I wouldn’t worry just yet. I didn’t realize I was gay until I was about 11 or 12. I think your son is just curious. Is there a possibility he’s seen some of the hubub on TV about gay marriage? If so that may have just sparked the question. I have several straight friends who didn’t like girls at 5 – you must remember that girls have cooties, particularly at that age. Being sensitive and fastidious isn’t necessarily an indicator, either. I was pretty butch as a kid and turned out gay, so there’s really no telling. It’s more likely that he’s just developing his personality and his fastidiousness may be a blessing in disguise. At least you won’t have to nag him to keep his room clean. And keep this thought with you: the odds of him being straight are in your favor. I’m just glad that you’ve decided to support him if he does, in fact, turn out to be gay. My parents made the same statement, but didn’t follow through on it at all and it haunts me every day.
