Hi and Welcome :-)
What I want to say is ... You can´t be sure that he is gay, bi, straight... till he tell you what he is. The most signs which are "maybe gay" are really just "maybe gay".
I was 6 and I knew that I´m gay ... but ... thats just me ... friends of mine had their coming out with 26 ... and knew it since 24.... other find it out with 40+, 50+ .. or older.
The best way is: Don´t watch what your nephew "maybe" is ... care for him in a way that his sexuality is not important for you. Let him be what he want to be ... if he wants pink kirbys .. let him. Watch him with restrained attention... but in a way that he know you are there if he needs someone to talk to. Important is that you know if he is maybe bullied in school... that can be very dangerous.....
Never laugh about gay jokes if he can hear you.... don´t say thinks like "Gay people are Ok for you AS LONG AS they don´t touch you.... " or stuff like this.... if he hear one sentence like this ... he will never come to talk.
If you have more questions.... we are here
