My friend Lindsay was raised by pretty liberal parents.

When Lindsay was about 6 her mother got her dressed up and they went to a commitment ceremony for a lesbian couple that were friends with Lindsay’s mom.

After the ceremony the inquisitive Lindsay asked her mother what a “lesbian” is.

“Well Lindsay,” said mom, “a lesbian is someone that really loves and wants to spend the rest of her life with her best friend.”

The idea sounded great to the 6-year-old Lindsay who later that afternoon told her best friend that they should be lesbians together.
