[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the gay and lesbian people I know have all told me they knew they were that way, even if they didn't know the word for it, between ages 5-7. Which IS around 1st grade. Plus, kids have parents who are same-sex couples. So this lets the kids know it's okay to be open about that at school. AND, teaches kids from homophobic families that it's no big deal and in fact some of their little friends have parents who are same-sex couples. [/quote]

How would kids know that at such an early age, way before puberty and any interest in romantic relationships? In my circle, I can think of  a 6 year old wants to grow up to be a cat. Another wants to marry his best friend so they can play on the same soccer team. [/quote]

My cousin is gay and we all knew it from when he was in Kindergarten.  When he talked to his mom about it in elementary school she got mad at him and he then suppressed his feelings and finally came out the year he went to college.  Unfortunately, his mother still doesn’t fully accept the fact that he is gay and he has struggled mentally bc of it.[/quote]
