Start by telling him you love him and that will never change. Then stand by him throughout life and prove those words to be true. It may very well be a powerful shock and a incredibly emotional period for you. However, remember that he has had this within him for likely a long time. He has had to come to terms with it enough to tell you. That is courage that needs to be acknowledged.
I hope that your son as the most amazing of lives and that he reaps the inner joy that comes with being true to himself from such a young age.
