I Told my Brother I'm Gay!!!

I know I wrote a journal not too long ago, but this needs to go to my fellow Oasians...

I came out to my brother!!!!

No, we didn't have a nice, little chat.

Nope, I didn't tell him through a deep, emotional letter.

Nah, we didn't have one of those heart to hearts with the weeping and the crying.

I told him through a little one page text message :p

The most nerve-racking part?....

I still don't know his reaction!!!! You see, I sent him the text right before I stepped into the shower, but when I came out he was already asleep. It was only a 15 min shower! But, I dunno if he slept because of his track meet tomorrow or because he wanted to avoid me.

I dunno. On DoS when girls had those "It's Adam and Eve...not Adam and Steve" flyers, he went around ripping them down. He and his friend believe that you shouldn't judge a person. He's even interrogated me on my sexuality before, and it wasn't hostile. So, he should be okay with me being gay, right? Right? AH! I'm so scared and nervous. Maybe he'll just avoid the topic overall.

*Extremely nervous*

It sounds to me like you

It sounds to me like you don't have to much to worry about. Whatever the outcome, don't sweat it now. No use worrying about something that will most likely tun out just fine =)
Congrats on coming out and good luck! <3

Well...

It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about.

Then again, there never is anything to worry about, since arguing with reality is always a waste of time.

Yeah, that was me but it was

Yeah, that was me but it was my oldest brother that read the essay. He's in denial and believes my sexuality is a phase/identity crisis. This time I told my younger brother. He's about a year and a half younger than me, and goes to high school with me.
