I don't think Alex would advocate feeding someone steak.
It sounds like you are open-minded, so that's a good thing IMO. As Dom says, I would just give it a bit, let him mature and start dating and then pick it back up.
One thing though, can you honestly say this about the bolded part?

I mean you aren't around him all the time. I'm not saying he is, but he could be making out with a boy and/or girl at his OWL class or something. Terrible in retrospect, but church youth group led to my first kiss, touch of a boob, etc. at about his age and all long before my parents thought I had experienced this stuff (but they kinda were idiots and couldn't believe I was having sex in college), and all carried out while I was off being a good Christian boy attending church and going on mission trips.
Another example: a birthday party sleepover at a friend's when we were kids. Two of the guys decided to play the "stick your dick in my ear game" (I still don't understand the point of this FWIW) which was pretty much the first clue to our group of friends that one was homosexual. This was confirmed many years later by him coming out of the closet.
I'm not trying to scare you, or freak you out, just letting you know (as I'm sure you do from the internet snooping) that there is quite a bit that goes on in a child's life that they intentionally hide from the prying eyes of their parents.
Regardless, if your son does end up being gay, I don't think he could ask for a more understanding dad than you.
