People are born gay. No matter what the parents do a kid will be straight or gay depending on what they are born with. OTOH, beauty pageants have been reported as extremely bad for little girls, it makes no sense to drag boys into it. No matter how good the parenting is, bullying and taunting leave marks for life. Kids can find other interests, a beauty pageant isn't worth ruining a childhood over.

Pageants for anyone under 12 are WRONG. Whether it are boys or girls.

This mother was just horrible to Zander. She shouted at him on stage and showed that she has a really bad temper. When Zander had a lamp shining in his eyes and couldn't look in the direction she wanted him to, she whacked the lamp, her mum was holding something and she smacked that to the floor. And she did all that in front of a camera. What is she like when there is no camera around? She is one scary woman.

i dont like pagents and i think it is bad for parents to put them in but this kid changed my mind he seems truly happy he seems like htis is somthing he wants to do

this mom is actually the worst ever.

if you watch the tlc toddlers and tiaras episode she is on she is terrible.

her kid is so sweet and happy and when he won personality she was like ''how is that possible?!'' she keeps talking bad about her kid

[pirates09rock]

why does the psychologist keep trying to talk about homophobia?? Yes some of the boys will be gay but some wont!

[PACMANnot]

Oh, my nonexistent son is going to be in a beauty pageant, that MUST MEAN he's gay.

Bullcrap.

[afonsords]

from my point of view pageants are horrible... but if girls do it.. boys are equal. so...

[BieberTeamTN]

is it just me or are pageant moms really fat

[yourpolice]

They should go in mother/son pageants. Make that sloth limp up across the stage in front of judges.

[serpechia]

The mom actually sounds rather rational- especially while hearing her talk about her other son. I am looking at this from the perspective of someone who knows people can be born gay. I think she is just trying to nurture her (most likely gay) child. But I do agree that pageants make people into vain, obnoxious people. At the worst- this child will grow up to be an obnoxious gay guy with way too much mirror time being spent. At best, he will grow up not feeling terrible about liking himself.
