The other night my daughter (age 13) announced she has a boyfriend (her first). He happens to be African-American, although that didn't come up until her brothers and I went looking for him in her yearbook. Also, one of her good friends has two mommies. Meanwhile, one of my sons' (almost 16) best friends is (and I mean this in the most complimentary way) a flaming queen.
The kids take all of this for granted. This fills me with delight.
