How to accept gay pride gift...?

[Pogobaby1]

My sister-in-law is gay and has a g/f who has a 2 year old son. She told my husband and me that she is going to get us a baby tee-shirt that says 'I love my gay aunt!' We both accept and support her lifestyle, but we don't believe she should be allowed to use our baby as her gay pride poster child.  She and her g/f don't wear gay pride clothes nor make their toddler. I need help on addressing this issue when she decides to give us the gay pride babywear. I don't want my baby's picture on FB in the tee either.

She should get a shirt that says I love my awesome aunt. Or my aunt rocks!!! Best auntie in the world. My aunt is better than your aunt! Buy it and show her. She would probably laugh! She just probably wants to be included...

Tell her what you stated. no matter how nice you say it, if she wants to take it the wrong way she will but hopefully she understands and it doesn't take it the wrong way. No one can decide but you and hubby what you put on your child she will just have to deal with it.

I'd sit down privately with your sister and her gf and have an open and honest talk about how you feel about it. It might hurt their feeling more if your not honest. Let make sure you get the point across that's it's not about shaming or anything its about a personal and comfortable choice you and your husband have made.

I would let him wear it around the house when you feel like it, not necessary to her being present because you can take close up pics with the shirt without his face but if she took it, it would be his face included. Don't feel bad, although i have no bias, i wouldn't parade my son around in it either. It's like saying hi i have a African aunty or a tall one. Who cares. It's your child!  You let him wear whatever you want him to wear.

It's not that big of a deal to Let the child wear the shirt Unless you have a underline issue with homosexuals....

This is difficult as I am having an issue with it right now with my sil her fiancee and my three year old daughter.  My daughter loves my little pony and rainbow dash, a character on Milo, so every time my silver is around she is always making comments about how my daughter supports her and is probably gay because she likes that specific character. I love my silver and her fiancee they are two of my best friends, but I do not think that it is appropriate to make those comments to a 3 year old in either direction even if she is trying to be funny. I have always said that it will not matter either way, but I think that's a discussion my husband and I should have with our children when the time comes, and not at 3. I am sorry I cant help with any advice as I have no idea how to handle the situation.
