I'm having email correspondence with a young man (under 16) in California who loves an slightly older young man (about 16) in his school. My young friend is unsure that he is, himself, gay, but he loves his beloved with all his heart. From his description I am not at all sure that this is a sexual love, though I may be wrong

He wishes to tell him that he is beloved. He was going to do so on Friday, and has been emailing me for advice. He, not unreasonably, became nervous and wrote an (unsent) letter which he showed me. The letter was to be the mechanism, he decided.

I would like, please, your advice for him. My own advice made him think I was upset at him in some manner, and I think he will also value whatever you have to say.

When you advise, please know that he has a very strict home life, and seems afraid of his parents.
