He is only 6 but he has been different since birth. He hates sports, he hates rap music, he hates the adrenaline, "masculine" sort of video games. He is very soft spoken yet articulate, he loves the Cheetah Girls, loves shiny things, fashion, and is very organized and has some other feminine qualities. Should I be concerned?

I don't think it should really be a concern. A lot of younger boys have interests in girl things, just because it's different from what they see everyday. My younger brother used to play barbie's all the time with me, but now he's engaged and not at all into the girl aspect of life. Don't worry about it, it's normally just a phase. And even if he does become confused as to where his heart lies, that's what they have dads for. Just be supportive of his choices that's the best you can do for now.

I don't think he's old enough to be gay.
I really believe that being gay/ lesbian is a choice that ppl make.
It's not something they were born with...I don't belive that.
Sir, please don't worry.
REally...I have a guy friend (he's 16 right now)
I've known him since he was 10 and he had always been thought of as "girly" in CHURCH.
He plays instruments really well, he likes drawing, he's really into fashion design and makeup (he doesn't wear it but he likes learning about it) and he's friends with more girls then guys (he's a really good friend of mine).
However, he is NOT gay, he likes girls.
He is just more sensitive I suppose and he is just different.
What is wrong about being differnt though?
I know girls that LIKE fighting games, won't wear skirts and borry their brother's clothes ( I did just not anymore)...but they like guys.
Hey...it's just different...individualism
don't put your son to a sterotypical group.
He's just different and different is GOOD.
He might face some problems in school at first but he'll also find ppl that accept him and like him as he is. It's no problem!
Don't worry.

There is nothing wrong with being gay, and some boys are just like that (the hating rap music and sports). It might even be just a phase... I used to act and hang out with guys when I was younger, and I'm not a lesbian. 6 is too young to worry about that anyway.

No, that does not mean he is gay. I am not into sports, I do not like rap music and have no interest in video games. I am into chasing the girls. he is just advanced, he's already dropped his toys and after the ladies already. he will probably be a real ladies man and will break a lot of girls hearts.

There are lots of boys who don't like sports, musical tastes change with age, and so do tastes in other things. He is six, why let it concern you what his sexual orientation may or may not be. There is no need for concern, even if he turns out to be gay, will you love him less?

Six is a bit early to tell.
I mean, my little brother played with dolls, and he's straight as straight can be. Turns out I'm bisexual and I'm the only child my parents DIDN'T worry about.
Is it a problem if he does turn out to be gay? Will you love him any less? I've lost friends and family coming out, and even if they come around later, that injury never really heals. So I repeat: Will you love him any less?

I don't think there is any prerequisite for being gay. What about all the kids who were 100% boy, played sports, etc, etc...that turned out to be gay? I wouldn't worry about it...just promote whatever skills he seems to be strong in and he'll turn out fine.

He sounds like a lovely kid. I would not be quick to worry about his sexuality but I would be sensitive to the possibility and let him know that he is terrific just the way he is.
He probably is unaware of his sexuality at this point.

he's only 6, good grief give the poor kid a chance. if he is, he is. he has no idea at this point about sex let alone being attracted to another of the same sex. let him be himself. why are you so concerned? or worried?

yes, you should be concerned...not about your son, but by the fact that you are so interested in the sexual orientation of a 6 year old. go see a therapist.
