It doesn't have to be a gene, although we don't know with certainty yet that it's not. It could be neonatal hormonal influences or a number of other biological factors.

When? Around puberty.

Harrier most certainly did not choose to be gay.

And Jesus COULD have been nailed to a cross and came back to life.

Yeah, but that theory doesn't have substantial evidence to support it currently, so it is a flimsy argument upon which to base public policy.

Mom was likely too shocked to contact the Police when the incident happened, when there was a greater opportunity to catch this man and press charges.

The man is lucky she did not react to the threat with a gun.

oh boy... I'm sorry but if I have a son he will not wear pink bows and dresses out in public. I get it.. the kid is young and likes to wear crazy stuff. That's what the house is for...

I'm sorry... my kid won't be wearing a princess outfit to school or dressing him/herself when they are 2.

It just seems a bit fishy to me. If anyone touched my kid, he/she would be meeting the floor quickly. My foot would be on his/her neck while I dialed 911.

Child abuse? Strange beliefs?
Ooooh, letting your small son wear a pink headband is akin to voodoo. Strange and scary.
Boo!

If I had been in the same line, I would have stayed by the mother's side and got someone to get store security. I would have been happy to give a witness statement and would have encouraged her to report the incident to the police.
Interesting that no one followed the guy and took his license plate #.

Probably happened too fast for people to react.

If you want to put your children in a box, stifle their creativity and self-expression, knock yourself out.
My son wore his hair down to his waist until the age of about 15. Didn't hurt him any. It's just hair.
He turned out to a great young man.
