Is my child going to be gay??????

19 Comments

Where is dad or a father figure? This kid should be doing boy things at this point in his life and not trying to be a girl. This could just be a phase he is going through but if you want him to grow up normal and straight then dont encourage him to do this you should spank him for it so he does not continue.

yea you must be a single mom. my boy likes to wear my heels, and play with my make up. he even likes to try on my underwear over his pull-ups, he is only two, so I don't really know. I'd suggest, if he doesn't have a father around, to set him up with one of those programs where an older boy takes him somewhere to do guy stuff with.

Well this will be easy to say you're boy will be one of the worlds gayist people. In do time he will pay the price...

He might be gender reasignment I think they call it. Does he like mermaids if so this is one of the signs. It might be just a phase hes going through. I suggest you beat it out of him and get him to Harden the fuck up.

At the age of eight, this does seem somewhat unusual, particularly if it represents an abrupt departure from his usual play activities.

Whether or not this behavior signals a tendency towards future homosexuality in your child remains to be seen, but I think it's worth discussing this with a professional to set your mind at ease. Your son should be aware at his age that such behavior is likely to cause discomfort amongst his friends if it is discovered, at the very least, and for that reason alone, his motivation for the behavior should be examined and discussed.

Well, I MIGHT try going to work. My doctor was able to move up the appointment I was trying to get for some diagnostic work, so I may try to get some stuff done at the office. If not, I'll just hang around here and try to get to feeling better.

Thankyou to all that sent back opinions to me. Just to clear somethings up, yes Iam a single mum, but i have been with someone now for three years. Even though we dont live together my son still gets alot of male figure time. I live next door to my brother so he is around males all the time. This is not an issue.

It is something all lads go through and will have absolutely no impact on his sexuality. You say you have a daughter as well. I find myself wondering if he is actually looking for the attention you give her? Do you spend more time or make more of a fuss of your daughter? Perhaps the wee sole is just looking for a bit more love and or attention!

I am a ferverant believer in your genes defining youe sexuality along with the first 4 years of your life. These are the areas that define us and make us the men or women we grow up to be. Some believe it is the first 7 years but I believe it to be 4.

Treat him like any other kid and certainly the same as your daughter. make sure you spend equal quality time with both of them and I think you'll find the problem will solve itself.

if he isn't wearing his sister's panties for sexual pleasure than he definitely is gay

my brother was a mommas he hes a fag now

So it runs in your family then! Thats two of you. Any more we should know about? What about gay sisters?

actually i am nothing like my brother

Yeah. Still at home; not much happening at the moment. When are you going to make me breakfast, eh? ;-)

Hello nearly, I did apprieciate your opinion bout giving more attention to my daughter, but that is just not true. I love and treat my kids as their individuals they are. I have spent alot of one on one time with both of them. I take my son on mummy son outings and we have time at night to ourselves when his sister goes to bed. He has all the attention he needs and I show them the same love as they are both so different.

anybody see that movie "the hot chick" and that lil boy would always wear her heels, clothes, and make-up.

Then I wouldn't really worry about him. He will develope his own character and be himself. Hopefully with your full support either way!

gay people dont wear girls clothing...thats transexual...FUCK AMERICA

I don't know what most of you are talking about. Just because a 8 year old is wearing woman's clothing, dosen't mean he is not normal or gay. Maybe he is trying to see what it is like from a females perspective or to see if anything differs when he puts on this stuff. The same thing happened to my brother and guess what, he isn't gay!!! He is happily living with his girlfriend. Even if he does turn gay, like you said, you will always love him and that's all that really matters, not his sexuality.

Thank goodness you express your love to him regardless. He may or may not be gay. However, he just needs to know he is loved and supported no matter what. If you continue to show him you love him he will turn out well, whether it be gay, straight, Bi or whatever. Sounds like he is on his way to exploring his own desires and you have made him comfortable to do so. Kudos to you! He will be whatever he will be either way. He will do it with or without shame. Please continue not to shame him.

When I was younger I played with cars and trucks as well as dolls and kitchen playsets. I lived with my father, mother, my two older brothers and one older sister. Today I am totally comfortable & confident with my identity as a gay man. Most men who are hostile towards LGBT people are insecure and haven't yet come to terms with their own bi-curious tendencies. When confronted with a sexually-inexperienced gay man for instance they will ask questions like "How do you know you don't like girls if you've never been with one?" I honestly have no idea how anyone can feel superior to someone else for something they themselves had no control over (i.e. being a man, being white, being born into a rich family, etc.) Keep on being supportive of your son by reminding him that he can come to you to talk about anything and he will turn out just fine.
