I'm very sorry for the lose of your son. I am very thankful that I was fortunate enough having being raised in a very open minded home. It taught me tolerance, and that a persons heart is what is most important, not the color of their skin, where they come from, or who they choose to love. . A child is taught tolerance, love, and understanding at home. Not all people feel this way and instill this in their children. You didn't turn your back on your son or make him feel less of a person for being who he was, and for that, you should be COMMENDED. I am only sorry that ignorance took him so tragically and violently away from you. I have a child the same age, and don't know how I could bring myself to go if I were put in your shoes.
