I don't think I've ever met a toddler who didn't like rainbows and books and bananas.

If he sees a baby eating a banana as something sexual, he's not a supressed homosexual. Gays don't like little boys, they like other adult men. Pedos put sexual meaning to little kid's behaviour... Your husband needs a therapist. I also wouldn't leave him alone with the kid.

Had this sort of thing with my first husband. Not allowed to put "make up" (talcum powder) on the baby because it would make him gay. He would swear that the baby powder was "pink" no matter how many people told him it was white. If the husband refuses to seek counselling take the baby and get out before the situation escalates.

Oh my. Father has some MAJOR issues. It's time for him to self-reflect on why he's always carrying a torch for homosexuality.

Is the father afraid he might be gay? Are certain feelings pushed aside / suppressed ? To me it seems so. Also, little kids, ALL little kids love rainbows, flowers, butterflies, cookies and unicorns (I still do). I'm getting mixed feelings about this one tbh.

How the everliving f**k is it gay to read?!!??!?!?!

Holy toxic masculinity, Batman! I'm more than ready for it to be okay for straight guys to like colors and glitter without it making them "gay." If you're gay, you're gay and if you're not, you're not. I don't think it should have anything to do with what kind of material objects you like. Fellas, you do you.

What the f**k did i just read

That father is batshit crazy.

Dude sees sexuality in a baby at all is your BIG RED SIGN. No joke. If it were it would have passed, but he's still doing it. Write everything he says that references sexuality about your child down. Don't blow it off, or let someone say it's silly.

Oof, dad has ISSUES.

If that man seriously thinks a child so young has any interest in anything romantic/sexual towards any gender - you need to run the hell away. Secondly? If he's so critical that his 1 year old may be gay, he's probably not going to be accepting if your child actually did end up gay several years down the line. A father like that is no good for a child who is just starting to explore the world around him. Kid doesn't need that kind of casual homophobia and misogyny/toxic masculinity in his life.

Fellas, is it gay to like women?

Dude… I read books ALL. THE. TIME. Doesn’t make me any different. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Ugh. Husband clearly has issues and doesn’t understand how gay works. I struggled with this with my own husband and son. My husband has had a very restricted upbringing and thought that my painting my son’s nails would make him gay. After a lot of talking and some gentle mocking, he’s updated his mindset and wouldn’t care if his sweet, caring, football hating, flower loving son was gay or not. The husband in this post needs educating and perhaps some therapy.

I think hubby might be the one to look at. ANYONE that freaked out by gays are SUPER suspect. But we don't want him just the same.

Deeply disturbing. I hope this doesn’t escalate. Good for the mum for calling him out on it and defending her child. Hope she gets her family involved for back up and gets husband some help

Divorce ASAP. What the hell is wrong with people that they partner and then REPRODUCE with people like this? Don't tell me you didn't know the guy was homophobic before you married him. bullshit.

Babies are not capable of having a sexuality! They are simply exploring their world as they notice more things about it. Colours are pretty! And how else do you eat a banana?! Tell him he needs to attend therapy to explore his own issues and why he's obsessed with it.

I will from now on refer to make-up as "grown-up crayons". Thank you. And yes, stupid husband.

Every toddler likes those things. Nothing strange about it. But dad needs therapy. Like years ago.

This guy needs a psychologist

Hate to break it to you, sweetheart, but hubby might be gay and in denial. Only someone really in the closet projects so much over sexualised behaviour on a baby.

Me thinking 23-24 year old are still children and they're having kids on their own lol

She says that they have some gay friends, of whom the husband is accepting, but when it comes to his own son, all of a sudden he's freaking out about it. This tells me he doesn't really believe what he's showing to the world. As for the banana eating...oy, that's a whole other problem. I hope he gets counseling.

This is the kind of post I NEED an update on

My cats also like rainbows that come in through the window. They can't even see all the colors, and have been liberated of their reproductive organs.

This might be the creepiest thing I've ever heard. Keep the kid. Dump the hubby.

I probably sound old but to me being married means working together against the problem and helping each other develop. Becoming a parent is one of life's biggest challenges and most people find it brings up things from their own childhood that you need to review. It sounds like he's comfortable with having gay friends but this has touched a deeper spot in him. Time for a gentle conversation to point that out and agree how he's going to explore it without projecting it onto your child.

This "dad" is nuts. Liking flowers and rainbows doesn't make you gay and neither does any of his other idiotic reasons. I don't understand why this man is putting a sexual orientation on a one year old in the first place. My dad knows how to sew and can draw really well. Does that make him gay? Absolutely not.

Maybe husband will be happier if poor kid turns out an addict because of dad

Divorce this idiot and take yourself and your son far, far, far away from him.

I'm starting to think that the husband might be gay and that's why he's so obsessed.

Everyone thinks he is gay himself or possibly homophobic, but I have a different concern. Call me paranoid but if I were you I would be checking your husband's computer for child porn! I would also start watching very closely how he acts around other small children, especially young boys. He may have pedophile tendencies.

I think he is gay and is repressing it. So lets direct all the attention on the baby and away from dad and his possible sexual tendencies. I wonder if he would have reacted the same way if his son would have been a girl instead? Its really sad and mom really needs to get dad some help before there is damage done to the baby.

w o w 1. this man is sexualizing fruit and a (let alone HIS) toddler 2. literally none of these things are gay? i'm sorry? why shouldn't this literal 1 year old like flowers and sunshine? he's one, he's exploring the world for the first time. let him live 3. i agree that there are signs that can prove a child is gay from a young age, such as crushing on members of the same sex, or making generally LGBTQ comments about themselves (such as "I don't want a husband/wife, I'd rather marry a girl/boy"). if this is how the man treats his own kid, imagine what it'll be like once the little guy has friends..

he doesn't sound overly intelligent. Just tell him "gayness" is passed down in the y-chromosome (from the father) and if the father isn't outwardly gay it means its recessive in the father and generally comes out later in life

I would be saying, "Yup! He's totally gay." You may as well face it now. Get out while you can and maybe we can find the kid a decent male role model.

This man needs therapy
