I agree I came on to this website to look for advice regarding sexuality, I am worried that my son is being pressurised by peers to be gay. He is 16 and quite immature, I know I shouldnt of but i checked his MSN chat logs and found that a boy of 17 fancies him and by the looks of things is pressurising him into going out with him. I dont know whether to talk to him or not, if he is gay thats his choice I will still love him but I just feel he is being pushed into it. He only had one girlfriend and that was a few years ago.
