I have a nephew that loved to play with a cabbage patch doll. He carried it with him everywhere when he was a little tyke. We got him a boy one and he loved it. His father was not supportive but he didn't say much.
This boy is now 32 years old and has a family. Never were we concerned with his being gay and never did anyone label him such.
I can't agree with schools and counselors assuming and labeling kids as gay because of their playing and aquaintence preferences. At one point in my life I thought I might be gay because I was sexually abuse as a child. It was a very intense struggle with me into my 20's and I was married at the time too.
Let kids be kids, they have a long road ahead and don't need to be type cast.
