This is a travesty - are people so
homophobic that they can't allow children (who at various ages are so eager and
excited to try on new personas as they develop their own) to be creative in
their own way? When my 3-1/2-year-old son was chastised by his Aunt for
using a dollhouse to play with his action figures (HeMan & SheRa), I taught
him the phrase "That's sexist propaganda." It came back to bite
me proudly several times later - when at age 7, he accused a mother sponsoring
a boy's birthday party that it was "sexist propaganda" not to allow
the boy's sister to join the group; and to me, when he was 10 and wanted to get
a pierced ear. What can I say? He got a pierced ear!
Today he is a heterosexual 30-year-old
who is an advocate for LBGTs and all other human rights. I am extremely proud of him.
