This is so silly... my best friend for 8 years now has a son who's 1 year old... her "hubby" (they are living together, act like husband and wife so I call him Hubby) says their son is gay.

reasons why he said that is mostly he likes dolls. I know that's nothing. He likes pink... but that's because Eli... or however you spell his name, his sister, everything in her room is pink. when Elisha (the son) visists her as soon as he sees pink he knows he's at her house...

I told Jamie (my best friend) tell him to relax... think about it. he's just a baby... he has no sexual preference yet (our belief is that you figure out what you are as you grow older unless something unusual happens... i'm not going into that b/c that's not what's ondiscussion)

I know that if IF he turns out to be gay in his future Eli will love him just the same. I mean it's so hard for gay teenagers to come out to their parents but well...

What can I say if the subject comes up again. I want to help Jamie feel at ease, have good advice, and know it's too soon to figure it out. If IF it's possible it doesn't matter because he's their child I know Jamie and I know she'll be suportive of whatever lyes in the future.

It is silly, I'll agree!

You know, my husband used to be like that. "Dolls are for girls. Don't get him a kitchen" Yadda yadda. He deployed and realized that stuff was just stupid and the gender role stuff we have to break.

If he's just joking around with just her, that's one thing I suppose. However, if he's making these comments seriously thinking he's going to be gay like it's a disease, that's sad.

My boys love their baby dolls. Anytime I got a strange look, I said they were training to be daddies!

I think it's sweet he wants to play with his sister. heart

He knows being gay isn't a disease. They have proven you can be gay because of your brain.... (it develops and works like girls do, hense metrosexuals) and also I feel some do make a choise to be gay. But this is my opinion.... some based on fact, the feel... well part of it is I have a relgion and so I feel there is something more to life. when I die I'll find out the truth lol.

till then. Just want to have something good to say.
