Well I wouldn’t be arranging any Shidduchim with someone I think may be gay.
I also agree with the question above, how do you know?

I would proceed as normal. Why does anything need to change?

Ask your LOR if your husband/sons should be shomer negia/avoid yichud with him. Otherwise, continue to treat him the way you did before, serve him kosher food, involve him in Shabbos conversation....

Some of this sounds a little weird…”serve him kosher food.”…. Why would she ever not?
Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he isn’t frum. Op never said if he acts on his gayness.

Is yichud among gay men a real question? I never thought of asking.

Being gay does NOT equal pedophile. One should ALWAYS be cautious.
No one should ever touch your kids or be left alone with them unless you know them very well and you trust them.
But please don’t equate identity with predator.

I dont think the poster was implying that he is a predator at all. I think she was being serious about the issue of negia and yichud in the same terms you would as a man who is attracted to women.

It's such a different situation not used to it and wasnt not spoken about just people know and now we know.
I'm getting uncomfortable inviting or having other guys over with him

I don't find it uncomfortable at all. If he starts hitting on people, stop inviting him.
As an Orthodox man he naturally has many homosocial interactions.

Are your guests’ s-xuality a frequent topic of conversation? No? So what needs to change?
He is the exact same person
Don’t try to redt him shidduchim.
This might be my son you are talking about

No need to do anything differently. You can even talk about shidduchim, just don't redt anyone to him, obviously.

Thank you! I phrased the previous part clumsily, trying to give examples how she should treat him as a regular frum yid.
You are correct; I am serious about additional halachos that are nogeia here. Look at Shulchan Aruch, Even Haezer 24 which talks about this.
