It really isn't a big deal to let your kids know that sometimes people fall in love and start families with members of the same sex.
Kids are very open to learning about the world, and will not be shocked or horrified to learn this. The people who have a problem with same-sex relationships are people who have been taught to hate.
Please, don't teach your kids to hate.
