Camps are a no no. "Praying the gay away" will just cause you to be associated with the leftist image of a bible thumper.
Ultimately you can figure out why, the cause and how he really feels about stuff. But you have to tread lightly too, as he is entering an age where he has to make his own experiences and mistakes and ultimately find his own way.
But if you stopped loving your son because of it, or are willing to completely destroy your relationship over trying to "fix" him, then you are the one who would be truly lost.
Again, he will have to learn to live his life without you, and he is entering the age where he should start to do so. You can choose to support him, or you can choose to permanently damage your relationship just because he isn't following the path you want him to at this moment.
To me, the easy choice is clear. I would choose my son, flaws and disagreements all, over trying to make him conform to me. Trying to force that will just create another leftist and cement into him that they're right about all conservatives.
