Omg! So there was this kid (probably 6-8 years old) that came into McDonalds and he had a beaded bracelet and I noticed it was very colourful and I saw the word “LOV∃” on it. I thought it was very cute so I said to the kid “oh, I love your bracelet, where did you get it?” He got super excited and said “Thank you! I made it myself” He spun it around a bit and I realized it said more than just “love” so I asked him what it said “All love is good love!” I wasn’t sure if he meant platonic vs romantic etc or straight vs gay etc. since he’s just a kid. So I asked “Oh yeah? What kinds of love are there?” “Um…When a girl loves a boy…that’s good love. When a boy loves a girl….that’s good love. When a boy loves a boy…that’s still good love. And when a girl loves a girl….that’s good love too.” “So when I love someone is that good love?” “Yes it is! Who do you love?” “A girl named Hannah, she’s my girlfriend” “Are you gonna get married?” “I hope so” “I hope so too! Are you both going to wear dresses?” “I’m not sure, why?” “I think girls look extra beautiful in dresses” “Me too” There was a moment of silence when he was just super happy and smiley and he didn’t say anything so I asked. “What made you wanna make that bracelet?” “My parents said boys kissing boys is bad but I think it’s good so I made the bracelet to say it’s good. And my friend said that rainbows are gay so I did all the rainbow colours.” “Your parents and your friend are silly, huh?” “Yeah they are…it’s ok I’ll teach them!” “Be careful when you do, ok? I hope it goes well!” “Thank you! I hope you and your girlfriend have good love forever!” “Thank you!” And he went off to the playplace to go have fun.
