Considering that my son has a longstanding crush on Glee's Blaine and regularly refers to him as "my boyfriend," I thought there was a fair chance that he would someday say, "I'm gay." But my kid is only 7 years old. I figured I had a few years before we crossed that threshold (if we ever did), probably when he was 14 or 15. I never thought it would happen this soon.

So gay people can be aware of their sexuality at such a young age. Do you think that this boy is just going through a phase or he is truly gay?

I thought you didn't awaken sexually until you hit puberty??? 7 seems kinda young for puberty.

Well still young children do develop crushes yet they are not sexual.

I don't think it matters. Sexuality doesn't really mean much, gay, straight, bi, asexual - so what? It's like judging a person based on their hair color. Which, unless you're a ginger...

that's my point, if it's not sexual than it's not gay

Don't be so sure...I knew by the time I was that age that I was attracted to girls.

Sexually, at age?

7 years old seems awfully young to have sexual thoughts.

Well yes it is still I sort of had a girlfriend then and I used to practise kissing her then and holding hands with her at that age. Nothing sexual about it of course. Yet then I had a idea that I liked girls still.

Really? Did you never played "doctor" at a very young age with a playmate? I certainly did, and the girl was into it every bit as much as I was...I'm not even sure I was 7 yet.

Patrick Neil the comedian talked to Oprah about his sexuality and said he knew he was gay from an early age.

'Probably six, seven,' he said. 'Young.'
