Ok, you said boy and boy- so are you freaking out that your son is gay or the age difference? If it's just the age difference, it's not really that big of a deal. If it's 6 years, the older guy might be much more mature than anyone your sons age. Of course he could be just as immature as people your sons age. That's why I judge by the person and not so much their age. My best friend is gay and he prefers older guys for that very reason. They are more mature and my friend is at a point in his life where he no longer wants to date around and think long term.
Your son is 18 and is an adult now. He isn't really a boy anymore, but no matter what age he is, he'll always be your little boy. So I can see why you might be upset. Just talk to your son about it and see if you can't get the idea in his head to date people his own age if you think that would be better for him.

Not good, but not horrible. If he is an immature 24 and you have a mature son, they might be considered on the same level emotionally. It's not that huge of an age difference, the guy is only in his early twenties. I would say it could be much worse.

i think u should accept it if u see ur son is happy and not in any danger...
i mean thats what matters...
if it bothers u that he is gay or bi or whatever...then u got a problem!!
if he is happy....just let it be...
ofcourse im not a mother, so maybe im wrong...
but i am 17 and im seeing it from his point of view too...
the only thin that would kinda bother me from ur side is that the guy is 6 years older...
but i dont think its somethinh to worry about...

yeah this one is tough. i would say it would take some counseling just for acceptance of him being gay. Then the 6 yr difference you really can't do anything about. He's legal. I would feel uneasy for the whole thing and i even have some gay friends.

That isn't a huge age difference, and he is an adult. If it were my son, I would just want to make sure he was using protection, other than that, what business is it of mine?

If he were my son, I would be upset at first about it but then eventually try to accept the choice that he made. I dont think its right for him to live his life that way but you should continue to love and support him unconditionally and hope that he will change

I can't believe how homophobic and hateful people are.
If he was my son I would love him no matter what.
I wouldn't act any different around him or try to change him because that's who he is.

like my son was a homosexual...sorry...and I would be on my knees every moment I could praying to God that He would open his (your son's) eyes to the sin he is commiting and turn to God.
That is all you can do as your son is of age
sorry
be cool
