My younger brother is gay.
And there is speculation over a cousin, an aunt, and an uncle.

My uncle is gay, but is exiled from most of the family. (Not for that reason.) He's a huge jerk.
There is at least one gay person in every generation in my family. Some out (recent) and some 'known' but not spoken about.
my brother has a gay sibling...me! and my godfather is gay, my brother's godfather is gay, and bascially all of my mom's male friends are gay. also, my dad's best friend from college is gay.
let's see:
gay uncle
gay cousin
lesbian cousin
gay second cousin
and those are just the ones i know about. the family suspects at least one other gay male cousin.
I have a gay cousin who lives in Queens. (Please no jokes. I am serious.)
Most of my family is happy, thanks.
Why does this matter?
my mothers cousin (my second cousin?) is gay.
My sister is a lesbian, or at the very least bi
and I think my nephew is gay
Oh like your threads are so fascinating, you little punk snob.
jrb, what is it like to have a gay brother? did you always know he was gay? who came out first? how is it for your parents?
I never really thought about whether or not he was. As I got older, I kinda figured he might be. And, I knew by the time he came out to me--gaydar.
My mom is VERY cool with it all. She believes it is genetic--we have different fathers, so she agrees that the mother passes it on. She LOVES QAF and The L Word. She always asks about my love life. And, my extended family knows about me and are either cool with it or just don't go there--but still treat me well.
My brother is not out to the family as he feels the pressure of what he fears that will look like to other people--the kind who would blame my mother. He does not want that. She has a **** em attitude about it all. And, my brother has also had to put up with enough stupid comments about being an actor--just like his brother. He deserves to be respected for who he is of his own merit.
good for you, your bro, and your mom!
I'm not really sure what difference it makes, but:
Brother-in-Law
Uncle
Cousin
I'm actually curious which gay people have gay siblings. But, since the off-topic board is a constantly full of TMI/personal tidbits, I thought I would open it up to everyone.
The thread wasn't started to make a difference or matter. All the trivial crap on BWW, and I gotta get posts for asking this?
i think it is a very interesting topic and have always wondered what it would be like to have a gay sibling.
My half-sister is gay, but only out to me (as far as family members go). My cousin is gay, and out to the world. Literally. Wait - does that sound bad?
rath--is she only out to you because of the family (like my bro's worry)? Or, is that just where she is right now?
She has issues. Let's just say that. No one in the family would have the slightest problem with her being gay.

I had sex with my cousin, but he's actually straight. And my uncle watched surreptitiously, but he's straight, too.
All in all, I'm not sure it matters much.
WHAT?! Dgrant? I'm hoping that is a second cousin?

Please - of course it wasn't. But we could never have children, so it doesn't matter.
Now my SISTER, on the other hand . . . I always wondered what would have happened if that had turned out differently. It really messed with her head when she found out we had slept with the same man - and he was a cousin!
