I need advice.
My son is 17 and I would like some advice on supporting him. I believe he is Bi or gay but will not admit or wants to talk about it. I think it’s great but I want him to embrace it.
Any ideas??

There an age range where almost everything MAY BE confusing.
But something is probably true: they need more peir acceptance and place among them than perent´s words.
Be open to listen to him, but don´t force a talk.
Support his choices but know that some of them are still in the future.
And that a affectionate but not overacted care and stable emotional enviroment will do more than what talking about what he still have no words for (or, at least, not now with his mother) may help.
Years ago, I had to deal with learning to be the father of three girls, with not available mother´s role.
Not the same, not easy, but feasable.
Courage.
