Gosh, it's been a while since I saw much activity here...

Well, I wish you and your nephew the best of luck; as long as he's got a strong ally in you, at least he's got someone to count on. However, you probably shouldn't tell the rest of the family unless he gives you permission.

Google "lgbt resources" for stuff that might help. I'd link to some, but I think LJ marks it as spam.

You do NOT out him to the rest of the family. That is a right of passage and should be done y him when he is ready. That is one of the worst things you could do at this point. What some of the best things you can do are: be a listening ear. Answer his questions. Are you LGBT? Share your own experiences. Also, he needs some self esteem work... Possibly some xounseling to help him learn to stand up for himself and use his own voice.
