Okay so me and my brother have always been extremely close(we're twins) today idk i just had the sudden urge to tell him, just get it off my chest and know that he's okay with it (i'm bi) you know? so i was too chicken to just tell him in person (he's in the living room with my dad) so i just went to my room and told him via facebook chat while he was in the other room. the convo pretty much went like this me: okay...so i'm bi yup, so yeah...whatevs...no big deal right? Him: what u talkin about noob? me: lol i said i'm bi..as in bi-sexy? noob him: meh no biggie, mind telling when u finally made ur decision? me:it's not a decision, you don't choose whether you're straight gay bi etc did you choose to be straight? him: nope however you do develop sexuality and utterly draw a conclusion at some point, a year ago u thought girls kissing was gross didn't ya? me: yeah but you know it's not an actual choice right? it's just who you are, and yeah you're right you develop sexuality and accept it etc anyways yeah i'm not gay just bi, i figured i was just straight cause yeah i did find girls kissing weird but i realized i was bi like a year ago, besides doesn't really make any difference does it? i'm still the same person i was a minute ago him: okay, as long as it's what you want not just some influence or phase. me: yeah dw it's not an influence or phase, and it's not "what i want" it's just who i am, its not a life choice, you know that right? him: okay me: so you're ok with it? him: didn't bother me when a friend in my maths class did it, doesn't bother me now me: thanks yeah and that was it, now i just feel kinda weird and awkward, i'm not really sure what i'm supposed to be feeling, i'm glad he's okay with it, i'm just kind of in limbo land lol but i'm happy, he's the first person i'v ever come out too, we talked a bit after it and he's completely fine with everything next step is my father lol *shaky breath* (don't think i'd have even had the courage if it wasn't for my amazing gf <3)
Congrats! I pretty much did the same thing when I started my coming out process! I'm also a twin and have a twin brother, and I told him maybe a month ago via text (I recently moved away, but not sure I could've done it in person anyways haha.) He was so accepting. He's like, "Dude, if you wanted to come out completely as openly gay I would support you 100%." He even asked me how my date was a few days later, and I was not expecting him to bring it up ever again. We're REALLY lucky to have supportive twin brothers! Keep your confidence up, it gets easier. Good luck!
YAY CONGRATS!! Cue dancing banans==>(!)(!)(!) Hopefully my twin bro will be half as cool as your! just hugs (*hug*)(*hug*)
