So it's not okay for them to say he might be gay but it's okay for you to call him a girl?

Sorry but neither is funny or appropriate imo.

My dad used to wear a ponytail b4 he passed after 43 yrs of marriage and 7 kids I can safely say he is not gay lol my brother wears one now he's not gay ( I think he's a homophobic which sux kuz I'm bi) aside from that my nephew also had long hair he wore back he got bullied at school and cut it even tho he wanted it long :( its a sad world we live in

My son is 2 he have a poney tail

My boyfriend has hair that's past his chest. And he wears it in a pony tail. And he is no where near gay.

With that logic wouldn't it be just as easy to change how a gay person wears their hair and the type of clothes they wear to be more like straight person.....bc of course that would make them become straight, right?

I agree, a ponytail won't make him gay. I also agree that there's nothing wrong with being gay.

I do however feel that teasing him by calling him "mommy's little girl" could have some negative effects. I wouldn't joke about genders like that because the whole idea is that boys and men can wear ponytails too without being girly or trans or gay. Calling him a little girl could be confusing & make him feel unable to express himself. (Unlikely at 15 months, yes..but just a thought for the future).

Well it IS okay to be gay. But ponytails are definitely not related to homosexuality lol. How dumb.

I just wouldn't put my son in a ponytail on Facebook. But I wouldn't judge someone that did I suppose

That's ridiculous. You don't make a child gay, they're born that way and a ponytail certainly isn't going to have any effect on his sexuality. Yeesh.

I agree that they are acting ignorantly. Every them I see them they bring it up. This happened days ago.

And today is Easter and we have a family gathering and I know that's all I'm going to hear about today.

I'm half tempted to bring him to the egg hunt in a pony tail lol

They are very ignorant. Sorry I know thats your family. But honestly if I have a son I wouldn't cut his hair until he wants to and it would be in a ponytail when it got long enough. A ponytail isnt a big deal. Im native american my brother has longer hair than mine. It stays in a braid. And trust me he's far from gay.

My husband wears his hair in a pony tail most of the time. I'm 99.9% sure he's not gay.

I def dont like guys with long hair even worst if they have a pony tail... but I dont think that will make them gay that is just a stupid thing to say... my brother has long curly hair... Im pretty sure he is not gay

You don't teach gay.

1 word. Opie! That man is not gay, wears a pony tail and all man!

Sometimes I give my son clean make up brushes and he rubs them on his face like me. 0.0 guess if he turns out to be a cross dresser it's my fault ?

At first I thought they were joking about being upset, but now it's at the point where even my uncle is complaining to my husband at work (they work together)

It's all my step dad's side of the family.

Like they are REALLY REALLY upset.

It's so stupid.

I have seen plenty of straight men with long hair who wear pony tails. Do you not think Jared Leto in all his straight hotness puts his long hair up in a pony tail? Lol. What a stupid thing for people to get upset about.

@courtt

It's just a pony tail? Like why is that something you wouldn't put on Facebook?

I wouldn't put something like that on Facebook but Spunds like they overreacted

s*** , my 17 year old son is screwed then. His sister (she's 21 now) was so desperate for a sister she would dress him in her bloody dresses !!

Don't worry about them. As pp has said they are ignorant

First off, how does a pony tail mean gay?

Second, I personally don't believe you teach gay and find it disrespectful that some would say that.

Third, what is their issue with gay? Who cares.

I would respond by saying two things. 1) wearing a pony tail won't make him gay 2) it's perfectly okay to be gay. People are ridiculous.

Even my husband dosnt think it's a big deal.

Plus I don't care; if my son wants to be gay, he can be gay.

But I don't think anything at 15 months is going to influence him

Lmao. Ive dressed my son in my nieces clothes. Hes 2 and that was just the other day. At this age they dont know gay or straight. They see everything as either a fun toy or something that makes mommy laugh and to them there is no difference between gender specific things.

It is ok to be gay! Just ignore them and their ignorance
