Meredith York Carter’s TikTok video has gone viral with millions of views and tens of thousands of comments. Users are celebrating her simple explanation about what it means to be gay to her four-year-old daughter, Ellie.
As one user replied, “Every parent who says, ‘How do you explain this to a child’ needs to watch this video.”
Mom captioned the video with the phrase, “The mind of a four-year-old is a beautiful thing,” and Ellie proves the point in an adorable way.
The TikTok shows Ellie telling her mom that she is gay. Carter patiently explains, “Gay is when boys love other boys and girls love other girls. Like, they get married to them. I, unfortunately, am not gay. I am married to daddy who is a boy.”
This did not sit well with Ellie, who is obviously disappointed in her mother and afraid that she, too, doesn’t belong in her favorite demographic group. As she pouts, she mutters, “I guess I’m not gay.”
“We don’t know yet. You’re too little,” Mom reassures her. “You might be or you might not be and no matter what, it’s okay.”
