Closet? What Closet?

“Mom, Dad, I’m home.”

“Hi son, how was school today?”

“It was alright. By the way, I think I might be gay.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah, I was watching Six Pack while we warming up for gym class, and I felt kind of…excited, if you know what I mean.”

“Huh. Well, are you going to ask him out? He is pretty hot.”

“I don’t think so Mom; he’s not really my type. Besides, honestly, I feel kind of awkward about it. Is that weird?”

“Not at all; all the experts say that there is usually an ‘adjustment period’ when a pony realizes that they’re homosexual. If you like, I can help you find some books on the subject.”

“Thanks Dad.”

“So have you thought about what you’re going to do when you decide to have kids?”

“Um, that’s a long ways off from now Mom.”

“Because adoption and surrogates are all well and good, but temporary sex-change spells are perfectly safe if you want something a bit more traditional.”

“Mom!”

“It would be nice to have a daughter, even if just for a little while.”

“Argh!”

Author's Note

In a land where gay marriage has been legal for centuries and nopony can actually recall a time when such relationships were even remotely taboo, this is how a kid would probably come out about his or her sexuality.
