So I've been thinking about finally coming out to my older brother and his wife, but I'm not really sure how my brother feels about gay people. He sometimes says things are "gay" (like "that's so gay!") which isn't a great sign, but people say those types of things without thinking about how it sounds. Frankly, I think he's too old to be saying things like that - he's 32.
I was thinking about coming out to his wife first - I'm pretty sure she would be supportive, and I want to ask her how she thinks my brother would react. They both live pretty far away from me (like 6+ hours by car), so it'd be an overnight trip to visit them.
Not even sure why I'm posting this... I guess I'm just nervous/scared at his reaction. He's always been there for me, but this will probably surprise him. My family is generally very homophobic (especially my parents and extended family) which is why none of them know yet. I've only told my friends who were all very supportive and great about it. I'd like to finally tell someone in my family, and my brother is really the main one I want to know. Bleh, why does this have to be so hard?
