Got Something For That???
A couple of us have kids, the others have nieces and nephews, or if nothing else, strong azz opinions...lol...Anyways, here in ATL I've noticed more and more high school aged girls swaying to the lesbian culture. Down at the Underground shopping area, tons of these girls have the baggy clothes, braids to the back or heads w/ a fade, eyebrows pierced, and holding hands/kissing/sitting on each other's laps, etc. I've also seen or can remember being young and there being that one little boy who acted very feminine. Didn't like sports, wanted to be a ballerina at Halloween, wanted to hang only with females, had a switch in his walk, etc. And as he grew up, we "found out" he was gay. My question is: If you notice these gay tendencies in your child at a young age, is there anything you can do to change it? I've heard people say if their son was like that, they'd "beat it outta him", or find ways to toughen him up. Do you think it is possible to do this, or are you just creating a closet gay? For the young girls, do you think this is just a fad that has become "cute" in the media w/ the whole "my girl's got a girlfriend" hype? Just wondering...remember old folks used to swear they had a remedy for everything...so...Got Something For That???

I definitly don't think you could "beat the gay" out of someone. While I do believe that some people are born gay. I really do believe that some of these kids are experimenting. I know its something we wouldn't have even thought of back in the day and I watched something the other day and they were saying some women were Lesbians unitl Graduation. Meaning once they graduated college, high school, they stopped being lesbian.
I think it just depends if its a passing thing or if its innate. If its innate there's nothing you can do about it and your son is going to like Barbie more than G.I. Joe. But not all gay boys are effeminate (sp). I think if I did have a gay son that was a "tender" I would try to toughen him up b/c just cause he like dick don't mean he got to act like a pussy.
And I don't know how I would feel if I had a lesbian daughter. I just don't get that at all, especially, the one girl looking so much like a guy you think its a guy, if that's the case get you a man. I don't know that's just a whole nother dynamic. I guess my thinking is, if you're being banged w/a strap on or using toys that are like penises, then you like dick so why not just get a man??? It baffles me and it ain't really for me to understand. But if I had a lesbian daughter I would want her to be feminine.
I guess I'm into roles! But I would love my kids no matter what.
Its funny that you brought this up, J. "T" and I were watching project runway the other night and the winner was clearly gay..so I asked him what would he do if that were his son...how would he react if his son came switching into the living room with his hand on his hip and of course his response "I'd beat it out of him" and I flat out told him "no he won't". I told him all he'd be doing is creating the divider between himself and his son. Men have such an issue with that.
I on the other hand, I love my child regardless...not saying I'd be estatic, but I sure wouldn't want to push my child away.
