[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, it's pretty clear to me that this was the wrong place to ask this question.

But, might I suggest that those of you who are actually telling a gay person that gay fashion means nothing, especially today, might want to check yourselves before you wreck yourselves?  Especially if you have gay kids, maybe try to be more open minded?

Meaning, don't lecture someone about the fashion realities of their own community.  Would I give a lecture to black women about what fashion choices mean in their community?  No.  Would I lecture professors about what professional dress is these days?  No.  So, don't tell me, as a gay person that being gay is irrelevant to fashion.  It's not.  I just thought I could start a fun thread about what types of clothing my gay son might enjoy but, oh well, guess this is why we can't have nice things.

Since it came up, here are a few articles on gay fashion that are more recent.  Not a passe trend.  In fact, an evergreen topic.

If you'd prefer 20 articles from 2023, I could google those for you too.

OP, what stuck out more in your OP was that your kid has sensory issues, is mildly autistic and has severe ADHD. He wants to look attractive. That's great.

Forget about all the articles. He's in MS. He needs to find what he can tolerate and still look how he wants to look.

My DS is gay. He likes certain looks in his mind. He watches gay fashion TikTok's. There are plenty out there for gay boys. Will he actually put effort into wearing these things? Most likely not really at his age. What you are putting on your kid may be too much at the moment. It can wait. Let him find his own style.[/quote]
