[quote=Anonymous]I think this forum can include mothers of sons who are dealing with anti-gay prejudice. Even if some of these "gay" kids are not, in fact gay, they can relate to what we had to deal with growing up. And it is also important to remember that you don't have to be gay to feel like a stranger in a world that wasn't intended for you.

I understand not switching your tween to boxers when he seems to like briefs. It could be upsetting for him to open his drawer and find out his favorite underpants have been replaced by new ones he doesn't want! Be sure to ask him first. This brings back some memories. When I was 13, most of the boys my age had already switched to boxers but Mom still kept buying me Hanes or Fruit of the Loom briefs from Kmart. 
 
There was a super-cute, blonde kid in my class and I was happy when I found out that he also still wore briefs. When getting undressed for gym class, he was one of the few outgoing enough to strip down to just his underwear before putting on the gym uniform. So I was able to see that his brand of briefs were JOCKEY with that distinctive waistband. 
 
One day, when his tighty whities were on display, the blonde boy caught a glimpse of my boner and out of nowhere, just asked, "---, are you GAY?" and within earshot of at least a few other boys. Instant deer in headlights.

At that moment, it felt like I was standing in a spotlight in the locker room. I was afraid I'd just been outed. Fortunately, nothing more was made of it. Some of the scariest few seconds of my entire teens.
