FYI– all those action figures that little boys play with ARE DOLLS!!!! Tell Mike that one.

None of my boys ever asked for dolls, but it would not have bothered me if they had… I could have bought them. And David–his favorite colors up until recently have been baby blue and pink! Yes, pink… but even he is aware of the stigma attached to it and keeps those facts between us, only sharing them with dad on occasion. He also likes girl toys of all sorts, but he is aware and represses his desires for the toys, again only confiding in me and with clarification that he knows they are girl toys… but they are so much prettier than the boy toys, they have more gadgets with them, they are more about human interactions. David is very visual and likes beauty–in nature, in stories and in items and toys. Does it make him homosexual–no. It just makes him a sensitive individual with an eye that many men may not have or simply may not acknowledge: sparkle, glitter, and color can be fun…. especially as a child!

I had a kewpie doll when I was 3 (at least the photos my mom took of me prove that) and I turned out pretty straight. So I am living proof the doll did nothing. Great post and voting NO on 8 will keep hate out of the Calif. constitution. martymankinsÂ´s last blog post..Letâ€™s Make Out Like Weâ€™re 16 Year Old Virgins

That was really well stated. They had a doll in my son's montessori classroom. Part of their curriculum was playing with that doll. I always found it really sweet watching my son nurture it. It can be such a blessing. I'm doubting the power of a toy to choose a child's sexual orientation, as I always played with Ertl tractors and such. But I guess that's the double standard: girls can have their hair short and wear jeans, but a boy can't do the same. Hey isn't that a Madonna song?

Well said. I’m a strong believer that nature, not nurture, determines our sexuality; society, our parents, etc — the nurture part — will only serve to either encourage or accept a natural tendency, or tamp it down.

Get another relative to buy the doll
