He is afraid of having to have the conversation with his grandkid about gay people having a baby due to the content of a kid’s movie.
Sort of like how a grandparent would be uncomfortable discussing procreation with their grandkid. Shit, parents are uncomfortable discussing that with their own kids and that is a far easier and more straightforward thing than discussing sperm donors.
He is scared that a kid’s movie will inspire questions that he is uncomfortable answering as a grandparent.
Why is the assumption by these people that there is a sexual component required in the explanation? Age appropriate explanations are easy.
“Know how some families have one mommy and one daddy? Some families have two mommies or two daddies instead.”
If the kids ask about the actual mechanics of procreation they are old enough to hear something like:
“Some couples adopt or they find someone to have a baby with who helps them make a family.”
Was there any need to mention surrogacy or donors? No. Kids don’t need to oversexualize queer people. Adults don’t need to over sexualize queer people! When people are sheltered from our existence until they are in their early teens they tend to think of gay couples as explicitly just sexual relationships rather than romantic or family building ones that are as dynamic as straight relationships because they were introduced to them as a sexual mechanics first kind of way. It’s dehumanizing.
I remember when old people were boycotting Frozen because it didn’t have the traditional “boy saves the girl” narrative. They thought it would inspire uncomfortable questions from their grandkids.
Did boss baby raise fears in parents that they might have to explain procreation? If no, then two mothers shouldn’t.
And just telling a kid that every constellation of parents are possible, it’s just that some matchups are more common than others doesn’t seem like daunting task.

Fuck people who think like this.
What will he do when his grandkids learn about his history and the incarceration and accusations, I’d be afraid of that more if I were him
I don’t think kids can even procounce or comprehend the words ‘artificial insemination’.
Here’s a phrase that every child can understand, “science made it possible”.
