Hey guys, I've been lurking around these forums for a few or plus years. I was terrified of posting anything, but I feel that now would be the best time. I have always been confused about the sexuality. I mean since I can remember I have never been attracted to girls. In high school, I would see a guy and just by looking at him I would want to see him, you know just glance at him. It wasn't until a year ago did I realize I was gay.
This year being my junior year in college did I brave out and came out to my brothers during this winter break. One of them said "yeah, I know." And I was like "how?" and he replied "I'm your brother." I was so touched. My other brother was supportive as well although he did not suspect it. I don't plan on telling my parents because I seem to get a negative vibe about homosexuality from them. I don't really have many close friends and my college is still too close to home that it would definitely ripple back to them. I feel a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders that I have their support at least. I hope to be posting around the forums more.:-)
FYI just created a blog and feel free to check it out! Late cheers for '09!
 
Woohoo! Another closet broken down! Or at least slightly ajar! Congrats buddy, its nice when its starts off well like that.
 
good for you - i came out 3 days ago to my close friends and everyone has been great - more than great its really cool to have straight friends that treat you no differently [ as we aren't ] to them

coming out to tyour family is more braver than your friends and i hope in the future i can - i thought by coming out a huge momentous occasion would happen but its no different but you no longer have to lie and make excuses.

I'm not out officially but i hope one day i will be comfortable to tell complete stranges that i am gay without be self conscious :D
 
I kinda miss that feeling of telling people. it was so euphoric, now its just like telling people my name when they ask, lol. but welcome to JUB, and congrats on the family support! I am sure in time you will tell your parents, and hopefully they love you unconditionally. Good luck!
 
Welcome to JUB.

Congrats on your first post and on coming out to your brothers.
 
I have recently came out to close friends & my work Collegues know too, but I havn't worked out a way or a suitable time to tell the parents yet... Things have moved along quickly for me I must admit... I came out to my Work Collegues after returning from having been in Syd. when Mardi Gras was on... It was like part of the heavy weight was lifted, then in Nov. lasdt yr, I met my BF... Been goin' out 3 Mths now... now theirs 1 of 2 challenges...

Challenge 1: I've just recently applied for a job interstate, so I'll have to decide (if I get it) where we go from here...

Challenge 2: As things have moved along so quickly the pressure is on to finally break the news to my parents... Maybe I'll start by telling them I'm Bi... then break the news abt the other 1/2 later when the times right...

On the few occassions I've dropped a hint abt being Bi, the vibe from my older Bro & my Mom hasn't been soooo gooodddd....
 
Wow, that's so great that your brothers reacted the way they did. Very cool. I bet they can help you navigate the waters with the parents too, when the time is right, offering advice or a sounding board, or just support.

If you ask me, which you didn't lol, I would say telling them you're bi now, then coming back and telling them you're gay later would be a bad idea. Why lie about it, and potentially cause more problems and trust issues later on? Good luck to you, and please keep me posted!
