    give him a bit of time, but not to much. Because you'll see him tomorrow, I think that is enough time. And then go talk to him. Ask him what he thinks and go from there. I really hope he will be supportive.
    good luck x

    Hi,

    I would suggest you just be yourself. It is not a big deal. If he has questions about your sexuality answer them when he asks. The only difference is he knows.

    Congratulations. It's a very big step! Continue to be yourself and prove to him that being gay only makes you a better person since you no longer have anything to hide.

    He may not understand, so be willing to help. He's your brother, always remember that!

    Congrats on coming out to him! I would act as normal as you could around him. He has to get used to the fact that even though you are a lesbian, you are still the same person. He'll come around with some time. It took a while for you to accept this too.

    Just give him a little space to think about it. Hopefully he'll come around. At least he didn't explode and bash you or something. It could have been worse. Keep us posted! :slight_smile: best wishes.
