I think I'm going to out myself to my family. I plan on telling my oldest sister (who has acted as my legal guardian since I was 11), so hopefully it will go well... any last minutes pieces of advice (PS- She is a very devoted Christian)?

I really think I'm ready... I told my sister's husband's daughter (I have no idea what that makes her to me) but she stood by me... so hopefully this will all go well...
 
It can be a scary thing, but you always feel better no matter the outcome.

Best of luck, bro.
 
My only advice is to own it. Don't approach this like you're telling your sister some big horrible secret - that implies that there's something to be ashamed of. Don't say "I think I'm gay" - that implies either uncertainty ("but maybe I'm not") or whimsy ("it sounds like fun") on your part. Just be calm and sincere. "I'm gay, and I think it's important that you know."

Good luck!

Very good advice.
 
Surprisingly she was 100% supportive... she couldn't be more accepting.
 
Tell us how it went!

(PS I think your sisters husbands daughter would just be your step niece.... or niece in law one of those will do anyway.)
 
The only even slightly negative thing she said was, "So is this something you are thinking about or actually know?"
I said, "Yeah... I know."
She said, "Well ok then."

She was so supportive... for example I asked her if I was seeing someone if I could bring him up for the holidays, she said, "Well I'm not gonna tell you that you can't come up just because you want to bring whoever with you."

So yeah... I know she isn't 100% ok with it... but she accepts it...
 
I won't consider that negative at all. Congratulations, MirrorMan! You should be proud of yourself and your sister. It would also be nice if you tell us how you brought up the topic and said the magic words.
 
I did the cliche, "I need to talk to you thing" and then asked her if she knew why I'd been depressed for so long... I danced around that and then asked, "Should I just tell you" she said, "Yes." and I just told her... it wasn't really that bad at all!

It took you a while to come to terms with being gay. Your sister will need time too.

Be patient with her but stick to your guns.

Congratulations- I'm glad that it went well.
 
Congratulations Mirrorman!

Your sisters acceptance says a lot about you, who you are and the person she sees. It says a lot about you as a whole and she sees that this is only a part of your puzzle.

And once shes had a little time to fully digest it I'm sure she'll be even more understanding of what you need to be happy and lead a fulfilled life. She sounds like a great sister mate!

Its time mate to start living your life to the full without the need to hide any part of you... good job!
