Boys who like the color pink

[bluntforcemama]

I'm talking about boys whose favorite color is pink. I used to have a boy whose favorite color was pink in my class. He was never teased, but I certainly remember it. It is odd, isn't it? No social stigma was enforced.

I got teased because mine is/was Orange.

Pink, well that's a different subject.

I have a boy in my class that LOVES pink. All the other boys seem to follow him too. It is very odd. He seems to be interested in a lot of "typical" girl things. In fact the other day he said " I am the only boy in the class who can hula hoop" lol

Gay. *nods*

Gay. *nods*

I do often wonder if his strong feminine tendencies are a sign of him being gay. He is only five.

I had never thought of this before, but recently was chatting with some male friends, and my husband who all happen, incidentally to be color blind... at any rate, they all had a different description to give of colors, most of them not being how I would describe a color. So, on the off chance that this guy who loves pink isn't really gay, maybe he just sees "pink" differently than the rest of the world. just a thought...

Don't get me wrong, I don't think just b/c a boy likes pinks it means he is gay. This boy loves butterflies, rainbows, and kitty cats too. Not that any of those necessarily means he is gay either. Just curious to see him in ten years.

I have a step son who is the same way. He's 11 now.. but ever since he was little he's preferred "girl" things. And he told us when he was about 3.. that he was going to grow up to be a girl. And at home he dresses in "girlish" clothing. Wears jeans and t-shirts.. but he prefers t-shirts with things like flowers and sparkles.

His twin brother is the complete opposite though.

We talked about it this morning. When (if) he ever comes to us to tell us he is gay.. we will say "we know". And probably leave it at that.

I don't think that because a guy is feminine in certain things that he is gay or bisexual - I think that is a stereotype that probably isn't true.

My fave color is blue, but I like bright colors because they are cheerful. I have often lamented that men's clothes are usually dull colors. I also am not that interested in many other "masculine" things, such as football and so on.

Regardless, I am not in the least attracted to other men, and I don't think that men who are gay or bisexual need to be feminine to be sexually attracted to other men.

There are other reasons that we believe he is going to be gay. That is just one of many.

Who knows though.. he could grow up to be a totally different person. But so far, the first 11 years of his life he's been the same.

I was half-joking, but a boy displaying feminine tendencies is often a sign that they will grow up to be gay. However, there is no correlation between masculine tendencies in girls and growing up to lesbian.

 

[sultresweetie]

I think someone that is gay is born gay. Sexual identity can be quite an eclectic animal... I think it is actually pretty difficult to put a label on it. How would you classify:

A man or woman that identifies himself/herself with the opposite sex (dresses and acts feminine/masculine) but is sexually attracted to the opposite sex?

A man that is attracted to women and has sex with TVs?

A bisexual person-are they gay or straight? Many doubt the existence of bisexuality.

A woman or man that is only attracted to a person of the same sex that looks like someone of the opposite sex?

Several men in my family are/were colored blind, particularly when it came to shades of red. My grandmother used to have to lay out my grandfather's clothes every day because he would put together the more horrific color combinations, claiming they were lovely together. He saw colors totally different than we did. And he was an artist as well. Strange, huh?

Well, there's a difference between being effeminate and homosexual, but the things you mention aren't necessarily even that feminine.

That being said, liking the color pink doesn't necessarily mean someone effeminate. It depends on what form of pink we're talking about *hint hint, nudge nudge*

Many creative people (artists, writers, etc.) see the world differently (quite literally in this case) than most others. In the sense that it's an unusual phenomenon, yes it's strange, but for that type of person it's not too unusual.

My favourite colour has always been black. My Grandmother was horrified.

She quite often prayed for my soul. Especially after catching me reading a Stephen King book.

In 9th grade when they had what they called a tea my mom wanted me to were a nice suit so she bought me a maroon with a very light pink french cuff shirt one person teased me until a girl jumped all over him she and two other girls walked thru the arch.

But in high school i had orange coveralls in auto shop i was teased like crazy i was called pumpkin.

Actually, your grandmother had the right idea as far as the psychological significance of your favorite color, even if she did overreact in a particularly religious way. Red has a similar meaning, especially if it's a favored color along with black *cough*GWB's av*cough*

So.. what does it mean if your favorite colors are black and red?

*sigh* my older son's favorite colour is pink. my husband is afraid of what that might mean.

however, he does show promise...we discovered yesterday while he was having some hockey lessons with his dad that rather than be a forward or defenseman he's much more comfortable being a goalie...which it is hard to find people willing to step in front of a quick moving puck to stop it.

Well they did believe I needed 'therapy' based on the above things and being caught smoking at 14.

The therapist was great. lol Assured me I was fine but poor old Gramma was weird.

As to the pyschology of colour?

Interesting links .

"BLACK.
Positive: Sophistication, glamour, security, emotional safety, efficiency, substance.
Negative: Oppression, coldness, menace, heaviness.

Black is all colours, totally absorbed. The psychological implications of that are considerable. It creates protective barriers, as it absorbs all the energy coming towards you, and it enshrouds the personality. Positively, it communicates absolute clarity, with no fine nuances. It works particularly well with white. It communicates sophistication and uncompromising excellence. It creates a perception of weight and seriousness (it is a myth that black clothes are slimming). Black is essentially an absence of light, since no wavelengths are reflected and it can, therefore be menacing; many people are afraid of the dark."

The common thought about liking the colour black is often that a person is goth or morbid person. I am far from that.
