[quote=Anonymous]I think a 10 year can know if they're gay or not. Or at least whether they are leaning towards being more fluid. It's an open topic and kids know what it means. I've talked to my 4th grader about homosexuality and the range of attraction one can have between male/female. He's physically a later bloomer and not into girls yet but he's pretty solidly sure he's not gay (I haven't asked, he's just thinking about stuff).

He'd also be fairly chill about it if one of his friends came out as gay. He an athlete and admittedly a bit bro but we we've talked about the possibility and he said it wouldn't affect the friendship but he wouldn't fundamentally be able to understand it. That's fine. He doesn't have to be able to fundamentally understand everything about a person in order to be their friend.

Why I have put so much time and energy into these conversations and making him think things through? Because DH and I are wondering about his brother and we want the whole family on board if necessary.[/quote]
