[quote=Anonymous]Can't totally help you, but I've also wondered about one of my sons. I've come to realize that a lot of it was just that some of his strong interests are more "girl" oriented. In early elementary, because of this, he had a lot of female friends and he picked up some more "girl-like" mannerisms. As he got older, a lot of this fell off. He's now old enough to have crushes and his crushes have all exclusively been on girls. My husband and I have always been very careful to talk to him in gender neutral terms when describing marriage, partners, "liking" someone, etc. I've read that a lot of gay people know very early on and experience same-sex crushes in the pre-puberty/tween years. I guess we'll see. He could still be gay. Like you, I don't care other than for his safety and all that. But it's a different world than when I grew up in many parts of the country (certainly not all), thankfully.[/quote]
