We have been so proud of The Bubby this week. He and his boyfriend were named by their junior class Prince and Prince for homecoming. You can read what the Sacramento Bee wrote here. It was also mentioned in our local paper, The Davis Enterprise, saying "...[they] broke ground when they were named princes of the junior class, the first time Davis High students voted in a gay couple for such a high honor." And you can read, first hand, what it was like for The Bubby on his blog, Paris Garage.
For us, it has been an amazing experience to see how open, loving and accepting the kids are in this town. We were not sure what to expect at first, maybe 50 against 50 pro. Wrong! 100% support. When the original announcement was made at the spirit assembly, there were cheers, during the parade through Downtown Davis, more cheers and at the football game's half time celebration, more and more cheers.
So Awesome!
The Bubby and Brandon showed their peers and community the same dignity, grace and respect that were given to them. And for that we are most proud.

YAY!!! You guys rock as parents and I am SO impressed by Kiernan! What a wonderful role model Liam has -- hope all else is well in Davis -- hugs & kisses from Hawaii.
That's really sweet. Congrats to him and his boyfriend. I was reading all the comments from the Bee. Weird people seem to not get it. Um, hello...people voted for him for reasons way beyond who he likes.
