Oh please. :roll:
aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends of the family, teachers, other children, siblings, cousins, so on and so forth. The people ALL have an influence on children. (and adults for that matter) A child's influence should NEVER come only from their parents. That'd be pretty ****ing scary. After all, they could end up with parents who think their sexuality is "abnormal" and make them hate themselves and force them to pretend they're something they're not. Kids should have many influences and sources for information, experience, and companionship. A child's parent is not, and should never be, the only source of influence.
