Four years ago, Miranda’s 14-year-old son Seth came out to her as gay, via text message. It didn’t come as a surprise to either parent: they’d really been waiting for Seth to work it out himself. I ask Miranda when she first had a sense her son might be gay, and she answers that it was when he was about three. He got on better with girls; his playtime was more sedentary, more constructive, and less combative. Seth was always uncomfortable with the pushing and shoving that went on among the other boys. He just wanted to play house. As he aged, his friendship groups remained overwhelmingly female; and he had no interest in sports whatsoever. Everyone is different, of course. But many gay men reading this will hear bells ringing when they see such descriptions.

I assume this is a white family, and it's not "normal" (common) for effeminate/gnc boys to prefer female friends in the white community??

When I was a teen in the 90s, I had 3 friends who were flaming gay guys... very flamboyantly gnc. None of us were bullied at school for being gay as fuck. My friends were quite similar to Miss Lawrence (from Bravo's RHOA and Fox's Star series).

They loved being gay boys lol they were considered cool "fashionistas" who had the best styles. And this is in the Southeast where folks assume openly gay people are miserable. Lol smh one of my former friends is/was a ballet dancer... a black gay ballet dancer. He was quite popular lol
