you don't want your son to grow up "afraid of a mouse"? what does that have to do with being gay/straight/manly? i'm female and no way terrified of mice (or lizards/snakes/spiders)!
my nephew liked to wear his mom's high heels and parade naked thru the house as a 4 year old... and he and a neighbor's son did latch-hook rugs at age 7.... neither incident "turned him gay". he's now adult, straight... but if he was gay certainly those two episodes would not have been the reason!
Heh. When my son was 3, he used to love to dress up in his sister's Tinkerbell fairy dress costume. It was green and had wings. He especially loved the wings.
One day he was playing outside with it on, chasing a garden snake he found in the garage. He would throw it somewhere and pretend to fly over to it to kill it. We had to have a conversation about not handling wild animals he found in the garage. He also had a thing for field mice. Thank God he never actually caught one.
I'm thinking his love of Tinkerbell costumes, Dora the Explorer (he even had Dora bedsheets) and tiaras had no effect on his "wimp" development. LOL
My son can't wear anything pink, at least while he stays with me. And there's no princesses and Disney stories, that's for sure.

Boys who are treated like babies go running to their mother when they see a mouse.
This MIGHT be philosophical because it deals with homosexuality.
I have only read a few of the posts, so this may have already been said. As far as the latest science is concerned, homosexuals and heterosexuals are born that way. Toys, or other objects, DON'T turn heterosexuals into homosexuals or vice-versa.
Only weird parents think like that.
If he turned out that way, he will probably be an adult by then, so nothing to be done on my part. But I will surely not give him incentives to be gay. There are hardly any true men these days, I don't want him to be afraid of a mouse.
I do not think you understand the word incentive.
