6a00d8341c630a53ef015434bcd600970c 800wi 300x210 Gay Grandpas To Be Prove Gay Families Not Like Regular FamiliesThose gay families … they’re just so abnormal, so immoral, so unlike “regular” families. My proof?

These guys.

When these two gay dads are confronted with the news that they will soon be grandpas, they don’t completely lose it like a “regular” married couple would. Oh no. They handle it the gay parent way: “What? More kids? Sheesh.”

I kid.

I can’t stop watching this video — the joy is infectious and heartfelt and big enough to swallow you whole. In California, as in the rest of the country, we hear a lot of debate about gay marriage, and pretty much every time it’s brought up, someone goes and hauls out the children: “Won’t someone think of the children?! Having the gays raise children is just … wrong!”

Then I think of scenes like this taking place in kitchens and family rooms around the country, around the world. I think of our good friends and their time babysitting my daughter and how much they want to adopt and start families of their own. I wish more people could see the normalcy in these everyday scenes and begin to understand that it doesn’t matter who you’re attracted to when it comes to having happy families. Now I need to go watch this video again and inhale the joy.

My sons have gay granddaddies. They love them and see nothing abnormal about it.
