I have this cousin who I consider to be my big brother. We hardly get to see each other because he lives in another state, so the only way to talk is through skype. Today we were skyping, and I decided to come out to him. I was kinda hesitant about it, because I knew he was religious, and didn't want him looking down on my or anything. So I told him, and without hesitation, he told me that he was happy for me and that he thought it was cool, then continued to tell me that he loved me. I was so relieved, and happy, because even though he's my cousin and lives far away, we're really close, so I'm glad I can trust him with this and have his support now
Congratulations! I'm glad you have such a wonderful family member and that he loves you and is there for you even if he lives far away.
