With the evergrowing controversy regarding homosexuality and gay marriage vs traditional lifestyles and conservative views, we look to our society more often as a template for what's right and wrong. Often we are placed in a senario, feeling as if our back is to the wall when it comes down to accepting or not accepting the choices of our children.
This is my opinion of Keri Fisher's article, Little Boy Pink, as she describes her very own issues with the acceptance of the possibilty that through her sons display of crossed gender roles, she might have to accept that he might be gay. She argues that his display of femininity is possibly caused by him having all female playmates. With having experienced this gender reversal role as a pre-school teacher, I also view this role reversal as normal. Children experience things differently. If a boy playing a female dominant role is determined controversial in our society, and determines that he will be gay, then on the other hand, what's to say that a girl playing a male dominant role won't be either? All in all, I believe that it comes down to Fisher dealing with acceptance.
