Parenting is not deterministic.

Question

My 17 year old son is a senior in high school. I've been concerned that he only hangs out with girls. I'm concerned about his sexuality. I went through his texts without his knowledge and discovered that he made comments about guys. I am heartbroken. I confronted him about the text and he said he is bi. All the girls he hangs out with think he is gay. I think my son is this way because he hangs out with these girls. I think they are toxic but he just wants to have friends so I think he plays into that narrative. I think the comments from the girls are brainwashing him.
My husband and I have been married for 28 years. We are raising our kids in a Christian household. We have one other son who is 20 years old. I have a lot of regrets. I should have been a better parent. I think there were signs that I ignored. But, I also am hoping that this is an identity crisis my son is going through. I'm wondering if I should remove him from his high school. But he has many friends there.
