Qft.

One thing to avoid, perhaps, is identifying him too much by his sexuality, either positively or negatively. I think being too "supportive" of your gay son could be almost as damaging as being real negative about your gay son. Instead, just talk to your son, not your "gay son".

He may being hanging out with people, reading literature, etc. that really focuses on "the gay lifestyle", "gay issues", etc., which separates a person from the rest of society by focusing on, and even inventing, differences. He's your son, he's a man, and a pre-med student, not your gay son, a gay man, and a gay student.
