Quote: "...is painting a boy's toenail (pink, red, whatever color) harmful? Do you think that will "turn" him gay?"

No of course not. And it's not just a gay kid who would enjoy having funky coloured toenails.

However when he lets it slip that this is an activity he enjoys doing with his mother, he will be dismayed at the over the top "we'll never let you forget this" reaction. Kids are not politically correct. Kids are not supportive or sensitive.

This mother is setting her kid up for the humiliation of his life, unfortunately.
