It is true, of course that the daily lives of gay parents are much like the lives of straight parents — picking up after the kid, staying up nights when he’s sick, going along on school field trips.  And indeed, the New York Times review notes that “the primary objective of ‘The Kid’ is to make the potentially confrontational seem all-embracing and prosaic.”  But does this erase gay culture?  No!  Because we (or at least the guys) can take it onto the stage and sing about it.
