To make a long story short.... the whole imediate family now knows. Consisting of my two brothers, and my parents. I am out to a couple cousins, and a few friends, and now I am really happy with it. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Here is how it went down.
I actually came out to my oldest brother first in the imediate family.. I knew he would freak out the MOST..but I knew he would freak out even more if he wasn't first because he is selfish. Basically after I came out to him he had the following things to say:
1) I'm going to faint
2) I can't believe it... I don't see it.
3) You are just stressed from school and aren't thinking clearly.
4) Your brother dropped you a little but on your head when you were little.. that must have done it
5) I think you were molested as a kid and brainwashed into thinking you are gay
6) You just havn't been with a great girl yet
He keeps repeating 4-6 as a joke from time to time as his way of coping.. but part of me thinks he actually thinks this. Whatever. He is coming around.
Then my selfish oldest brother always thinks everything is HIS news so he goes and tells my second brother (middle child) without me knowing...my second brother says he loves and supports me but he has a lot of questions and I better have answers.
Then at 3 AM they pretty much ganged up on me and starting asking me these ridiculous questions accusing me of being a liar and that I am making a lot of this up for attention. Basically I got fustrated and walked out on them screaming "Either you guys accept that your little brother is gay and start acting like brothers should or you will NEVER have ANY place in my life. EVER"
The next morning they apologized and said they loved and supported me but it will take time to get used to it.
THEN ONTO MY MOTHER. I told her... sat her down and said she is an awesome mother and thanked her for everything.. then told her I was gay and assured her nothing would change.
She said.. "I have always known, even if you show no signs and you can't tell that you are gay I have always known. I'm your mother. I love you and if anything.. I now love you even more. I will tell you father..I will handle it." We hugged and I assured her this would not affect my quality of life in anyway.. I will not let anyones discrimination affect me. I then laughed when she said "If anyone ever says anything negative about my handsome, smart, and caring son I have NO problem spitting on their face and kicking their ass! I'm proud that you are gay." Imagine a short soft-spoken greek lady saying this.. I LOL'd.
Then she went ahead and told my dad.. he said he was not expecting this at all and he doesn't see it but he still loves and supports me. We sat down and had a talk and cleared up a few routine questions.
Then.. because a lot of my dads side of the family and their relatives are a bunch of cunts.. I had to ask some questions. I told my family if my dads side of the family or anyone for that matter begin to start talking shit about me being gay they better put them in their place and do me justice and don't give some shitty comeback like "At least he is not doing drugs!" or some stupid shit like that. I want them to REALIZE they have to say "There is nothing wrong with it.. we are SO HAPPY and PROUD. Our son is the perfect example of what a son should be!" They told me they were already going to do that and I didn't need to tell them. I told them I have NO problem putting people in their place as well.. I know everyones secrets and have no problem embarrasing and humiliating them (and Im talking about other people not my imediate family) infront of EVERYONE of they talk shit about me being gay and try to give my family a hard time. HA!
Basically since everyone that matters now knows...I am on a "If they don't ask.. don't tell" not because Im ashamed because I am proud and I want to scream it to the world.. but since my brother's wedding is coming up and I don't want to steal his thunder I'll wait.. plus.. nobody (straight, gay, bisexual, etc) should flaunt what they do in the bedroom anyways. They can find out when I bring a guy home for holidays.
Basically, with time everything will fall into place more than it already has
Just thought I would share my story.. as short as I could have possibly put it haha. Sorry about the long-ish read 
I guess this classifies me as OUT?
And I mean it when I say this.... if it wasn't for JUB and this community right here..I would have not come out for a VERY long time. So I want to thank JUB and everyone here for just giving me a place to feel secure and safe.
oh.. and maybe one of these too.
