Gay or straight it really doesnt matter.
...and imo the "concerned parent" bit about it being hard for him growing up gay/bi sounds like rationalized homophobia fwiw. Support him.
I don't agree with this statement at all. Gay people have more difficult lives in our society, and much higher rates of suicide (this is one of the reasons people arguing that it is a choice are wrong: most rational people would not "choose" to be gay in current American society.) People still get beaten up/discriminated against/harassed for being gay/bisexual. Bisexual men may have even MORE difficult lives because often they are rejected by both heterosexuals and homosexuals.
Worrying that your child's life will be more difficult if he is gay is facing reality, not being homophobic. It can be used to justify homophobia, yes, but worrying is also what parents do. A parent that is perfectly okay with her child's sexuality, whatever it may be, may still worry the way she might worry that her child's life will be more difficult because he is dyslexic. In both cases, the answer is to love your child and support him and do your very best to give them coping tools.
