James Broderick's questions about different families

Sarah Jessica Parker’s son, James Broderick, 4 1/2, is full of questions about different families after having friends at school which have two parents of the same sex. Sarah Jessica has said that she and husband, Matthew Broderick have sat James down to talk about the issue;

He goes to school with a lot of kids who have different families from his, so he’ll be like, ‘Jen has two mommas’ or ‘Charlie has two poppas’. And so we’ve been talking about what it is to be gay; I want him to understand it in terms that aren’t overwhelming to him. But he asks about everything. Death is a very big conversation piece.

Actually, the things that are far more complicated for me to answer are any kind of science questions. He has a really keen interest in science. I have basic fundamental knowledge — but I don’t know what he’s going to do about homework. I’m glad my husband’s smart about that sort of thing.
