To most people, I think it would be a bit of an irregular family, because I do have two mums. As in, like, gay mums. But apart
from that, I don't really know anything else so to me my family's just normal.

I think our family's more typical than a lot of people do think. Both parents work, both kids are at school, they play lots of sport,
we do things that every other family does. It's a very easy going family, not very uptight, that kind of thing. And probably most
importantly it's loving. 

I would describe our family as fun, loving, carefree and gorgeous.

Harder things about being part of my family is doing interviews like this and having to
keep answering questions. No. Harder thing about being in a family like this is probably
the association with the word gay. At school everyone's like 'Oh that's so gay', 'This is so gay', 'Oh that's so gay'. 
And it's really annoying considering my family is linked to that. And probably also the fact that it's opened me up in the past to the subject of
teasing and bullying, being set aside, exclusion, that kind of thing.

It's really, really hurtful to see that somebody perhaps takes a dislike to your child because
of your relationship.

I mean it's horrible being excluded purely for one aspect of you that is either different or frowned upon for whatever other reason.
I was isolated in the playground and no one wanted to play with me because they were afraid they'd be lumped with me and also be cornered.

Kids if they'd come over, they'd want to know, and obviously they'd ask sometimes, 'Where's your dad?', 'Do you have a dad?', 'Did you
go there with your dad or not?' and I'd have to explain.

They've taught me to be accepting of everyone, no matter what race, skin colour, gender or sex or really anything. And they've taught
me to be probably the nicest, most trusting person that I can be. If my friends are being the worst, I have somewhere else to turn and
I have someone to talk to and someone to just explain and get it all out.

I go to a group twice a year that's called Rainbow Families or Rainbow Babies and it's me and a group of twenty other kids, a few
of which I'm very close to, all of which have either two mums or two dads. We all march together in Mardi Gras, that's a lot of fun.
And along with a sense of community you always feel like someone has your back.
