Best friend is now boyfriend

A few weeks ago DS 15 told me he is gay. He has a best friend who has been having sleepovers regularly and DS has now told me that they are in a relationship and have been for around two months.
He has asked if he can still sleepover, I don't know what to do. He is my eldest so haven't had to deal with bf/gf staying over before.

I think do the same as if it was a girl friend. You can’t change the past but a new boyfriend aged 15 - I wouldn’t do sleep overs at the moment.

Tbh I wouldn't want them having to creep around and find opportunities in uncomfortable or unsavoury places e.g. cars, outside, loos. Would rather both were safe, cosy and comfy in his own bed.
He isn't going to get anyone pregnant - nonetheless, I would still have the condoms/safe sex talk wrt STDs.
I would say personally, yes he can still sleepover as long as his parent sare okay with things, what they do is their business but keep it safe, enthusiastic consensual and keep it down so you don't hear it! Grin
although they have been quiet thus far
Make the bf welcome, treat him as you always have, make sure your DS feels he can be demonstrative but no PDAs over breakfast that would suggest Get a room - They have a room Wink
Go on as you were. It's really, really good that he felt he could tell you.

You need to be sure the boyfriend's parents are consenting to sleepovers with the full knowledge of the nature of their relationship.

They're underage, I would switch to own rooms
