Today I found out my son is gay, and am wondering if I should tell him that i saw him and know he is gay, would you tell your son you know he is gay? Also my husband his father has thought for some time that he is gay, should I tell him that he is right about our son being gay?
i'm 17 and i'm bisexual. i don't really know, if i caught my child i would sit him down and tell him what i saw and tell him that if he is gay i'm okay with it, but just like any other person you need to respect yourself and have safe sex. you obviously seem like a good mom in the way you're handling it. if you were my mom i would be far easier to talk about that sort of thing. it makes coming out easier. good luck. Is my husband a homosexual?::
If he is gay, would you end it? If he isn't gay, would that make you happy? . Ann, if you simply level with your husband, tell him the not-knowing is

No.
You should let him tell you on his own.
But, you should let him know (discretely, i may add) that you approve of the homosexual lifestyle.
But, if you choose to do that, i suggest you don't overdo it.
Honesty can't be beat. Just don't be judgmental! You probably knew before he did, didn't you?

Yes, it will only hurt you're relationship if he feels that he has to hide it. Make sure to tell him that it doesn't matter to you, that it is not his fault, and it is nothing wrong.
If you don't tolerate gay people, then start to have a more open mind
I think you should talk to him. Be very supportive no matter what your opinion is. As always, we need to support our kids no matter what path they choose. If he hasn't come to you now he may already feel some type of disapproval, so be the best parent you can especially regarding this subject. Good luck!
tell him sure. so he knows that you support him...
I would talk to your husband about it, and see how you both feel about it. I would not confront your son untill you are ready to except him the way he is and not be judgmental.
if you plan on freaking out about it, then don't bother.
I personally wouldn't tell him I knew he was gay (depending how old he is, he may still be working that out for himself), but I would certainly take opportunities to make positive comments about people I knew and respected who were openly gay, or express my disgust with gay-bashing when I saw it, or comment on current events that had to do with gay rights (in the news right now because of Connecticut's recognition of gay marriage), so that I used multiple chances to make very clear to my son that I was fine with any kind of sexual orientation. I would want him to come to me in his own time, but I would want him to be sure that when he did come to me, I'd be supportive.
I personally wouldnâ ™t tell him that just because he might think you were judging him etc, but I think the best thing would be to set up son and mother date so you two can talk and let him know that you did indeed see him with the other guy and you are supporting him 100%. I think that will make him feel comfortable and able to come to you when he needs too.
If you do, just make it casual. You do not want him to be uncomfortable about it. If you sense him about to tell you just tell him you know already. Otherwise I would just let him tell you in his own time. Bring up that you would be fine with it and it may prompt the conversation.
no, don't tell him you know. wait until he's ready to come to you about it. regardless of what so many people think, this is about him and not you or your husband or anyone else for that matter.
Wait until he approaches you. His sexual orientation is not of your business unless it is causing problems with in the family. No matter what, love him anyway. Good luck.
Yes, I would talk to him and let him know that you saw. It'd probably be a relief for him not to have to hide it from you anymore.
