Awwwwww. I had super religious parents-- I totally get exactly how you feel right now. I'd be pretty careful, though. Is he also Mormon? Because you probably don't want things to get back to your parents, for now. You don't want to face the risk of them trying to send you to pseudo scientific "therapy" or something. That stuff can be damaging-- though not permanently. And only if they try to do aversion therapy. So it wouldn't be the end of the world if that happened, it would just be tough for you, at the time. I know how much that sucks, to not be able to really get out, for a few more years. But soon you'll be driving and have more control over your life.
I'd try to find somebody who you know for a fact is gay-- like if your school has any sort of LGBT group. Unless you're really sure about this guy's orientation, or at least that he wouldn't let on to your parents, I'd just try to hint at it, for now. Feel things out and see how it goes. He is a bit older than you, not too much older-- the age difference was probably a big deal when you were younger, but you're probably more within range now. Of course, if you're the only two gay kids around, the age difference wouldn't matter much.
I hope it works out! Take care, and just have patience. And remember that we all love you, and so does Jesus, and Leviticus and the apostle Paul can stuff it.
