You cannot always "decide" your sexuality.

You are one sexuality and that's that. You cannot really change what you feel now can you?

If his family is not open-minded about homosexuality, he should still not be afraid to come out of the closet. His family should love him the same whether he is gay, bi, or straight. If not, then his family needs some councelling.

I know how hard it can be to accept that maybe you have feelings for the same sex. I denied it for almost 10 years. and still many more deny it for longer.
but denying it does no good. He's gonna have to face it eventually, its not something that will just go away.
its not a matter of whether or not you want to be. Many LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual) individuals would give anything to be straight.
but eventually most of them come to accept it and eventually can even say they're proud to be LGBT.
just give him some time.

as for the family, I'd suggest he doesnt tell them right away. Its good to tell them eventually, but if they aren't terribly accepting, it might not be a good idea to do it right away.

thats how things should be, but thats not the reality of many situations.
I have a few friends who were kicked out of their homes because they told their parents that they were gay/bi.
people shouldnt have to be afraid to come out, but sometimes that fear is justified.
