If you are Catholic, there is a ministry for those with same sex attraction that follows Catholic teaching (homosexual activity is sinful, all outside of marriage are called to chastity), called Courage. They are at the website linked to below. There is also a related support group called Encourage for family members of those with same sex attraction:
http://couragerc.net/index.html Please love your grandson, but remember that love does not mean having to affirm sinful homosexual behavior. And since he is so young, it may be that he is just confused at the moment. And pray, pray, pray.

Thank you for your very kind words and suggestions. I will investigate the couragerc website.
I love my wonderful grandson with unbridled affection and devotion. What I need is a mechanism to steer him away from what would be diviance from the norm. I still have an underlying thought that he placed those website locations on the IE address box just to shake me up, as he has a great sense of humor. Or maybe it's denial on my part right now. This is the mental uncertainty I face this evening. I'll check out the website you recommend above.
FRegards,
Vi

My son was attracted to the show about Queers and all the head jobs they got on the show.
He decided to be bi-curious. So I took him to Gay Pride and he relized he didn't agree with the politics being pushed then I took him down to the seedy queer neighborhood in Portland to go clubbing. He was mauled and after a night in "reality" he decided that going back to being to a chaste Catholic lifestyle. It was an eye opener. He still jokes around with the guys that if he won big on his weekly KENO ticket he would hire a female whore from the Ranch and fly her out for a night, make that two whores.
I can't stop him from his thoughts but I can show him the reality of using another human being and how that is just as bad as giving someone drugs or something to gratify or use them for your strong male desires.
I taught Chastity as the only way for a practicing Catholic that is not married. But he has seen it all from the titty bars to the seedy queer bars and he has slowly aged past his early twenties and has recommitted his life to his Catholic faith.
I never agreed with him but he needed to see reality and he is a smart young man.
His faith over rode his hormones. LOL now he has swung back to listening back to his old faves Christian Southern Gospel, Christian Comedy ect.
BTW When he went to the seedy queer bar he was not pleased at being mauled.
