Advice from Mommies, please.

A friend from work invited me to her partner's shower. They are having a baby girl.  I found a cute little onesie that says "I love my Mommies" but hesitated to buy it.  I don't know the politics behind someone not super close to them buying something like this. To me it says, "Hey, I found a unique onesie that I don't know if you know exists and I thought you'd like it." but I don't want the moms to interpret it as "I'm so cool. Look how down I am with your lifestyle." I'm sure they get bombarded with both extremes every day - people who are opposed to their lifestyle and feel they have the right to tell them, but (what I assume would be equally offensive) also people who approve of their lifestyle and want to make a big spectacle out of how much they approve and how great of a humanitarian they are for approving.

Am I over-thinking this? Should I get them the onesie?

TIA!

Re: Advice from Mommies, please.

  • You are right that it can go both ways.  I have a few friends that still annoy me with their need to prove they are "down with the gay."  However I treasure the two 'gay' onesies we've gotten.  It's a very thoughtful gift and I'm sure your friends will appreciate it. I vote for buying it Yes

  • When DW and I got hitched, a distant and much older relative of mine gave us a wedding card with a picture of two brides on it. It meant the world to me. I also vote for buying it!

  • I think you're probably over-thinking it.  It's a onesie, not a tattoo.  It sounds really cute- you should get it.  I'm sure the mommies will appreciate your support.
  • I got a bib at our shower from one of our straight friends with that on it. Didn't think twice about it. Annie has worn it a lot. I would say go for it.

  • I say go for it.  I think most people will think it is cute.  I wish I got one of those at our shower.

  • I agree with the above posters. I don't think a onesie screams how accepting you are. Now if you wrap it in rainbow paper with a rainbow bow with a a rainbow card....Stick out tongue
