text: Everyone has to start somewhere.\n\nIf it is true, as I believe, that those who are gay/lesbian are born that way, then it would be logical that a 6 year old could be gay. Whether they personally would know this at such an age, I don't know. It seems that 6 is a bit young to have a grasp of what we adults refer to as "sexual orientation," tho kids do have their own age-appropriate "sexuality."
