[quote=Anonymous]Of our self-identified LGBTQ sixth graders the past five years, many were out by the spring of fifth grade so 10 doesn’t seem young. I knew I “like liked” boys by fourth or fifth grade and no one questioned whether I was too young because it fit society’s expectations of heterosexuality. Either 10 is too young to have any romantic feelings or it isn’t. We do this with so many things. If a child says at 10 that they want to be a doctor or an engineer, we accept it and even support them. But if they say that they want less mainstream career like being a mortician or a organic mushroom farmer, we think they are too young to know their own interests.[/quote]
