What would you do if your 6 year old son shows a sign that he's a homosexual?

Answer 1

Define "a sign that he's a homosexual".

Answer 2

I wish I could tell you that there was a "straight" pill or a magical home remedy to straighten your son out. Here's some homework;
Look up "polymorphously perverse" - this term was coined by Freud to explain human sexuality. Let me say this, as well; children sexually develop between the ages of 2-6 years old. We can bicker and theorize on whether homosexuality is genetic or environmental, but the proof is in the pudding.

I am a homosexual and a therapist and can honestly tell you that there is nothing to worry about. You CAN NOT change the inevitable. However, if you think that you will have a problem with it, you need to do some soul searching now, because sooner or later (if he is gay) he will come out - according to your reaction, you'll either have a close relationship or a very unhealthy, distant one. The CHOICE is not his, but yours.
I wish you well and encourage you to email me anytime if you would like to discuss this further.

Answer 3

Erm mate elaborate...

is he kissing boys or simply does not like football.


People are born gay so if thats the case teach self defence so can take on bullies but still love and care for him and get advice from gay friends on how to help.

And arguments against relgious types who may say its bad like who mass murdered witches who were doctors? the christians or the gays?

Likewise how gays often have lots of girl mates which would help straight mates pull.

Or if people think his friend is gay as hangs around with him... the girls may try and convert them (ie could help mates pull) however tht more for teen years.


Right now he should be nor more sexaul then mates.

Hes a normal kid, just probably can be the one with the best jokes.

Answer 4

I can't imagine what a 6 year old could do to make you think he's a homosexual. But to answer your question, I'd do nothing.

Answer 5

I don't know what "sign " you think he is showing, but at age 6 it is highly unlikely that it is in any way a reflection of any sexual orientation. . As for the future, there is nothing to do but love your children just as they are. You can't change "Mother Nature."

Answer 6

Nothing.
First, he's too young to be one way or the other.
Secondly, there's nothing you can do about it anyway.
Thirdly, it doesn't really matter. About the only reason it could matter is that gay sons don't usually produce children. But it's a bit early for you to be worrying about grandchildren!

Since we're on the topic, my daughter's godfather is gay. He's an only child, so I think that's made his mum happy. She seems to like having a god-granddaughter. (If there is such a thing :)

Answer 7

Could you elaborate?? Young children show many signs of affection to other children etc, and usually at this age it is totally normal. What is he doing that makes you think is gay? At this age he is still exploring how to show affection and love to others, and most kids hug and kiss each other.. afterall, they see it all around them from other kids as well as adults!

My friends gay son was not raising this thought from those of us who knew him well until he was around 11 yrs of age. He finally came out at the age of 18 and grew into one of the most beautiful and wonderful men you would ever be so lucky to meet.

I would not be too worried at this stage, if you really are concerned then talk to your paediatrician about it. Nothing to be ashamed of!

Answer 8

I'm really not into cultivating sexuality of one brand or another in either of my children, so I don't think I'd DO anything. What will be, will be.

I'm most interested in instilling values like respect, duty, honor, faith, etc. so that when he is a grown man he can be a great partner - whether it's to a man or to a woman.

Answer 9

Love him no matter what...I dont know what kind of response you are looking for here. I also dont know what "signs" he is showing. I have a brother who's favorite color was always purple when he was little and played with dolls now he is 25 and married with two kids.

Answer 10

I would read him books like "And Tango Makes Three" and "King and King" to show him that he is normal and loved no matter what the "signs" might be or might mean.
