Confused???

[leafgreenangel]

my brother is gay and i have been REALLY confused about my sexuality. i wouldn't say i'm gay, but maybe bi... i just feel as though i could never come out because i would crush my family's dream of having a "straight son"...my parents are very open and have accepted my bro, but i feel really limited... i think that i'll be more open when i get to college and verify anything i'm not sure of. Also i wouldn't want to tell them that i'm bi and not be sure...:what:

Well your family's "dream" to have a straight son is pretty rash, you shouldn't let that dictate your feelings about your sexuality.

I agree, they shouldn't pressure you to be straight and end up unhappy due to it. Your parents are living their own lives, you're living yours. Live it to your full potential, be happy. Weather you're straight, bi-sexual, or gay. Since they are open like you've stated.... They will accept your decision and weather they like it or not it's ultimately yours.

Well every parent wants a straight son to carry on the family and be grandparents, The thing is i am gay and my mum wanted a gay son (Dad does not know yet) But the thing is, My brother is most deffinitly gay or bi, But i think gay and my sis has not had a BF yet, Only reason i did not want to be gay as everyone else seems not to be straight, But just tell your parents you think your bi, They should take it good as you could still have kids and you like both sexs' :)

If you don't feel telling them is right then don't, but you can't help who you like, and you said your family is accepting, so that wouldn't crush their "dreams". Do what you feel is right, and when your ready, talk to your parents, don't feel ashamed to be bi/gay because you think your family wants a straight son, they accepted your brother, so they will accept you. Good luck, with your situation, hope everything works out for you :)

Don't let what you think your parents want from you determine who you are; it won't help anyone in the long run. They've accepted your brother and they'll no doubt accept you too, maybe they'll be a bit worried that neither of their kids will have the life they thought they would, but they'll get over it.

Jus don't tell them until you know for sure yourself :) Ss .. x

Dont let your family affect your disicion! Make it by yourself then tell your family, they will accept you no matter what!
