And, as an aside, with what we know about developmental sexuality, I would caution ANYONE of trying to identify the sexual orientation of someone as young as 3 or 5, especially based on a behavior or two. Further, I have no idea what "acting gay" looks like on a 5 year old.
Two different gay male acquaintances have described knowing they were gay "in kindergarten"; feeling that they were different than the other boys, and having crushes on boys.
Five is about the age that heterosexuals begin to have "crushes" on members of the opposite sex.
I remember my son coming home dispirited from kindergarten; when I asked him what was wrong, he said, "I need a girlfriend! All my friends have girlfriends."
When I suggested cluelessly that I was both a girl and his friend, he glared at me contemptuously and replied, "No, mom. I need a little girlfriend."
:lol:
