Your bf should apply for a visa. This is often not very difficult to obtain for Europeans, depends on his job skills, age, and education. He may have to return to his country in order to file all this paperwork, it might take a long time for him to get back to the US. There might also be sponsorship programs for immigration of same-sex partners, even if gay marriage is not legally recognized. But that usually requires that you have lived together abroad as a family for at least a year.
