Question: From a friend who watches way too much TV.

Is painting a boy's toenails going to affect his sexuality?

Answer: Oh, my goodness, NO!

A photograph on a J.Crew online advertisement, set the tongues a-wagging last week. The scene was of a mom and her son enjoying each other's company. Nearby was a bottle of pink nail polish, and the 5-year-old boy was sporting pink toenails.

Whether its warranted or not, the more its put out there the faster it will become "normal" and people will be numb to it.  Let's hope other advertisers take their lead.

Only the boy'x toenails and 400K wingnuts will have gender identity problems.  The toenails will grow out and be healed in about 6 months, but the 400K will have grown logrithmically by then if they can do it.

Some people in America need to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the 17th Century.
