Do you think that my son will grow up to be attracted to boys?

[miss_tamtam]

So my son (age 12) is showing signs of femininity and enjoys doing girl things with his 2 sisters... he loooves when they put him in makeup and he will sometimes play dress-up with them putting on a dress, I have even seen him try to slip on a pair of my heels once. He also likes having his nails painted, and usually requests pink or something with sparkles. I have seen him dressed up as a girl putting on lipstick and posing like a girl with hand on hips in the mirror a few weeks ago.. what do you think? Is he going to be gay?

Very possible. Especially if there’s no father in his life. All he has is women in his life so to him he thinks that’s what boys are supposed to do. I think it’s by age 13 kids have pretty much developed their sexual orientation. Could change.

It's very possible. There's nothing you can do about it. Just let him be.

Do you think my son will grow up to be gay?

You did a great job copying and pasting this from the last time you asked.

[Veronika_p]

At 12, a lot of kids are simply curious, playful, or enjoy expressing themselves in different ways.

[miss_tamtam]

do you think he could grow out of it (just a phase)? I do not want him to be gay as that would invite a lot more struggles in his life unfortunately.

[Veronika_p]

Maybe. A lot of kids go through phases and outgrow certain interests, so it's too early to draw conclusions. At 12, the best thing you can do is give him time and not assume anything yet.

[miss_tamtam]

I think, if he continues behaving like a girl he will be gay. hopefully he starts acting like a boy soon.. maybe I should try to push him towards boy activities like football or other sports, etc. and he will stop with the makeup, dresses, and acting like a girl

[Veronika_p]

Well, if I were you, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Plenty of boys enjoy things that aren't traditionally seen as "boyish" and still grow up to be straight... 😏 Encouraging him to try sports or other activities is fine if he's interested, but I wouldn't force it or treat his current interests as something that needs to be fixed. He's still young and has plenty of time to figure out who he is.

[miss_tamtam]

that is true, I am hoping for that outcome. but it certainly indicates he has a high chance of being gay.

[Veronika_p]

Keep a close eye though

[Nikki1989]

Why does it matter? Let him be himself.

[miss_tamtam]

I'd prefer he not be gay, it will be a much harder life for him. and, at this point, it is looking like he will turn out gay.

[lexiboo_xoo]

accept that your son is gay, and you missed your opportunity to masculinize his behavior away from feminine. it's not a big deal to be gay anymore, who cares.

[Mariogirl09]

He might grow out of it. He might not

[miss_tamtam]

my worry is he is acting far too feminine, especially for his age.. it's not looking good.

[Mariogirl09]

Well the parent never told him no and kind of let's the daughters treat the boy as a girl...

[miss_tamtam]

so you think I made him turn gay?

[lexiboo_xoo]

yes, by not stopping it and putting him on a masculine path, you helped him become the way he is. obviously if he is allowed to act and behave like a girl put on dresses and makeup all that, he will develop a feminine mindset and attractions for boys. you made him gay. sorry to say

[beenherebefore]

Seems like he could be gay.

[Iron_Man]

I hope not put him in sports

[Still-alive]

Are you ok if he is gay?

[miss_tamtam]

no, I'd rather him not be gay. it would cause a lot more issues for him and I wish for him to be married to a woman.

[Still-alive]

Got it. You’re a troll account spreading homophobia.

[miss_tamtam]

how does that make me a troll? because I don't want my son to be gay? because I am worried about his well-being and understand that being gay causes a lot of obstacles he will have to face? tell me, please. notice you have Bernie on your profile, radical leftist. why should I take what you say seriously?

[Still-alive]

Lol 😂 trolll. Im done

[kinks1951]

He is doing what he enjoys, love him for him

[MasterKS]

It's high chance, what do you want?

[lexiboo_xoo]

yes, your son is gay. duhh
