Welcome to the 21st century.  No longer rude.

LGBTQ+ is much more accepted now than it used to be and the goal is to remove any stigma with being in any of those demographics.  So, stop considering it rude and just answer.  If the kid asked your son and he denied and then the kid asked you, I would say "He said he wasn't.  Why would you not believe him?"  [/quote]

It’s not an appropriate question for an eight year old.  [/quote]
There are a lot of other inappropriate questions asked among elementary students that are not about sexual or dating preferences; although The the other kid probably meant “do you think boys are cute?”

Young kids are curious…. They ask each other  “how much money does your dad make” “why do you walk with a limp” “why is your mom in a wheelchair” “why do you have a scar on your face” “are you poor” etc! Your kid needs to learn to advocate for himself  if someone asks him something that he doesn’t want to answer or it seems invasive, especially if the person is a peer.[/quote]
