It is for some reason hard for men or boys. One day my son (16 years old) was shopping with me and we were in the hair coloring isle. Out of the blue he said, mom do I look gay like those men on the hair coloring boxes? I pressed him for a bit to explain what he means and why was he asking me this..... Long story short he said he was at the home depot with 2 of his friends buying something for a car and one of the men who worked there asked my son out. My son had never been in that situation before and this was a grown man so I think it was extra strange. He said no and the guy followed him around the home depot making "you’re cute" "nice butt" comments.

What my son took from the encounter was that he had done or said something to make this happen and it was something about the way my son looked that made this happen. It really did affect him, he stopped dressing nice, combing / cutting his hair and turned hmm... scruffy?

By the way the home depot refused to do anything, not even talk the man who worked for them about it. I boycott them to this day.
