    Ok, here is the thing..
    I have been thinking about coming out to my sisters, first to the youngest one because is the one I spend more time with lately. Few days ago, I told her by text message that I had something to tell her, but for some reasons I didn't. So now I'm not sure about what to do, if to text her and continue the conversation, or write her a letter... Sometime I think like "Ok, I'm ready! tonight I'm telling her!" but then I'm kind of afraid about her reaction, about how things could change or what she'll think about me. I know that it's normal to be afraid about those things...

    I've been paying attention to her reactions about gay/bi people and it's a little confusing..but she's not homophobic but she's rather mmm sort of skeptical I'd say...I think :confused:

    Hey,
    Im kind of in the same situation as well. I have a younger sister in her early teens and a sister in 20s and I would like to tell one of them or both of them before I tell my parents just so I have somewhat of a support system. I spend more time with my younger sister, but I somehow feel I want to tell my older sister first. The way I like to think of it is imagine your sister telling you that SHE was gay. Would you think anything differently of her? Would you care not at all or a lot? Im assuming you wouldnt care at all and if you guys have a good relationship and she loves you then she will think the same of you.

    I know.. easier said then done. I need to take my own advise still lol. BUT hey, were trying. Good luck!

    Hummm yes..actually I asked myself those questions, and you're right but I think maybe I think like that because I actually do like girls (however I guess I would think the same way if I wouldn't be like this :lol:slight_smile:.
