Tig Notaro Reveals Young Twin Sons Had No Idea She And Wife Are Gay: 'I Was So Shocked'

Tig Notaro revealed her Pride Month got off to a "weird" start after her twin sons were surprised to learn that their two moms are gay.

The comedian sat down on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week when she made the revelation, telling the the late night host she was "stunned" when her nearly-8-year-old children had no idea.

“Pride month, I’ll be honest, it’s been a little weird."

"My wife and I found out recently that our sons didn’t know we were gay."

"They will be 8 this month.”

Notaro then explained how the conversation came about.

“Their school is six minutes away from our house, and at minute three we were in the front seat of the car talking about something about gay."

“Our son Finn leans forward and says, ‘You’re gay?’”

The Morning Show actor was floored.

“I was so stunned because we’ve lived together almost eight years, and I’ve been gay the whole time — even prior!”

“So, I was like ‘Yes! We are.’ I was so shocked.”

Notaro said she then tried explaining "what gay is," but she began to worry her son wouldn't like what she had to say.

“We’re like three minutes now from the school, and I start explaining what gay is. "

"And then while I was explaining it, I started getting insecure, thinking, 'what if he doesn’t like this?'”

But all was more than okay after Notaro asked:

“What do you think about what I just told you?”

And her son, Finn, gave the best response possible:

“Oh, I love my family."

Of course, as soon as Notaro and her wife, Stephanie Allynne, dropped the kids off, they shared their surprise that the twins had no idea.

“We drop them off at school and we’re like, ‘bye!’ and we truly drove off going like half-a-mile-an-hour, like ‘How on earth do our kids not know we’re gay?’ Because, dare I say, we’re also an iconic gay couple."

“I realized that even though there’s pictures of our wedding day and they know they have two moms, that doesn’t mean they know what gay is."

People on social media thought the interaction was both hilarious and adorable.
