This could be due to most families today being single parent families; we did not ask this in our survey. The type of games the subjects played were typically gender neutral; only 9% played games respective to their gender. The type of literature read ranged from gender neutral to gender “appropriate;” however all subjects read some type of gender neutral literature. Eight percent of the homosexual men were not encouraged to play rough-n-tumble games, everyone else played rough-n-tumble games without fear of being reprimanded.

Conclusion

The type of costume a child wore was an indicator of their sexual preference. Judith Butler (1994) found a strong correlation between cross-dressing and homosexual identity. Her studies also found a strong correlation between transsexual identity and cross-dressing, but transsexualism is beyond the scope of this paper. All drag queens studied had cross dressed at some time in their childhood/adolescence, but not all homosexual males cross-dressed. Bell (1981) found more homosexual men than heterosexual preferred to dress in female costumes and pretending to be female on occasions other than Halloween (37 versus 11 percent). It is difficult to determine the sexuality of females since it is more socially acceptable for females to don “male” clothing (jeans, T-shirts, boots, baseball caps). It is less acceptable for males to dress in sequins and stilettos (although in the opinion of these researchers, some look fabulous in them). The type of toys a child was given had a significant effect on the development of their sexual identity. According to Green (1987), most gay males preferred playing with female toys, while most straight males preferred playing with conventional male toys. In his study, 77% of homosexual males reported having no male friends, having avoided male games, and having played predominantly with females. In a study done by Bell (1981) on homosexual and heterosexual males, there was definite differences in gender conformity. Eleven percent of the homosexual men (70% heterosexual) enjoyed male activities, such as playing football. More homosexual men preferred female games, such as playing house (46 versus 11 percent). Only 18 percent of the homosexual men recalled having been “masculine,” compared to 67 percent of the heterosexual men. The majority of homosexuals in this study had their first crush on members of the opposite sex. Hamer
