From:I really wish the "it's a phase/he'll grow out of it" reaction actually surprised me, but I remember hitting it from Mum as a teen (and nodding along and verbally agreeing because I was 15 and she's always been the most reliable thing in my life), and people who are open-minded and liberal and humanistic can still have these attitudes and deep-down believe that life is much easier if you're straight (and if a little encouragement to live that way can sway the balance, it's best for everyone).
I mean, Mum's changed and adjusted her attitudes, and when I definitively came out to her at 20-ish, the reaction was far more supportive. But I've never bothered coming out to the rest of my immediate family -- they're interstate and we see them maybe once a year (twice on a good year, not at all on a bad year), and working through that initial reaction feels like too much work for too little outcome.
I think it says something really good about him and your parenting that he had the strong sense of self to be sure of it at such a young age. You supported Child to have his own voice, to be able to talk about it without feeling judged (or feeling that sense of disappointing a parent which is usually much more subtle but just as hurtful), and gave him the practical skills and know-how of how to do it safely online.
