Just sit on it. One of mine is gay and I've always just accepted it. I let them tell their Dad too. Not my job. Just give him extra love...tell him you're there to talk about things and I also offered to help mine find a LGBTQ youth club if they wanted but they don't at the moment.

It sounds like you are being supportive and thats the important thing

As you say don’t betray his trust, once he knows you are accepting that might help him talk to his dad

You did the right thing. I have two out of four who like males and females. Fair play I say.
