I remember dropping several friends in middle school because all they could talk about was boys.  I liked boys too, but also had other interests.  I don't see this as being any different.  Some kids spend a lot of energy at that age on their sexuality and relationships.  Its something that they're figuring out.  Others spend time talking about other interests.  The complaint seems to be less about this kid being gay, and more that being gay is his only topic of conversation and that he makes every conversation about his sexuality.  He'll probably grow out of it as he becomes more comfortable in his skin, but it doesn't make it less annoying to some now.  Lots of kids in middle school have similarly annoying phases.

(Thinking back, I had another friend in middle school who made every conversation about her parents' divorce.  I think it's just how some kids process big things in their life.) [/quote]

I honestly don't understand how you got from

to "Being gay is [this kid's] only topic of conversation and he makes every conversation about his sexuality". Especially given that the PP's child who is annoyed by the gay kid also believes that the gay kid could choose to be straight. (I wonder whether the PP's child believes that he, himself, could choose to be gay?)[/quote]
