    Well i came out to my oldest sister tonight. She told me she loved me and wanted me to be happy, but then she said " If that's what you want " and something about how she didn't understand how i would know i'm gay if i've never been with a girl. She also said she think's being gay is a choice. My mind is mess right now because did not think she would be that way. So i know she love's me. But it just hurt's that she think's that it is a choice.

    sad to know she is misinformed or misguided.. let it cool off for a while.. educate yourself so you can explain to her bit by bit in the future about the truth..

    i know where you're coming from because my mother is like your sister.. i don't talk about it as of now.. gradually though she is becoming educated without any effort on my part..

    It's just painful. I thought it would be different with her. I my other sister was so accepting i thought she would be too.

    My sister treated me differently when I came out, but I'm not sure if she thinks it is a choice or not to like the same sex. I think you should most definitely education her a bit because we all know that being gay isn't a choice. In that case, ask her when did she choose to be straight. If anything, just tell her how you feel about what she said.

    Yeah i should have a proper conversation with her. It still hurt's a little though.
    I've been trying to forget about it. But i guess it will come up when i talk to her again.
