Gay 14 year old son

[Idliketoteachtheworldtosing1]

So my 14 year old came out to me the other day and I know that it is a massive thing for him but I tried to be as supportive as possible and reassured him that it isn't an issue, I'm not sure his older brother will see it that way but that is his problem and he no longer lives in the family home anyway.
This is completely new territory for me and I wondered if anyone could recommend good websites I can go on.
Thanks in advance

Unless your son is looking for some help here I'm not sure why you would need to go on websites?

He is gay, not broken.

I know that I just want to be able to support him as best I can, he is still so young and vulnerable.

FFLAG is a great organisation; they have downloadable resources and can also put you in touch with other parents of LGB children.

How would you support him if he were heterosexual? Just do the same thing unless he encounters any homophobia then obviously its different and I can understand why you may feel you need support but don't go looking for problems when there aren't any.

What kind of information are you looking for on websites?

I’d just support him the same as you and pups any child starting to discover their sexuality. Have conversations about consent, healthy relationships, porn not being realistic etc etc

Thank you for your responses I will take it all on board.

Well done for being a parent he can trust to tell. I think the best way to be supportive is to follow his lead. When he wants to talk about it, listen. When he doesn’t, don’t mention it. As someone said above, you wouldn’t discuss heterosexuality, unless an issue presented itself relating to this.
