I read a lot of the comments on here, and towards a 7 year old, people are so harsh and judgemental. The kid knows what he feels, his internal entirety is for him to understand, nobody else.
And yes, he is young & may not know yet, but his mother is awesome for not trying to change him. I'm almost 21 years old & my mother is STILL trying to change me. No one ever will though! I am who I am & know what I like. <3
The post was meant to show how accepting a mother could be and accept his som for who he is, not if he is completely sure about his sexuality at his age.
Being only 7, he has a lot of time to figure it out. I guess if he wants to be considered gay - as in liking and feeling love and care towards boys, not thinking or wanting to have sex - then we can do nothing but support him. But I do believe he will change his mind at least several times; in the end, his final decision is not as important as his happiness and comfort. I'm more concerned with writing things like "I will hurt anyone(...)"; is violence really necessary here?
I think it's a bit too early...any child has to live a short cut of their lives where they're confused bout their own sexuality... I've been there too! This little boy could change his mind any time soon.
I'm gay and like nearly all the gays I REALLY knew that when I was like 11, 12 y old.. I don't say he doesn't realize that at 7 because maybe it's right but you REALLY know that when you also feel desire for the other sex and at 7 y old U're not sexually appeal by folks you're still in you're cuteness's world so maybe he wants hug boys of his class etc but even if I had memories of me being in love of my boys classmates at 11 y old .....S aying it make him gay is a little bit early to me....
Even though everyone says you always know, you dont ACTUALLY realise it until you realise what gender your sexually attracted to and even when the hormones start, you wont realise what you like until a few years later.
