I've never seen the prom scene. I'll have to find it. But that seems like a place to start. Interesting insight on the "romance" question. Being open with children about the issues and knowing same sex couples is key for them to grow up with healthy attitudes I think. I have to interject my own favorite child story on the question here. My son was invited at about age 11 to go on a camping trip with a classmate. I hadn't met the parents, so I made arrangements to meet them. I first asked my son what they were like--his answer was "just like you and dad." When I met them, I discovered they were two lesbian women from Texas. His dad and I could not have been more different on the surface, but our attitudes about child-raising and tolerance and intellectual interests were remarkably similar. I was delighted with my son, felt like something about what I had tried to communicate to him had reached him.
