    Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I just wrote and e-mail to my sister coming out to her. She lives in another country so it was not that easy for me to come out to her before or in another way. I know that she will be really, really cool about it because she is soo open minded, but I'm still a little nervous about what she will answer to me. She is the first person from my family that I have ever come out to, so it's kind of a big deal for me. I know that I'm not asking for any advice right now, but I just wanted to share this with you :slight_smile:

    Hi there! It's fantastic that you decided to send the e-mail and come out to your sister. From the sounds of it, her reaction will be quite positive.

    Well done! :slight_smile:

    Congratulations! :slight_smile:
    I know what you mean about how it's still scary even when you know the reaction will be positive, but it's great that your sister is so open-minded and that you are ready to come out to family now!

    Awesome! Congrats! I recently came out to my sister also, even though it was on accident, it scared me even when I knew she was going to be accepting! Nice job!!

    Heeey just in case you wanted to know what my sister said. She responded to my e-mail saying that the news took her by surprise but that she will definitely support me, that she knows that the path that I will travel is not easy (I guess she means coming out to the rest of my family, or being gay in a somewhat closed minded country) but she will always be there for me. I'm sooo happy and relieved right now :grin:
