I asked my wife the same question. We have a gay son. I knew he was gay from around age 2, but kind of never mentioned it. It was just a thought I would have from his behaviors and demeanor. I mentioned it to her once or twice, and she was very uncomfortable hearing about it. She doesn't mind gay folks, or him being gay. It is just that she thinks that until you are pubescent you don't know if you are gay. So she just stuffed it.
In any event, he is pretty feminine. Always has been. So I thought it would ask her. She is pretty grim on the idea, too.
This is interesting, for sure.

IIRC from my anthropology courses . . .
there has been NO culture which survived chronic wholesale confusion between gender roles that lasted much longer than 50 years.
The WHOLE CULTURE DID NOT SURVIVE. It disintegrated, disappeared. The people either were assimilated in bits and pieces into other cultures or the people just died out, disappeared.

Oh, you can misquote me all you want, but it's not fooling anybody..well, maybe one person. Hey, I like baseball. I also like sewing and embroidery. No, I'm not ashamed to admit it at all that I enjoy a traditionally female hobby/skill.
You obviously have a problem with people acting outside of their traditional gender roles. The "archaic" I'm talking about is you telling me I can't enjoy me some embroidering and sewing because I'm a male.

The brainwash is DEEP around here, with all of you.
Just because they have done this before, all over the place, doesn't mean there is no agenda. Rather the opposite, I'd say. All these cartoons are and have been produced by the same firms for decades.
Just because you feel it's ok to dress your infant son up as a woman for Halloween, doesn't make it right or healthy.
You are ALL parroting the brainwash talking points all over the place on this thread.

Dear bigfatfurrytexan,
I feel that you and your wife both love your son and you should and I am glad you do. I meet so many young men who are gay and have been hated by their parents for it because of social stigmas. By the way, I am straight and preach. Many confuse soft with feminine, it doesn't have to be. Most gays view themselves as the "sex" that they are, they act soft to attract partners.

Hmm wonder what that means?edit on 19-6-2013 by FriedBabelBroccoli because: 101
I concur that most gay people don't want to be woman, and that is a misconception with Drag Performers, i don't want to be a Woman, i know i am a homosexual male, but i do drag, for the performance, for the art, and for being fabulous and glamorous, the makeup and shoes outfits etc, but i don't want to be a "Woman" though i am far more feminine, and that is not being 'Soft' to attract a partner, it's how i've been from my earliest memory, This cartoon will no more 'Brainwash' your children than any other cartoon show,

Dear Bo Xian,
I do not believe you understood what I said. "Gender" roles, gays do not misunderstand the sex and few want to become the other sex. Sex versus gender, which is real and which a role? I believe you have confused the two. Please tell me what traits are male versus female, I can tell you what body parts are male or female.
