[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is thinking about this from the perspective of mature, enlightened adults. The perspective of your sons peers may not be quite the same. As one PP said, as long as your DS goes into it knowing he may have to deal with some guff from the other guys, then why not let him try it out. Your DH, on the other hand, is thinking like a teenage boy which may give you an idea of what issues your son may face.[/quote] I agree. Your husband knows what it is like to be a teenage boy. Have a realistic talk with your son about the shit he is going to catch at school (wrong thought it is) and will he want to deal with it.[/quote] You know who else knows the perspective of teenage boys? OP's son, who has asked to try out for cheerleading. You think he doesn't have a pretty good grasp of how his peers think about homosexuality, cheerleaders, and bigoted dads? I think a lot of PPs here are projecting.[/quote]
