12 year old son may be gay and I'm concerned

[Pix]

First of all for the record I am not gay the site just made me put what "specifically" I am but there was no option for straight. Secondly I have a fiance (a woman) and we're very much in love. Got it?

Now that's out of the way my son is 12 and he's been showing some"gay" traits. He'd rather spend time in the kitchen with his mother than watch the footy with me and I've noticed he has some very odd friends. Mainly his best friend, a ginger boy with glasses who is also very feminine. They spend almost every waking hour together, even in school. I've asked his head of year if they can split them up but all I got was strange look.

Not trying to offend you people but is there any way I can make sure my son grows up straight? I'd like grandchildren one day and I'd rather not have to have another child if possible.

Spending time in the kitchen isn't in of itself a sign that he's gay. Lots of straight boys aren't all into that macho stuff just as not all straight girls are girly. One Australian is very straight but instead of joining a sports team (and getting naked with the boys) he instead took a home ec/cooking class just to be with the girls. And plenty of famous chefs are men and there's even a reality show of such a chef (Ramsay) who would probably do you proud with his "alpha" assholery (which I understand many think of as "being a real man").

If the boy is gay then there's not anything you can do about it without causing him harm (granted, you may not care about that as long as you get your grandchildren or don't lose face with the neighbors, etc, but I'm not going to advise on screwing up your son). And even if you can get him to marry and have children (which a few gays do) then it's not going to last...not only have you pushed him into misery but also the woman he married and the kids (your grandkids) he had, which I mention just in case I'm wrong about you and you actually do have a shred of decency and compassion.

If he does end up marrying a man he can still have children. There's even ways to pass on his genetics if he really wants (and I'm sure by the time he's ready to have children the gay friendly fertility clinics and such will be even more amazing) though given the children that need good homes and world overpopulation I'd hope they'd adopt.
