Some advice? :

ok, so a few years ago my mother and one of my brothers found out that i am gay. a couple months ago i sat down with my mother to talk, cause things were starting to feel a bit awkward. or at least that's how i felt. we had a talk and she claims that the reason why i'm gay isn't that something is wrong with my body, rather that i'm choosing to be gay. like she checked my blood test for hormone imbalance and stuff and it was all ok. my mother is practically a doctor with all the medical stuff she searches up on the internet. (kinda wish i never taught her how to use it ) i kinda suspect she told my dad cause he never talks about dating/girlfriends or the such.
as for my brother i don't really know if this counts, but i think i clarified things with him when i was drunk one night.
i'm not sure if my sister knows or not.. thinking of tell her if she comes to visit this summer.

so i guess what i'm trying to get at is, how do i talk with them? i'm worried that i might make things worse. my mother and father are the religious type. my bro i'm assuming is ok with the fact (from what i can remember) and my sis is kinda unpredictable.

Ok, first of all, you have to develop healthy lack of caring concerning how ok they are. OF COURSE it's so much better if they are, but in the end, if they have a problem, that's their choice. Being gay is NOT a choice, and you need to be very firm on that. Do not argue with them, just say that it is what it is and you are not going to be discussing it. Being gay is completely natural and everyone who says otherwise can go shoot themselves.

I don't know if there is anything more to talk about with them. In the end, it's your life and if you don't need/hope for their approval, they will soon start treating the issue as your business. Religious types rarely get fully ok with it, but as long as you are not worried of financial consequences or something of the sort, there isn't much need in prodding the subject.

The key here is to not act like it's a shameful subject. The more you do that, the more people sense it and start thinking it is. It's not.

And yeah, your dad knows.

If you believe your brother to be ok with it, maybe you can talk to him first. That way you will have some moral support before going into deeper discussion with your parents.
