Dear Will,
How does a mom let her 18 year old son know she knows he prefers boys? I've known since he was 5 or 6 years old.
HELP!!!

Dear T.
This is an easy yet complex situation. The easiest thing (and probably the best) to do is nothing at all. Just wait and let him tell you when he is ready. You don't want to run out and buy your PFLAG accessories just yet. However, with that said, let your feelings be known. Bring up gay topics and issues in casual conversation so that he knows whether or not you are accepting of a gay son. If you are, let him know that it's okay for him to come to you about anything. This reminds me of the episode of Ugly Betty where the family has discovered that Justin is gay. Hilda decorates the house for a surprise coming out party. It looked like a bag of skittles exploded in the room. Don't do that. You'll cause him to undergo years of unnecessary therapy.
