Everyone who's ever fretted about how to talk to a child about gay marriage -- as though the basic concept is somehow infinitely more difficult to understand than straight marriage -- should be required to watch this video, in which little dude Calen processes the realization that his uncles are "husband and husband." In under a minute, Calen goes from, "What? Huh?" to "Ohhhhh" to "OK, bored with this now." I don't even want to spoil it by quoting him directly (if you can't watch or hear it, there's a transcript at AMERICAblog), so I'll just say it is compelling evidence that kids' fragile little minds can handle the concept just fine -- and watching them get it might just be the cutest thing you've ever seen.
Update: The YouTube video has been made private. It's unclear why -- although it occurs to us that Calen's uncles might be a bit spooked by their sudden viral fame.
