To be fair, a friend of the family's son when I was younger was obsessed with dressing up as a fairy / princess and putting on girly American voices whenever he was playing... and as an adult he's straight as an arrow. Everyone including his mum was shocked when he DIDN'T come out and instead started bringing home girls

I genuinely thought my son would grow up to be gay. He always insisted on touching fabrics before he would wear them, from about the age of 4. He would always have to match his colours, wanted to wear face creams to protect his skin, needed to make sure "this" went with "that". He loved to wear my skirts and shoes.

He's not though, he's completely het, even though he does still insist on having his eyebrows plucked every fortnight

Probably more my preconception of campness and how / if it actually relates to homosexuality though, than anything.

I agree. I had girlfriends because it was the "norm" back when I was 7-11, but now I realise that I'm attracted to guys so I would only date a guy.

I knew I was different from a young age and it was only when I became a teenager I really understood why. A few people have said to me they always knew I was gay, my sister in law said she knew when she first met me and I'd have been about 10 years old

In unrelated news there is no such thing as boys' toys or girls' toys. First of all that assumes a gender binary which is so far from reality because there is a multitude of unique ways people express gender including bigender, agender, third gender, etc. When women are pregnant all anyone can seem to talk about is if it's a girl or boy, they obsess over knowing or not knowing, and once the baby actually enters the world it is immediately inundated with blue or pink and pruned to accept the gender binary and its place in it. Society determines what boys like and what girls like much more than any natural inclinations do. Last week at a fast food place people were still being asked whether they wanted a boys/girls toy, something which I thought wasn't even done anymore because duh?
