You want your kid to learn Spanish, hire a Spanish babysitter or get a Spanish CD with music and stories on it. Reading Spanish yourself will not teach the kid Spanish (or will teach the kid really bad Spanish full of mistakes in pronunciation.) Just my 2 cents.

I suppose the logic could go that if children learn about gays at a younger age, there is a higher chance that they might actually recognize and accept them as human beings, rather than a threatening national political issue.
