I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:

Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?

We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.1

A wonderful comment on a equally wonderful article about the gay marriage issue of Archie selling out, despite boycott threats from conservative groups.

John Goldwater, The co-CEO of Archie Comics, also has a great comment:

As I’ve said before, Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone. It’s an idealized version of America that will hopefully become reality someday.2

There are so many things about the USA that I love. In fact I could definitely see myself living there. However some Americans narrow-minded views on others lifestyle choices is just frightening. Big thumbs up for Archie Comics for standing up for peoples right to love whoever they want.

Over the last year, I have moved all my non-code writing to Markdown format. I don’t even have Microsoft Word installed on my laptop anymore.1

An inspiring post about the greatness of Markdown2.
