I agree with the above poster. It sounds condescending. Even if it weren't a gay issue, telling what is likely a teenager(correct me if I'm wrong)that they don't understand something will trigger an upset.
I think you are coming from a loving place, which is good. This is just as much as a lesson for you as it is for him. Just accept him, quirks and all, don't doubt him, second guess him, or try to provide advice on sexuality.
Apologize for coming across as insensitive. Admit that you don't know what you are doing and ask him for help to figure out what he needs from you.
Is it normal my son came out to me, feeling disapointed?
