How Do I Get My Son To Realize That He Is Not Gay?


Last week, our teenage son told us that he is gay, and that he has a boyfriend. Obviously, this is completely unacceptable, but we understand that our son has a serious mental and spiritual illness. However, we are having trouble getting him to acknowledge that he is not gay despite doing everything right as far as I can see, and wondered if anyone had ideas on how best to handle this tragic situation.
We’ve spoken to him at length, but instead of being agreeable, he bursts into tears and threatens suicide: the latter threat has strained our family to the extent that one of us needs to watch him at all times to make sure he doesn’t do anything silly before he can be cured. Our pastor has spoken to him without better results: he suggested we contact Exodus International, which we have. We have already arranged for my son to receive intensive therapy from a program affiliated with Exodus International. While awaiting the start date of the therapy, our son has access to several informative books such as “Coming out Straight,” which he has been refusing to read with any enthusiasm. Lastly, we’ve blocked all communication between this corrupting boyfriend and my son so the wrong relationship no longer exists.
Any ideas?
