First Family Member

So I came out to one of my older sisters last night. We had gone out to dinner, and on my way home I decided that I've been delaying telling her for no reason other than that I am still uncomfortable with the initial coming out, so I decided that I should get it over with so I sent her an e-mail as soon as I got home. (I decided months ago that she would be the first sibling I came out to--I have 3 older siblings brother=25, sisters=30 and 33] and I'm pretty close to all of them but especially 30 [I mean, we have matching broccoli tattoos...])

She called me 10 minutes later and we had a great conversation and she was very accepting. She was also understanding of my decision not to tell the rest of the family for a while (which was another reason I delayed telling her--I still don't like the idea of making her keep a secret from them)---she admitted that our brother and father would would not be as readily accepting and agreed that it might be easiest to wait until I move out (next summer).

I knew she would be great--I just didn't know what to expect from the conversation. It was really easy, though; it was pretty much a normal conversation (just with a new topic) and eventually we just worked our way on to other things. so, yeah, I love my sister :icon_bigg

 

Thanks, everyone!

It's from a long-standing inside joke that originated with a greeting card containing a poem that ends in the line "Do not ask about the broccoli, it will only make you cry." The joke lasted so long that we decided to commemorate it with matching tattoos on our ankles.

 

Thanks! and album with picture of the broccolis has been added.
