I was fixing him breakfast and then he tells me during it that he is gay and I was like upset so I told him to eat healthier and take vitamins so he wouldn't be gay and he said no! I am so frustrated with him now because he should know this isn't normal. I don't know if this is a phase or if he isn't eating healthy or not. He is like 17. I don't know what to do.

i think right now your nephew needs you more than ever. the aunt is the one that is always talked to about the personal stuff, because well face it, no one really wants to tell their parents. and you should be happy that your nephew trusts you. and since he trusted you so much, he probably assumed that you would support him. even if you are against gays, you shouldn't be against your nephew, for living a different way than you. and what do you mean "isn't normal"? people can love anyone they like. and i'm quite sure it's not a phase. and definitely nothing to do with food...?!

I personally do not agree with gay lifestyles however I have been told by friends who are gay that they don't have a choice. I have not been in their shoes so that is something that I can not say - but he is your nephew and right now he needs a lot of love & understanding. Maybe he really is gay or else maybe something has happened and he feels that is a safe route to take. You won't know until you sit down and talk to him. If he hasn't told others in the family then it is obvious that you are the one he trusts and decided to confide in - maybe he just needs someone to listen to him & not judge him.

Homosexuality is not a by-product of "not eating well". There is nothing you can do. It is probably not a "phase" that he will eventually outgrow either. Being gay is not something you wake up one morning and decided you will "try it out" for a while. It is a difficult lifestyle. I assure you he spent plenty of time beating himself up about it before deciding to give in. It is an indication of how much he loves and trusts you that he confided in you.
He is still the same person he was the day before he told you. One does not have to like or approve of everything that our family members or friend do, but we still love them. If you cannot just accept him as he is, you will lose him.
It was national "out yourself" day and he chose you to be the person he "outted" himself to. It was scary for him.
I have some very dear homosexual friends. It is not my place to judge their life. They have always been there for me in good and tough times. Don't push him away. Do some research on homosexuality.

Lol... You told him to eat healthy and take vitamins? Lol... Wow. Food doesn't make people become gay or straight. You need to be there for him because he obviously trusted you enough to tell you.

He's gay BECAUSE he was eating TOO healthy and taking too many vitamins. Ever wonder why you never see obese gay guys?

You don't do nothing but continue to love him. You can not pick another persons life for them so no matter if this is just a passing fancy or real --his choice and vitamins are not going to change it. Just love him.

WHAT THE HELL!?! YOU CANNOT TREAT HOMOSEXUALITY WITH FREAKING PILLS! It is something that is happen far before you come out of the freaking womb. Enough, you ignorant and pathetic woman!!! You dont deserve to HAVE family!!!! This is utter nonsense you mis-informed COW! Don't get on Yahoo answers if you just want to show the wired world your homophobic tendencies or ignorance. Ugh you make me sick. He's family, be happy!!! Be proud he finally found his sexual orientation!!!

what do you mean it isn't normal?
what're you, a homophobe?
he's 17, he's practically old enough to decide what he wants to do. you're an aunt, not his mother.
leave the boy be.
and if you thought eating right/taking vitamins would help, you honestly need some other guidance.
seriously. wow.
