I worry about him being bullied at school. Does this still happen?

Lenin, just wanted you to see this

Oh how I wished my son was gay when he was that age. I was convinced he was and longing for the day he brought home is first boyfriend.

When he mentioned at 11 that he had a girlfriend I said "what? A girl?!!!! But but but... you can't have a girlfriend. I want you to be gay".

He was and

Three years on from that he is still very sensitive, still in touch with his feminine side, but firmly heterosexual.

You are clearly going to to be giving him a damn sight more support and understanding that a lot of people and that is all he needs.

To know that if he IS, he doesn't have to hide it from you.

I am not sure there is so much bullying these days.

Certainly the young lad in my DD1's class who at 14 announced he was gay was just met with "yeah, we know. And?" It hasn't made any difference to any of the lads he hangs around with.
