It's not my fault she's gay

So my ss5 and I are very close. Me and my husband ( his dad) have him during the week and the bm has him on weekends. His mom has been dating a girl (a butch girl) for a couple of years now. Now ss5 has been asking me questions about being gay, like is it ok or is it wrong etc. So me being the open minded person I am expalined to him that sometimes people of the same sex fall in love and that it's not ok to make fun or tease a "gay person". So ss5 says to me, My mom has a girlfriend" is she gay? I said maybe. Now Bm calls husbands phone screaming mad asking why I told her son that she's gay! Like she wants to hide the fact that she is either bisexual or gay. My thing is if u want to hide it, why is the girl living with you? Why do u have an open relationship around your son? And most importantly why are u with a girl if u don't want to be considered gay? By the way she's had a history of being with girls even before she met my husband ( her ex). Maybe it's because she still thinks her son is 2 and oblivious to the things she does. Now am I wrong for telling him the truth?

Wow. I have seen some narrow minded people, but usually they are not gay/bi themselves! Did she think he would not question why she had a girlfriend eventually?? Maybe SHE should have told him instead of making him go to someone else for answers. She obviously have some issues with herself.

Personally, 5 is a little young to even be questioning sexual orientation. You have to wonder why.

I've dealt with this issue personally but dealing with teens. When it comes to anything regarding BM, I simply tell them they would have to ask her because I don't know. Keeps you out of a lot of trouble.
