So to anybody who's been (maybe unwillingly) following my coming out to my 3 siblings, I'm sure you'll be relieved to know that I just came out to my last sibling, my brother! It was by far the easiest coming out I've done. My brother often jokes about being gay with my oldest brother, so I knew that when I told him, I'd have to clarify that I really am gay. So heres how the conversation went; "I'm gay." "Me too." So I walked towards him and leaned against the wall. He stared at me and I said, "I am." "Ok." So I stared at him a bit more until he smiled and said, "Really?" And I nodded and said yes. He said, "Ok. I'm impressed." "Why?" "That you told me." And that was that. So now my mom said he'd talk to him later about it because he's leaving, because I'm a bit concerned by his total lack of interest in talking about it. Anywho. Now I suppose I'm done coming out for now. The family hurdle is over, and friends will be easy to tell. So... I don't know what to say. :K Thanks to everyone who's given me advice during the long five months I've been here, spamming the forum with silly problems! <3 King xx
Wonderful news, King - it's all easier from here! Congratulations - it is great they were so accepting! Maxx
There's nothing really to say here but congrats. So, congrats! EDIT: I wouldn't be too concerned by his lack of interest, you made it nonchalant so he's probably following suit. It's nice of your mom to make sure everything's cool though.
Thanks everyone Also, an update! He came back to my house (we don't live together) and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. During the walk he made it very clear that he's okay with me being gay, and asked questions like how long I've known, who I've told, how I know I'm gay, and how I'm gay (haha!). He made me feel really good about it and is by far the best response I've ever gotten from coming out. This just makes me more excited about telling him! King xxx
Congrats - and on the "spam" thing, you may not always realize it but for every person posting questions here there are many more in similar situations, now or later searching the forum, who are too shy to ask them so thanks as well.
Congratulations. I am happy for you, and having them all accept you will hopefully make them and you feel even closer to one another than before. ^^
