Welll... on a family vacation to Europe I finally decided enough was enough and I told my brother. He reacted really well; he was completely fine with it (a little confused about the fact that I have a girl friend though...). At first, it really didn't give me that sense of relief that I thought it would, maybe I was just scared or embarrassed that he knew. But little by little I feel less awkward being around him and talking about it.
Congratulations! That's awesome that you could come out to your brother. I'm glad that he is fine with and that you can talk with him about it.
