The complexity is that he didn't tell you, and doesn't know that you know, but you found it off the Internet, and he is coming from a very conservative family.

This should get u prepared on how to deal with it and how ur gonna be there for him. Before comin out ppl are scared of acceptance and maybe thats why he hasnt told u but be ready when he decides to tell u, or maybe u could tell him and let him know that he's still ur friend and u accept him as he is.

You love him & treat him just like you did yesterday. It wouldn't hurt to somehow get in the fact that you find nothing wrong with being gay & if you ever had a friend who was you'd support him. If you can't find a way to bring it up use the Rosie/Trump war & say something to the affect of you think Rosies great for having such self confidence. It's just a suggestion if you need it

Be there for him and be an especially kind and understanding friend. He isn't all the way out yet, so he needs all the support he can get. If you think he might want to talk, casually bring up gay rights or a gay celebrity and say you support them. It will give him courage to come out.

If he was your friend before, he is still your friend. Maybe he wasn't sure how good a friend you were and hesitated. Sometimes we, including myself, tend to look at what others could or should have done for us. We forget how we may have slighted a friend, even unintended, we may have not always been there for our friends. If you care as a friend let him know it doesn't matter. This is a story I always remember: I'm your friend, if you cry, I'll cry. If you laugh, I'll laugh. If you need a shoulder, I'll be that shoulder. If you want to jump off of a cliff, I'll miss you. You don't have to be gay to be his friend, just in case that was in the back of your mind.

I would mind my own business, respect his space, and let him work it out for himself. If you were a true friend, you'd accept him as he is. Maybe if you are alone with him you could ask him about it if it bothers you, but what it would be like if the shoe was on the other foot? How would you feel if you were exposed? I'd let it ride for now. If he trusts you, he'll end up telling you anyway.

Just treat him the way you always did before you found out. And yeah dont mention it to him, if he wants to tell you, or anyone let him do it on his own

Just keep quiet until he ever tells you (or not) and be a supportive friend.

There's nothing you really should do, unless he tells you himself. It's his business. If he does tell you, just try to be supportive.

There isn t much to do. Just continue being his friend and support him, and wait for him to tell you (that's if he wants to). and take it from there!
