"Gay" By Society

When people see a little boy cooking, playing with dolls, and dressing up, often the thought crosses their mind that the boy will be gay when he grows up.  Honestly, this very thought has crossed my mind before, sometimes multiple times.  This mentality and terminology has become an integrated, fundamental part of our society.  Is this good or bad?  I believe that this mentality will continue to perpetuate our problem with people identifying as gay and lesbian, and things will continue to go downhill.

What's so wrong with boys being artistic, domestic, and sensitive?  These traits are desirable and good, and limiting these qualities to girls is depriving boys of good, wholesome experiences.  These very qualities are often what I think of when I think of Christ; He is loving and kind to everyone, and He's sensitive to others' needs and desires.  I think boys who act this way should not be labeled as "gay", especially since "gay" is something we've invented and created in our world.
