Or is what’s really happening is that your kid and you are getting all worked up over a few kids talking about being gay and you’re extrapolating from that in a homophobic panic?

Not OP. No one’s getting worked up over anything. Just sharing observations that clearly lots and lots of other parents if kids this age are observing.

Wrong. OP guessed that the MAJORITY of her large public middle school has some out as gay or bi, which is both unknowable to her as well as unadulterated bullshit. She’s a homophobe.

The only one getting worked up here is you.

Because I’m the only one who is outraged by the blatant homophobia on this thread.

DP. Can you please point to what in the OP was homophobic? Or really anywhere in the thread?

For starters, your extrapolation that it’s a “majority.” You’re afraid they’re all coming to get you and your kid?

Huh? First I’m not the OP. Second, no one has said this was a bad thing. OP add an observation and even said “maybe” and asked if others fond the same. How is that homophobic? Or are you just really angry for some reason and chose this thread to freak out on?

Ok, now that’s the first actual instance of homophobia here.

Your anecdote and personal experience proves nothing. Show your work.

Why does it make some of you so testy when we share these observations about our (mostly) daughters and their friends? I don’t get it.

Yea, right. OP started this thread because she thinks more kids coming out as something other than heterosexual is a good think. And you think it’s great too.

Ok. Sure.

She’s just saying explicitly what the rest of you are really thinking.

Again, how do you know? How are you tracking all of your son’s classmates and their professed sexual preferences from year to year? Do you call them? Call their mothers? And what time of year do you gather the data? At the beginning of the school year? The end?

Seriously. Tell us how you know this, and why it is that you care so much.

You need a dcum break. Seriously. You are way too triggered by a benign question.

Nope. But you’re clearly not someone anyone should bother engaging with.

Not the PP, but kids are really, really open about sharing how they identify, and equally into discussing how everyone else identifies. It’s not difficult to surmise whatsoever.

What city is this? Public or private school?

OP said public. And this is how it is everywhere.

No, it's a regional phenomenon.

For real. Go away. We are all sharing observations of what is going on as we know in the groups of our children’s friends

I don’t live in the DCUM region and I have observed the same where I live.

DP. Would you prefer we don’t say gay?
