This. It is amazing how people think 6 year olds need to hear that stuff. You can tell they haven't been around many school kids.

I think it's a pretty good idea to put it in their head that not all families are like theirs. Some of their friends might have two moms, two dads, one mom, or they might live with their grandparents. Families come in all shapes and sizes and that's alright. I doubt anyone is trying to teach anything more in depth than that because inevitably at this point kids will come across different kinds of families. Jesus, my family is a mess of a mixed family with three kids between 4 different parents, but all three of those kids are my family despite only one of them being blood related. Exposing kids to this isn't teaching them to be gay or straight or anything other than open to the fact that people love who they love and being a family isn't some cookie cutter thing.
