Rachel Griffiths' son's "gender issues"

There are many gay men in my life that are very close to our family. I don't think it'll be too long before they figure out that sometimes a man loves a man. Banjo is having his own gender issues at the moment: He's looking in the mirror and keeps telling me that the mirror's telling him he's a girl. I sometimes wonder when one knows when one's own child is gay.

Do your children know what gay or lesbian mean? Do you plan to teach them or wait until they come to you with any questions?

If you have a gay child, or are gay yourself, when did you know?
