My 10-year-old son has a very caring, sensitive nature—too sensitive, I think, for a boy—is he gay?

At the cost of sounding rude, may I ask you what led you to compare being sensitive to being gay? Is it the common societal perception that girls are supposed to be emotional and caring while boys are supposed to be aggressive and rude? As a parent, I think you should be really proud of your son for his caring and sensitive heart. It's something to be treasured and nurtured really. As for being gay, sadly, society and media portray gays as being overtly effeminate and such, but in truth, they are as normal as you and me. Being gay is a function of sexual inclinations, not about being kind and caring. Appreciate your son for what he is without worrying so much :) I send him a big hug too!
