        He is 10 years old! He has no idea if he is gay or not! Most kids are eating mud and playing outside at that point! We wonder why kids are so stressed out nowadays! If kids are even thinking about that at 10 then thats on society for taking away their innocence

        How old were you when you first had a crush on someone or got nervous around them because you thought they were cute?
