As the first who dares comment here:
How does he know he's homosexual? He only looks about 12, and plenty of boys that age (and much older) can go either way.
On the other hand he doesn't look very "boyish".
My oldest son is very sensitive and gentle, he married and has children.
It's too soon to put a label on this child.

I really like the Humans of New York video clips and photos. Well done HC for offering her supportive comments. I know young people who were aware they were gay or bisexual at that young age. Labels not needed, just the space to grow into themselves, whatever their orientation.

I think he could be thirteen or fourteen.

It must be scary to realise you are gay at that young age. Although I do agree with TriciaF that it can't yet be set in stone. Anyone remember schoolgirl crushes on the head girl?
