[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My tween said one of her friends asked her if she was gay the other day. My DD didn't know what to say beyond "no" and "why are you asking?" Seems like an odd question for a kid to ask and DD felt really awkward and uncomfortable. I told her that her response was appropriate and asked if friend was asking others ... she did not know. The question really made my kid feel uncomfortable and I suggested she may want to talk to a teacher about it to put her at ease. Should I say something to the parent or just leave it alone?[/quote] No you don't talk to a teacher or a parent. There is nothing wrong with being gay or being asked about being gay. Sexual orientation / gender identity is a big topic in middle school. Being up front about sexual orientation is part of consent - keeps people from developing crushes or hitting on someone that isn't actually an option or wouldn't be open to that relationship. She answered honestly and that is that. [/quote]
