I couldn't say exactly, but 7 years old is really young.
I have a brother who is 6 and I can't imagine him being aware of what gay means. He would be trying to kiss all the boys in his classroom if that was the case because he's just an innocent little kid.
And not that there is even anything wrong with little kids having affection towards each other, but do we really want them to start playing gay that young? He doesn't even know Santa Claus isn't real, let alone what being gay means!

I know it seems like I’m targeting you…I’m not. Its comments like yours that really piss me off. No doubt you are shadowed by the same ignorance so many people are.
Being gay is not about sex. It’s a lifestyle choice and should be entitled the same right of choice as anything else. Why should this choice, a relationship/love, be handled like a taboo or forbidden topic? Why can’t people just raise their children to be tolerant and accepting of all people regardless of race, gender or lifestyle choices? Lying to them to cover up a very real truth seems pretty fucked up to me.
My son was raised by two women. His world was full of choices, love and acceptance. We didn’t share our private sexual preferences with him. When he was 15 and asked me about sex I gave him some great books explaining all the different options including role-play and bdsm. I said, “Read these first then come talk to me.” We spent time talking about it. Through the years he’s dabbled in things and we still continue to talk about things openly. I would change my relationship for anything in the world. We have a very honest real bond. I would hide anything from him. He’s literally my best friend.
Get a grip on reality darling. Times are changing.
