coming out to siblings

i dont remember how we got on the subject, but i remember my brother and i talking about the issue of two girls kissing. Either we just finished watching a movie about it or something that had a scene of two girls kissing on screen. Of course, him being the stereotypical guy, he thought it was hot for two girls to be making out. I asked him what he thought about two guys kissing, and he said the idea didn't make him feel comfortable. I then asked him: 
"And what if I told you I was gay?"
 He replied "Nah, don't be joking around. I know you are not, so it doesnt matter." 


Then I asked him again, "..but what if I am?"
 "But I know you're not...wait, really?"
 I just keep looking at him with a plain expression, and simply told him in a matter-of-fact tone: 
"Yes, I am."    
After a couple of minutes pass, he comes back to my room and tells me:
"...uhh,... actually, I think its fine that you are a Lesbian. Its cool, you can love anybody you choose, as long as you are happy."

:)  I'm lucky to have such a supportive brother.

    I told my little brother in the car. We were talking about Tila Tequila. He started talking about how people should just love who ever they want.

    I took this as a cue to come out. To this he responded, "i know." He explained that he found my dirty websites while using my computer.

    I helped me that he give me a sign that he was ready to know... and I was ready to tell him.

    Thanks Tila for being the subject that helped me become closer to my family.
