Laura and Mark Have a Positive Attitude Towards Same-Sex Affectional

Laura and Mark have a positive attitude towards same-sex affectional orientations. Their 12-year-old son David has always preferred "feminine" activities and conveys a somewhat feminine persona when speaking. He has shown no interest in developing romantic relationships in middle school, though many of his peers are "dating." Laura and Mark suspect David is a gay adolescent. What is their best course of action?

A) Wait until David is 16 years old, but encourage him to speak to a therapist about his sexual identity before he becomes sexually active.
B) Assume David is a gay adolescent and impose the identity on him by talking to him "as though they already know" to help him be less fearful of "coming out."
C) Wait and allow David to express his sexual identity on his own.
D) Discourage David from adopting a gay sexual identity because this will likely lead to his being teased and ostracized.
