Daniel_, I get where you're coming from (just sounded like you were assuming some stuff in your original post). If the parents are making assumptions and talking about it to his face, and encouraging him to date nice boys, that's one thing. If they're just coming to terms with the fact that he might be gay, I don't really see anything wrong with that. As long as they're supportive when he does hit puberty and starts to explore which team he plays for, I don't see a problem as long as they're not pushing him one way or the other. There's so much pressure in society at large to act hetero that I can't imagine he's going to date boys just because his parents think it would be okay.
