[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All good thoughts, but you are assuming a level of sincerity from the OP that is not there.  This was a troll post. Don't waste your time.[/quote]

By the way I am the OP and I am sorry if it looked like a troll post.  I was writing fast and didn't realize it came across poorly.  I have a son who is gay who is afraid to tell his teammates and it has been hurting me.  Apologies for starting something bad when I was just worrying out loud.[/quote]

I kind of thought this was the case. There is a bunch of missing context here- Players age? Rec vs HS vs Club?
First, I would say this in order to deal with your feelings you need to properly name them. I suggest sitting down and thinking about what you (and your sons) emotions are that are leading to these feelings. Without going too deep, I would suggest that both you and your sons emotion is fear. That fear is leading to the secondary emotion or feeling of sadness (and worry). What are you fearful of? (I suspect I know, but that is for you to find) Hint: acceptance?

Now, what is the motivation for telling his teammates he is gay? Does he want to tell them? Do you want him to tell them? What are you looking for in revealing this to the team?
