Honestly, if my child we sufficeintly sexually aware at 10 to know if they were gay, I'd be deeply troubled.

Indeed. If they told me at, oh, 15, that would be a whole other story... I'd probably not be too happy but I'd accept it. But 10? I didn't really know what sex even was at 10... (okay, I knew that sex was what a man and a woman did to have a child, but I thought it was procreation-only and had less then no idea what a woman's privates looked like. I did like girls, though). All I knew was that 'homosexual/gay' was some kind of insult, thought 'bisexual' was a hermaphrodite (it actually can - Dr. McCoy in Star Trek referred to androgynous tribbles as 'bisexual' in "The Trouble With Tribbles"), and had no idea what 'horny' meant, let alone 'clitoris'. Okay, I was a bit naive for a 10 year old, but still...
