"I’m not trying to claim that any type of aunt is superior – all of them are wonderful," writes @brocklesnitch, a Sydney-based writer. "They love you and are excited to see you, treat you a little bit like an adult and spill secrets about your parents. Along with regular aunts, CGAs also have a strong alliance with Guncles (gay uncles) and Cool Young Uncles. "But the CGA is progressive, fun, cosmopolitan. "You can rely on her never to have children (except for the series of tabby cats she weirdly insists on calling her babies) and give you her undivided attention. It may just be the kind of kid I was and what I craved from life – but that seems to be the ideal. It’s a role I’m excited to fill." #parenting #gayaunty #gayaunt #parents #babies #australianwriters
