I think I'd first ask him if he was sure. I'd ask if he felt it to his soul or if he, himself, was just... wondering. Then, either way, I'd assure him that I loved the stuffings out of him and thank him for feeling secure enough in our relationship that he could share this info with me.
I'd ask him to tell me what the hell his mother and I doing wrong in our living room. No matter what we try, we can't decorate to save our lives.
Seriously, though, if my daughter told us this I'd be okay with it. I'd want her to have kids some day, but at least the odds of her getting pregnant before college would be pretty low.
I would tell him that I love him unconditionally and I was be there for him in whatever decisions he will make. I believe you should be open and honest with youre kids. Its the 21st century these things happen. I will be proud of my son no matter whether hes straight or gay. I have alot of friends that are gay so Im kinda bias in my opinion. Plus I have experienced first hand so. Just be open minded
"I love you, no matter what. Where do I join PFLAG?"
Our son came out at 16 and after some shock that's exactly what we said. My wife was eventually president of Pflag Dallas for several years which helped us both. Today's he's in a happy committed relationship and we are all well adjusted.

Rakin, that is an awesome story. I'm so glad that you guys were able to work this out.
I have friends who are gay and have thought about joining PFLAG for them. Its time we all stand up and make our opinions known, rather then most of the marching being from hatemongers.
My daughter told me she had a girlfriend, and while I couldn't say I was thrilled by the news, I told her, "You're 22 now; you're old enough to know what you want. When do I get to meet her?"
It is so nice to hear people be so much more open minded. I had a few friends who came out in their teen years and it was so difficult with their family...
When my daughter gets older.. if she were to come to me and tell me she was a lesbian:
I'd be like "That's cool" and move on with life... doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.
