Just found out via myspace that my brother is gay

Yeah it is very possible that if you bring it up to him, even in a supportive way, he could get defensive or feel like he has to explain himself and his lifestyle which will be uncomfortable for everyone. plus, it kind of puts him on the spot.

Well put!

If it was you that was gay she wouldn't be saying that.

LOL @ all the PC on this thread.

If my brother was gay I wouldn't disown him, but it wouldnt be a cause for celebration.


That aside I wouldn't say anything unless he seemed unhappy or depressed. Let him come out in his own time. Unless you are old it seems like he's young and might not be ready or able to go public with it at this time.

It figures this had to happen during the first time I have drank in weeks lol

My parents are really really ignorant and racist so this issue has probably been avoided for quite a while. I was on my sisters myspace site and noticed that my brother was on there. I clicked on his profile and one of the first things it says is that he's gay. I know it must be extremely hard for my brother especially considering my dad is the most ignorant whereas my mom is but not as much. I'm trying to figure out a way to talk to him but being pretty drunk, it may not be the best time. Anyone had any experience with this?

Sober up first.
Then go to your brother and give him a hug and tell him that you saw his myspace profile and that if he wants to talk about anything that you are their to listen. Just leave it at that so that he can take the next step but reasure him that it will be his decision to tell other people and not yours just so he doesn't have any worries about people finding out. Apart from that, just treat him as you would normally treat him as he is still the same person.

maybe im not getting this....
WHAT is there to be discussed?....
the "need" to talk to him about his sexual prefrences?....like you or anyone else is going to change his way of thinking?...
Just tell him (if you find a need to) that you had no idea, and wish him the best.
