[LiTTLeDizZyUriNe]

That kid is like 10 wtf is his parents doing letting him play Battlefield Bad Company?

[igrenade]

@LiTTLeDizZyUriNe

bf2 special forces, not bad company. it's a rated T expansion pack for bf2. do you have trouble listening?

[LiTTLeDizZyUriNe]

@igrenade ok so i got the name wrong but rated T is for teen. like 10 isn't teen or do you have trouble counting?

[igrenade]

@LiTTLeDizZyUriNe

lmao, trying to redeem yourself by replying with a pseudo witty comment? i suggest you to try harder.

children and teenagers of america are exposed to violence everyday, even without violent video games they'd still know what happens when you put a bullet in someone's chest. so what's the big deal with a kid playing a rated T VIDEO GAME? if you're so concerned then children shouldn't even watch tv, play sports, go outside, or do anything that our youths' been doing for ages.

The part where they decide who's gay by how they sit is bull s--t...like she says "oh he's straight and sitting so powerfully" or "waits thats a male? oh i can already tell" like seriously?? Also, by saying that homosexuality used to be thought to be caused by overbearing mothers and distant dads is referring to male children...Lesbians are totally left out of this picture!

[brentrusk]

this is amazing i was the way when i was 8 and i loved it with the nails and everything but my dad made me stop acting that way because hes super homophobic and it really f---ed me up! i would cut myself all the time and stuff but i got a counsler. but im 18 and im better now because my famliy finally accepted me for what i am :)

[jwarrior343]

1:55 the kid is either gay or trans-gendered

[msscott73]

@jwarrior343,

I agree. I am glad that she is accepting her son as he is.

[Adventureisntfar]

@jwarrior343 yeah. I wish my parents were that accepting. :/

I think this video is set up and staged to make a quick answer to explain how the "gay population" got here, but its bullshit. This is not the reason why people "become gay." I think the only thing it could prove is possibly in extreme cases transvestism, having a future sex change, because the boy said he considered himself a "girl."

[ElCierto]

This video is so biased.

[itsjustme2919]

I think the parents are to blame though. When children reach a certain age they can make that decision ie wearing nail polish etc. But I think when they are children as young as this you need to gently steer them. I bet this girly child winds up straight. He's mislead. He'll reach a certain age and realize...wait I like guy things. Girls too. Mom why did you fuck my childhood up?

[DAVIDAMORSE1701]

@itsjustme2919 You are the one who is wrong. Parents are doing the right thing. If he later likes more guy typical things so be it. But to force him no matter how gently to live how a typical boy would be cruel. He would be very unhappy. He loves his room and things as they are and you are so wrong.

[itsjustme2919]

@DAVIDAMORSE1701 I think its to the benefit of the child that gender roles be taught but they do not have to be followed necessarily. Whether we like it or not we do teach our children what men do and what women do, although involuntarily. To tell a boy its okay to wear dresses and play with Barbies is wrong. They don't know any better its your job to tell them. If they want a sex change at 18, then so be it.

[Paulwhoisvegan]

Oh my god! the way she just went "gay'! priceless moment! 4:50

[ShadeDeciple]

well, I'm a guy, I don't do girly s--t or act Feminite at all, I useally play Halo 3 on X-box live, or hang out with some of my friends doing random s--t and getting into trouble,..pretty much normal "guy stuff", but guess what? I'm gay. there are "Straight acting" gay dudes, cuz I'm one of them, if I didn't tell you I was gay and you met me, you'd never know. all that "Gay boys have to act Girly" is such f--king stero type Bull s--t.

[colombianassdigger]

@ShadeDeciple i hate, or atleast i get anoyed from people that thing being gay is a style

and at the same time it is funny :)

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

i was never sure..... unitll end of grade 10, well I looked in both sides and i leaned more on the sraight side....

[monkeygirl3000]

I was into power rangers big time when i was a little girl. I had buz light year toys, and i played mortal combat with what few dolls i had.

As you guessed im gay. This research seems very accurate to me . . . . . but

I wouldnt call myself masculine at all

[TheUniverse3000]

I know I'm straight. I've luckily never experienced mind wars in figuring out who I am.

[aicfan85]

what about gay men who act straight? yes they do exist.

[EndlessPalm]

Think thats mostly just being in a state of denial.

[Queerkunt]

They are just 'acting', trust me!

[aicfan85]

I don't mean men who are gay but pretend to be straight.. I mean masculine gay men, who are totally fine with being gay and letting everyone know it but do not really have any effeminate qualities. Not all gay men are flamboyant and obvious.

[miession]

Interesting :)

...I never had a barbie ore such stuff and I´ve always had short hair when I was a child, but I don´t think that this makes me gay ôO

I´ve never had a boy- or girlfriend anyway (I´m a late bloomer I know ^^")

[TheFutureUnquiet]

Good old, reliable "sexual orientation"! It would be unconscionable to travel back to 1978 to plant explosives in George Carlin's underpants.

[dizzin0nz]

while the stereotype that homosexuals make an informed decision to change or choose their sexual orientation is completely dismissed by actual scientific facts such as this underfunded research, the idea of wide acceptance and tolerance becomes another issues.................

At least such research gives us some hope of our own validation.........

[Nobama0000]

This old blond hag narrator is an idiot.

[wayindie]

i hadn't seen this. i find this report fascinating. i know first hand (not based on personal experience-i am straight not narrow) but have know a set of twins boy/girl that had their gender roles crossed. the boy ended up more feminine and attracted to men, the woman very masculine and attracted to women.

same thing for a relative of mine, he wasn't ever exposed to anything gay (small town) it wasn't learned it was the way he was from very early childhood.

[CannonsCrew]

I don't know how I feel about the reinforcing of stereotype study; I think we should be moving much further away from that.

I do find the study of genetics as interesting in the subject, would be nice if it became a funded research.
