Now What?!!

It just dawned on me that the long dreaded birds and bees conversation has just gotten a bit more complicated. Now I not only have to stumble through the explanation of what is considered to be an acceptable heterosexual relationship, I must now provide an overview of homosexuality (at least I hope an overview will suffice for now). I will be the first to admit that I am still figuring out what a functioning heterosexual relationship should consist of, I have no idea what to say about homosexuality. I know nothing of what is considered the pros or upside except for the happiness those involved find. The list of cons go on and on, but who am I to judge. As a parent I think it best to stick to the facts as I know them, but just how honest should I be?
As a parent I am responsible to preparing my children for the real world. Exactly how do you prepare your children for what this world has to offer?

That was 3-24-15

Those aforementioned children are now young adults and seem to be handling the world just fine. Or as well as expected, I mean we are currently in an election season. I do not recall how the conversation went. I know the overview was that whatever decision was made around having sex it came with the possibility of lifetime consequences. It was the easiest most memorable household discourse we still have to this day. So just like the adoption commercials reiterate, there is no manual to parenting you just do your best and operate from a place of love.
