Accused of being Gay?

I am a hair stylist and I have a family of clients that I have grown fond of. The boy is going into 7th grade this year and told me today, while I was cutting his hair, that the other boys at school make fun of him and accuse him of being gay. I have grown to be very fond of this family, and it KILLED me to hear that he is being tormented this way! He is a good looking boy and has a personality that matches his good looks! He is very sweet and kind, which is unusual for boys his age. All I could think of to say to him was 'Next year will be different, they'll move on to someone else.' ... HOW LAME! What I wanted to say is fight back, but I am not a family member, I am thier family stylist and it's not really my place to say anything! I know my place with clients, but what I said was just so generic! All I wanted to do was make him feel better and crap came out of my mouth because I couldn't say what I really wanted to say! What CAN I say without violating my boundaries?

Accused of being Gay?

you probably said the best that you could. so what if they say he's gay in 7th grade they barely know what sex is even when they have it. it's not a big deal in the course of his life and if he's as good looking as you say he is he won't have a problem no matter what side of the fence he plays.

Accused of being Gay?

Every guy has been callled gay these days. My freinds say I am gay, hell my girl freind has called me gay. I also say "you are gay" and "that is gay". They dont actually think he is gay, it just is the new way to insult people. Tell him to fight back!Of course you are not family, but that just means he will value your opinion over his family. He needs to get a girl freind. If he is cute like you said, it shouldnt be that hard. Give him pointers on how to pick up a girl.
