Thanks for the question. There are a couple of issues that you're potentialy dealing with. The first is if your son has come out to you already, and, if you're finding out now for the first time. If he's already out to you, then a conversation is in order with him about the risks of posting on Craigslist, fibbing about his age, and so on. The discussion would be no different than talking with any kids coming of age. I'm sure you care for child as any parent does, and want them to be protected from the dangers of the real world. The second thing I see is if you are just coming to terms with your son's sexuality and also your own views of same sex oriented persons. A great site for you to check out is www.plfag.org. There you can learn how to handle the issues that you and your family are going through at the moment.
