    Well, what I find is the best way is to wait for the right occasion to tell him. I don't know how old you are, but maybe you could find a way to do it without going up to him with the 'I need to talk to you' speech.

    Maybe get into a conversation about LBGT stuff and wait for the right time to say, or maybe text him (I'm not very inventive, sorry!)

    You're probably putting it off because it is, les be honest (sorry, agreement with best friend. Thats what I have to say XD) a daunting thing to do. You never know how someone's going to react. Luckily in my case everyone I've told has been fine with it (then again, haven't tried my parents yet XD) but it is always that uncertainty.

    Hope this helps, and you find a way to come out to your brother. Good luck!
