Very limited discussions. However, our kids do know that we are very tolerant people and we value people of all walks of life. My wife has become very tight with a lesbian couple that lives about 25 minutes from us. She's taken our kids to visit them several times now. My kids just see it as two mom's living together (they have a kid too).

I think my kids will pick it up very quickly as to why I'm not with their mom when they see her romantically linked with another woman. Thing is, my wife can still be in the closet for awhile before anyone suspects anything.

We've agreed to not introduce any new potential dates to our kids until the relationship is strong. My wife has already sort of done this by face timing her "friend" around our kids. My kids just assume it's a friend. The girl lives far away, so I doubt she'll have much influence in their life though.
