Ugh. It makes me so angry when people are dismissive, or in denial about someone's orientation. "It's just a phase....You just want attention....How do you know? You've never had sex with anyone!" A cousin of mine teaches music to high school students. She recently got engaged to her girlfriend, and a young man (who had admitted to her in a private note that he himself was gay) had the nerve to ask "So, who's the lucky guy?" But again, kudos to your nephew, B. Glad that there seems to be minimal fuss about it.
