Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Boy Who Loved To Sew

This episode - Larry Vs Michael J Fox - aired last night in the States.
Hilarious.

• By synchronicity, Brian Palmer asks on Slate today; "When do gay kids start 'acting gay'?"

The Princess Boy: "Look! He is adorable!!!"

There's a lovely piece on a lovely story by Tim Teeman in today's Times; 'Pretty in pink: the princess boy'
"Dyson, 5, wears dresses every day and he loves sparkly tutus. His parents explain why they decided to tell the world."
This has got quite a bit of coverage in the States - some of course wondering why the heck the kid hasn't been seized by social services.
But as there's been so much in the US media recently about gay and effeminate kids killing themselves, you'd think people would applaud and be moved by the acceptance and pride shown by the parents in their son, Dyson.
Would people prefer it if they stuck with tradition and tried to beat it out of him?
Mom has written a childrens book, My Princess Boy - which is being republished by big hitters Simon & Schuster next month.
My favourite quote comes from Dyson's dad.
"Dean, a sports-mad jock dad, whose “man cave” has its own TV and a wall of football jerseys, says that he was bought up to accept people for who they are. “I’ve had other dads say, why are you letting him dress like that? I look right past it. I see the happiness in his eyes. If, later, he looks at the pictures of himself now and says, ‘Dad, I can’t believe I did that but how cool was it that you supported me’, we’ll have won.”
Here's the local TV show that broke the story last month with an interview with the whole Kilodavis family.

Survey: Parents OK With Gay Kids (Relatively)

66% of British parents questioned in an in-no-way unscientific survey commissioned to promote some DVD or other said they would have no problem if their child was gay.
Mums were more relaxed - 76% saying they wouldn't be bothered if their child was gay.
But 55% of dads admitted they would feel uncomfortable.
But please bear in mind that twice as many parents say they would be happy with a gay kid as they would with one who experimented with drugs (32%).
Any kids caught by their parents after staying out all night dancing on blood boiling rave dugs are advised to lie and say they've been out bumming.
