Do you really think an 8-year-old knows whether he is gay or not?
Believe it or not, a lot of boys experiment with eachother like that when they're little and grow up to be straight. It might not be the Christian thing to do, but he's a little boy and probably more interested in satisfying his curiousity about things than he is about religion.
Drop it. If you make a huge deal about it then, whether he's gay or not, you're going to give him some very serious psychological issues.
PS If it's really bothering you a lot, and you think you'll have a hard time not hammering him about it, a nice Christian counselor might be able to help you through your confusing emotions.

He will need all the love and acceptance he can get, and the majority of that will come from you. Also, he is young, he may grow out of it. But if he doesn't, that's ok too. I used to be opposed to same sex relationships as well, but when I think of how attracted I am to men ( I'm a woman), I couldn't imagine being sexually attracted to women. I can only imagine that a gay or lesbian person feels the same towards people of the opposite sex.
Do some research, there have been studies done on the brain functions of homosexual people and animals. Which may suggest that this is natural just like heterosexuality, just a bit more rare.

Its hard to believe that an eight year old can know that they're gay but if its true then you have to find a way to accept it and love your son. Whether you believe in same sex relationships is irrelevant. First and foremost no matter what his sexual preference he is still your son.

How can you possible know he is gay? All children his age, girls and boys experiment with each other, children even younger are playing doctor. It is natural sexual curiosity. He will more than likely grow out of it. If he doesn't he is your son you should love him anyway. As a Christian family you should know that.

lady he is 8 ,you need counseling,no 8 yr old should have a sexual preference.think about the conversations you have in front of this child. and anyway what makes you think that he wants to be gay?is he playing dress-up, dolls,so what thats normal , he will grow up to be a good parent either way. worry about other things like school work [grades],health, let him be 8 yrs old. it only comes once in a life time .

For him being 8 he might have been touch by and adult have you ask him if someone has touched him. You might want to take him to the counsel or shrink. Cause something drastic might had happen to him and he need to open up about it. Most of the time the parents are the last ones to know. and i with you i am totally against same sex . cause didn't make Steve and Steve he made Adam and eve. I hope you fine the right answer to your question .

you should not judge you son one way or the other but rest assured that at 8 years old he is experimenting and unless you make a big deal out of it there is no reason why he will necessarily be gay or straight. let him be.

well first of all you should fing out if he really is gay ask him because if you just guess he might get some wrong ideas and if he is 8 then it is early so you can still teach him that he should like girls and that is like like boys that that is wrong and girls are wright!!!! plus it is not that big a deal about being gay because it just mean he can not have children and he he loves his partner in the neer future then there should be nothing to it!!!!! plus you really can't do much to help him all you can really do is try to change his mund and that might work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
