Do you think a parent can turn their child gay at an early age?

No, I don't believe that a halloween costume is going to turn any kid gay. I just don't believe it. My brothers often dressed up as girls for Halloween and they are not at all gay. My grandson dressed up like a girl for Halloween this year....not gay.

I think it is something in their genes that makes them turn gay or straight. However, mothers who like to dress their sons and daughters dress as girls and boys do din into their mind that makes them think thus. If they nurture these feelings for a longer time it might make them turn gay.

No they can not It is a well known fact that Children like to dress up at an early age which also means that Boys can dress up in Girls Clothes, it is a Game The fact that People need to realise here is you do not turn someone Gay it is an act of nature and happens People say God did not make People that way it is a sin, well sorry, when People decide what way God has made People and not it has nothing to do with religion, it is spite, it is not a sin, at the end of the Day, as People always say, everything that happens is an act and Guidance of God I am not religious, I do believe in my own way, I have a couple of Friends that are Gay, they are the most lovely Friends you can have and they where not turned Gay by the Parents as they say it is just something that has happened and they are happy that way So no Parents do not turn their Children Gay

Well it is her son. And there is nothing wrong with being gay. I believe if the kid wants to be Daphne, for the kid's sake let him be Daphne! what is wrong with being Daphne? the kid is still a kid, let him choose who he wants to be, its his course in life.the mom is just being supportive and loving and accepting. Plus being Daphne does not mean he wants to be gay! lolz..he is still 5!! not unless the next year he wants to be Beyonce or Britney Spears, now that is something. But if he is meant to be gay, why not?!!?! i mean there is nothing wrong with GAY people! i love them!

I saw the same article. People don't get "turned" gay. They are the way they are. Two twins can grow up in the same household and one can be gay and the other straight. She didn't dress her son as Daphne, HE CHOSE to be Daphne and WANTED to be Daphne so she bought him the outfit. Just because he wore that does not mean he will grow up to be gay either. Also, it was Halloween, she didn't mention anything about him wanting to wear "girl's" clothes any other time. He must just admire Daphne and wanted to be like her.

I don't think parents can decide whether their child is straight of gay however, I don't think you are "born gay" as many have said. I think you can develop your sexuality to your envioroment though, othewise there would have been a much higher proportion of homosexuals in anti-gay countries and a much lower proportion of gays during the time of the ancient Greeks. Therefore, possibly having more open-minded parents who didn't mind if their son or daughter was gay may perhaps boost the chance of them being gay. But I really don't know, one things for sure, parents "turn" their kids gay at an early age.

I dont think you can turn a child gay. They either are or they arent. Its our job as parents to love them no matter what. Parents allow little girls to wear boys costumes so why not let a little boy wear a girls costume. If my son truly wanted to be a girl character for Halloween I would let him. First I would say to him that really its supposed to be for girls to wear and someone might pick on him if he wears it but if he still wanted to wear it I would allow him to. I dont think people should be saying nasty things to this women she is just letting her son be a kid and enjoy himself.

I don't think so at all. People used to tell my parents that letting my younger brother play with my barbies and other dolls would lead to him turning out to be gay later in life. That is so NOT the case ! My brother is the straightest person that I know ! He is very open minded and is very accepting of everyone, whether they are straight or not.

I don't believe that parents have the ability to make their children gay. I believe that homosexuality is actually a genetic flaw that has happened to some people. The reason that I believe that this is the case is because it seems that homosexuality seems to run in families. For example, my father was one of ten children, six boys and four girls of the six boys, three of them are or where gay. Then there are my cousins on that same side of the family, there were a total of sixteen of us and there are at least four of them that are homosexual.

hmm. I think they do. Parents do have a big part in molding their children. If the parents keeps on dressing their kids opposite their gender, then its a possibility for the kid to turn out to be gay.
