    Oh my goodness! I did it! (!) I just came out to my brother and I feel great! All day today, I was feeling quite low and my brother noticed I wasn't okay. So he pestered me asking me what was the matter and I didn't really want to tell him. Then he said "What could possibly go wrong if you tell me"? And that got me thinking " Well, what's the worse that could happen "?

    So I said to myself " F*** it, just tell him"! So after 10 minutes of shaking and sweating, I said "I'm not straight". Silence... Then he said the one thing that I wanted to hear "That's okay, you're still my brother and I love you". We hugged it out and that was that. I explained that I'm still kind of figuring things out and I'll wait to tell everyone else until I start uni.

    It's a minor victory but a victory nonetheless and I couldn't have wished for a better reaction.

    It's great when that happens, isn't it? Having the support of your brother is a huge bonus because you have a precious ally to turn to if you have any problems further down the line. Pleased for you. :slight_smile:
