You should have included context, but even then there likely isnt a reason to explain it further than telling them its normal. Like how different people like different flavors of ice cream.

Here’s the context. I’m closeted and trying to help my sister not become a conservative nutcase. She’s in a church school so I have to act fast while I still have time. Thank you for the advice tho

Explain it as “People love each other. Sometimes it’s a boyand a girl. Sometimes it’s two boys or two girls. (Not getting into enbys since this is 101.). And sometimes people, whoever they love, want to build a life together.”

Sounds good. Sadly telling her directly is a risk as I probably will be outed. Is there another way I can do it?

Just be careful because she might tell your family about what you talked about. Not out of maliciousness just curiousity.

And the religious crowd loves to hate gays for talking to kids about it because they consider it to be “grooming” or whatever. Funny there is a sub on r*ddit called arethestraightsokay that pointed out how hypocritical straight people/parents are. With the weird clothing for babies/kids with some damn near outright sexual writing on them.

Yeah, I heard of that sub and her telling has happened when I was testing her critical thinking
