A prehomosexual is a person, usually a child, who may be a homosexual but is either undecided or predetermined.^[1][2] A prehomosexual may be determined by "inverted pattern[s] of sex-typed childhood behaviors" such as boys interested in makeup or girls interested in sports based on answers from randomly sampled gay men in a study by J. Michael Bailey and Kenneth Zucker.^[1]
