How should I support my 13 year old questioning his sexuality?

hi can I get some advice on what to do pls

i noticed on my DS (13) has been doing a lot of sexuality quizzes and has been asking ChatGPT on whether he’s gay or straight. Example question, that he has been getting erections seeing men on YT but not women and if that means is he gay

he has not spoken to either me or husband but he’s had issues, where kids at school have called him zesty or gay. I wonder if those comments are making him question everything. He’s saying to ChatGPT that he is really anxious and worried and just wants to know

we’ve spoke to him when those comments came to light that whatever and however he feels he is very much loved and not to worry about things and to speak to us as we are there for him

he doesn’t know I’ve checked his ChatGPT as he has archived them so obviously doesn’t want it to be seen

what should I do?

Great opening line, but when did your DH discuss sexuality with him?

DH hasn’t spoken it to him directly but we all did when we have been together when we spoke to him post those comments from other kids

Just ask him if there’s anything worrying him as he doesn’t seem himself. He might tell you. If not certainly don’t tell him you’ve ready his chat history.
