I would push him to go to counseling or therapy or to a psychiatrist ASAP.
Depression rates are higher among LGBT people. Suicide is as well. They should not have so much trouble, youth I mean, they need added help. He needs to learn that gay isn't a moral definer, it's nor good nor bad, just is. He's not a bad person for being gay, we don't get a say, it's just how we are. He also needs to know life gets way better as he gets older. Also that gay doesn't have to define him, it only tells others his sexual orientation, nothing more. He can still have a good life, but instead of a wife it's a husband, but that aside he can still have kids, and a family, and be happy. It's only one minute factor in things.
But try to get your friend into a counselor, especially if he can get one with LGBT experience. He should not have to work through this alone, there's people out there that can really help.
Lastly, tell him that he is never, ever alone in his struggle. There's hundreds of thousands of other people his age, all going through the same thing. And all of us who've made it through know that it gets better as time goes on, way better.

Well, are you accepting of this? If so let him know. Are you weirded out by this? If so, try to find out why and if this is really a big deal to you. Letting him know that you're struggling with coming to terms with it will maybe bug him some, but any struggling you're doing with it is a fraction of what he likely went through.

i have a lesbian friend who was sad because she was how she was, and to help her, i just used to sit with her and wait for her to speak. kind of like therapy, but with a friend, a known person.

"OK." That is pretty much it. It wouldn't make a difference to me.

You look him in the eye and SINCERELY tell him, "Thanks for being a friend and trusting me enough to share that with me."

I give him a hug and a kiss then welcome him to the family.
