ok all I havent posted since a long time in regards to my son and his sexual orientation. Awhile back, I “confronted” my son about his sexuality and being gay and he denied it (deep down I knew that he was) - I let him know that no matter what his sexuality was that I was here and would stand behind him 100 percent - after the conversation, i did not approach him or bring up the topic again.

Fast forward a few months - My son knows that I go on facebook and mysapce. I noticed a few weeks back that he came out online, but has yet to approach me on the subject.

This is where I need advice - I have a son that is in 9th grade (same school). I do not believe that the husband is aware of my sons sexuality. My nephew up in Buffalo questioned my mom about my sons sexual preference, and my mom played it off as she ddint think he was, although I had told her. At that point, she did not realize my son and put it on myspace and facebook. Since I know my son is and its out and about up in NY and we live in NC, should I talk again with my son - or should i let him come out to me. Also, I was thinking of informing my husband, so that he wouldnt hear it from anyone else.

I love my son no matter what his sexual preference is. I want him to know that I stand behind him 100 percent and want to help him deal with all the emotions etc of coming out and discuss with him safety precautions etc. I have a sister that is a lesbian, and have learned alot from her.

Advice needed.
