[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 11. He has no idea who he is. My son told me he thought he was gay when he was 13. I told him that his sexuality was his alone and that it made no difference to me (the truth) but that I thought he was too young to start labeling himself as anything. We talked a lot about relationships and the ways in which people grow and mature. We talked about how being gay is just one part of who a person is. And of course, I reminded him that we would love and support him regardless of whom he chooses to love. He is 18 now and his only relationships have been with girls. I think he was questioning back then.

I think an 11 year old is ridiculously too young to have girlfriends or boyfriends. I'm concerned that you think it's appropriate. I wouldn't be concerned about his sexual orientation. It's concerning that you are encouraging any kind of girlfriend/boyfriends relationship. [/quote]

Please tell me how I'm encouraging him to have girlfriends or boyfriends? It's fun to go after people anonymously but you clearly didn't try to understand what the problem was. You can rephrase what I said and use that to change the topic to amuse yourself but it's  not constructive.
If you only knew how many times I told him that he is too young. He still wants to talk about it. All the time. And I wanted honest feedback because I'm really trying not to mess this up. Saying I don't want to talk about it also sends him the wrong message. This isn't easy so please back off if you can't help.
