It is just amazing how many parents are started to see their children as a child that might be gay or straight. I think one of the biggest issues so many people face is the rejection of their family. A lot of this comes from ignorance and just thinking every child is automatically straight and thats that. The fact that this mother has received tons of responses of similar stories and had 30,000 likes when she was only sharing her thoughts is wild. Dialogue is so important. Again, this does not mean the child is gay or not, but taking away a Barbie doll at 4 years old is sure not going to make them straight... ;)
