conservative parent explaining why there's apparently something wrong with that.)

Anyway, now that I actually do have a child, my "how will I explain this to my children" is not so hypothetical anymore. So I thought it would be fun to post a roundup of tweets where I asked that question.

(Special shout-out to Erik for actually answering as if it's a real question, lololololol.)
