    I came out to my elder brother today! Through my mum! She called him because I thought he wouldn't accept me, which wasn't the case! and I have been upset with him since childhood because i thought that he was homophobic, which he wasn't ! so, it's a huge relief ! just wanted to share that ! also, i was angry at him all my life because I had this misconception that he hated gays, so I used to find reasons to fight with him! But now, he has no problems with me ! ....(!)... It's a huge relief! Next step,friends!
    ( I have been with them as well these days because i think they are homophobic as well ! maybe I should stop fighting!)

    Congratulations on coming out to your brother and I'm happy for you that your worst fears didn't materialize and instead that he is accepting you for who you are. Hopefully this will allow you to come closer to your brother and leave the anger you had towards him behind you.

    Awesome that you took that step! :slight_smile:

    Awesome! Congratulations!
    I wouldn't say I was fighting with my brother before we came out, but I definitely became even closer to him after I told him. so I hope you can grow closer too!

    Who knows, maybe with your friends it's all in your mind too?

    Congrats! My brother who is my twin was the hardest for me to come out to. His reaction was great and has been so supportive. Good luck with your friends.

    My sister found out I was gay when my ex bf told her. This happened cause they were already friends!!! I didn't know until I caught my sister making out with her old bf. Cause she was like don't tell mom and dad or ill tell about your secret. Then i was like..... Wait a minute!!! But everything is cool now and I eventually told my parents once I met my new bf
