My lad came out as bisexual last December but I brushed it off as a "thing" as his online gamer pal was saying he was bisexual and they had this virtual relationship. I'm not sure if he is confused as he used to talk about it and I read his texts recently and his chatting to another lad about the same age but pretending his a girl, yet I overheard some horrible things while he was gaming saying that he wanted to run over all the gays etc. I was thinking that maybe someone has been homophobic towards him and now his questioning his identity which might also account for him seeming so sad and almost seeing depressed.

I will have a chat with him but I'm also wondering if there is any information to give to him regarding identity issues which could help make sense of things if it is the case?
