    I'm seriously considering coming out to my brother. We have a really good relationship, partly because we are only 1 year apart and share many of the same friends partly because we have very similar interests, but I'm still very hesitant. I think he would be okay with it after an undetermined amount of time but he tends to deflect awkward situations with humour and by avoiding them. I don't want him to make a joke and then walk on egg shells around me for an undetermined amount of time but I want to tell someone.

    :lol: I never thought I would have this issue because I am a very personal, quiet, and reserved person offline. I didn't think I would want to come out until I was ready to come out to everyone.

    Comments??

    I am having the same problem, my brother and I 20 months apart and I don't know how he will react. I don't want to hurt our relationship because we are together all the time, but he deserves to know.
