A 5 year old doesn't display homosexual tendancies. If this is a serious question, I would say he is just showing a normal curiosity in his own body and still finding out how boys and girls are similar or different.

It's a phase! At that age children do not have sexual tendencies towards other people - they dont know what sexual tendencies are. Many little boys play with girl toys or show affection to other boys by holding hands or hugging, as well as girls playing with boys toys and showing the same affection to other girls. Children only see holding hands, hugging, and kisses as general forms of affection that adults use. They don't know that as a grown children and adults that those signs of affection have anything to do with sex.

Its all in your head they don't know the difference at that age. Its probably a phase he's going through. That would be like saying a 7 year old plays with Barbies with his sister's that he is gay. He's only haveing fun, he doesn't know the difference of it yet.

I am assuming that the tendencies that you are talking about are more physical actions so I wouldn't worry about it. It is probably just a phase or maybe he is just more sensitive. These are all stereotypes though and don't mean anything.

Personally I dont feel a 5 yr old knows what they are doing! That behavior is more than likely a phase b/c at 5 they dont know sexuality and dont know how to convey it!

Is that possible at 5? If your son is gay, there's not much you can do about it. Just love your son no matter what. Maybe your son is just not as masculine as other boys. Focus on your son's talents and good qualities rather than him not playing with a football enough for you.

Why would you be worrying? Don't you want your child to be happy and healthy?
Some children know from birth on who they are- it's just a matter of whether or not you as a parent will nurture or squelch his NATURAL behaviors?
Man, you act like he's showing signs of a serial killer or something.
You should get help for your phobias so you don't pass any more discriminatory/biased/racist opinions on him.

I wouldn't worry about it. But it is probably not a phase. I knew when I was his age that I liked other girls. I happen to like boys too, but I like girls. Please, for the sake of your child's emotional well being, don't try to change him, or tell him that its wrong. Don't even think about it until he is older.
He may very well be homosexual. And I hope that is something that you can grow to accept.

Love your son no matter what.
I don't know if you're male or female, but make sure he has both a strong male and female influence in his life.
Lastly, at 5, it's very likely a phase.

At 5 y/o Im trying to think of just exactly what he can be doing that may be portrayed as "homosexual" I think that maybe you are just reading a little into things too much. I had a cousin who was VERY VERY feminine playing with dolls and always w/us girls but now he is happily married w/kids himself....Just let him be a kid :)
