The video in question, "That's a Family," was produced by Women's Educational Media and is touted as "a film for kids about family diversity," according to the company's website.

The video shows children of elementary school age in different familial situations, in an attempt to show the diversity of families and introduce compassion and understanding for different family types. The types of families in the video includes two-parent households, foster families, adoptive families, families with single parents, families with grandparents heading the household, interethnic families, families of varying religions, and families headed by gay or lesbian couples.

Cover your eyes and ears long enough..... and it will go away.  No?

Regardless how people regard these relationships, they do exist.  There are children in these families.  We will continue to ostracize them by neglecting them.  We just can't get past this thing.
