I think he had been trying to figure it all out and also navigate teenage social life, so he kept it completely to himself for a long time. We've always been very close, and I've wondered, if I had been more receptive when he brought it up, whether he might have felt comfortable in confiding sooner, and less afraid of judgment. Of course, it's also possible that he needed time to come to terms with his difference from the mainstream, and that nothing I did or did not do made a difference.
The story has a happy ending, however, as he is now 24 and very comfortable with his sexuality, as are his friends and family.
I have no advice on the porn issue, but would suggest that you stay sensitive to how difficult it is for a young person to grow up adjusting to their own differences and that you make sure your son knows you'll cherish him for who he is. Happy mother of a gay son
