Because who wouldn’t take parenting advice from Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
Via US News:
[M]ore seriously though, Wasserman Schultz recalled – in an interview with Julie Mason on SiriusXM’s POTUS channel – having to explain to son Jake what “being gay” meant when he was just in fourth grade. She realized after he asked, that at this moment, “OK, I am standing on a crossroads here in my child’s life and this is the moment when people either turn their children into bigots and narrow-minded individuals or they have an opportunity to open their eyes to tolerance.”
Wasserman Schultz, a pro-gay marriage Democrat, chose the latter. “And I explained to Jake that there are some people who are born and they’re attracted to the opposite sex – like your mom and dad – and other people who are born and they’re attracted to someone who is the same sex and neither is preferable, they’re both normal,” she recalled saying. “And that there are some people that think it’s only OK to like somebody of the opposite sex.”
Fast forward to several years later and Jake is 12 (he’s 14 now). He’s driving with Wasserman Schultz and they’re listening to a report on the radio about the gay marriage controversy. “And all of the sudden Jake blurts out, ‘who really cares, who people marry?'” Wasserman Schultz said. “And I said to myself, ‘my work is done here.'”
