Family Members

[Virginiakid]

Is anyone in your family gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, etc.? If so, how do you and your family feel about him/her?

[Elysium]

Not that I know of in the immediate family, or any of my close cousins/aunts/uncles, but I have a more distant cousin who I'm getting to meet soon that's in a relationship with another man - I don't know if they're married, engaged, or what - and they recently had a son via surrogate. As far as I know, my family feels no different about him than they would any other family member. My family's very accepting.

[xxdrakeTxx]

well me being the wonderful homosexual i am they treat me the same way they treat me exept for the ocasional gay pun to joke around. i also have a close cousin who is gay and the same goes for him although my christian grandma rants at me about going to hell for being gay other than that no diffrence.

[phuckphace]

I'm the only one as far as I know, extended family included. but they have no idea I'm gay and never will.

[Bolwing]

My grandfather's daughter (second marriage) is likely lesbian. Ran off to Spain a few years back. I barely know her, though. Other than that, no one comes to mind.

[JamesSuperBoy]

We are all just ok - with the deal no problems at all.

[backjruton]

I have suspicions about my brother sometimes...

My mum's ok with my sexuality but I'm not so sure about my dad and dickhead of a brother :$

[Syvelocin]

I'm gay, my brother has recently come out gay though was only out to me for a while. My parents are great, both lefties so no problem. I remember my mum said something like, "That's it? You scared me; I thought you were gonna say you're pregnant or something." My dad doesn't give a flying fuck and my mum, straight, always talks to me about women which is awkward but cool.

[Croconaw]

My mom is bisexual.

[Melodic]

I have a couple people in my Mom's side and one on my dad's side that I know of..

My dad's side is pretty accepting of it I believe. My mom's side, well some of them are horribly judgmental anyways so it's expected.

[Dalcourt]

I'm gay and my Dad's bisexual apart from us two there's just his Mom and sis and they accept us/him...sexuality never was an issue in our family.

[Hollywood]

Any gay people in or around my family are likely in hiding. Can't say I blame them, people hate gays around here and my family is far too conservative to be accepting.

[Remora]

My sister is gay, i am not sure (staying with bisexual for now just to be safe) and we have some guy, my sisters' gay friend, staying here because he has problems with his family. Other than us our family is -really- straight, hehe, but we accept eachothers' sexual orientations.

I haven't come out yet and they threat me normal anyways.

[PinkFloyd]

Not that I'm aware of even in my extended family.. I have a few openly gay friends though. It's tough for them, sadly.

[ksdnfkfr]

Everyone but me is straight as an arrow far as i know. They've always been very supportive of me no matter what.

[Lovelife090994]

Everyone in my family is straight, not even asexual to go with it. Supposedly we have a distant lesbian cousin, but she left the family by choice even after the family tried contacting her. But that was a rumor. Me? I've no clue what I am; not that it's any of my family's business.

[Body odah Man]

Not that I know of. there was Cousin Steve...but he got lost on a 'fishing trip' when I was 6

[HeroesAndCons]

Me, and my gay uncles.

[Celtics]

A cousin I see once in my life lol. I didn't even know until someone told me

[ugaboy]

Not that I am aware of, except possibly me. But I have got a pretty big extended family so I am sure there is someone out there that I dont know about.

[Blood]

I'm bisexual, and one of my dad's uncles is openly gay. He's also been disowned by the majority of his family. He's super successful though; he owns a bunch of gay bars in the city.

[logan69]

My sister and me (I'm closeted)

[hansemann]

my mom is a lesbian and i'm gay, and everyone in our family accept us... but my old grandma just don't like it, but she still love us

[Babiole]

My dad's younger sister Isabelle is a lesbian. She has been openly lesbian since 1991. My grandparents accept her. My grandfather's mother found out when my aunt announced that she was going to use IVF to have a baby. She didn't approve of it at first, but she grew to accept it.

My aunt gave birth to my cousin Manon about four months before I was born. She was conceived through IVF. The sperm donor is an old college friend of hers who has four other kids. I think Manon was really what got my great-grandmother to accept my aunt's sexuality.

In August of 2013, my aunt and her partner of 17 years got married. Neither of them really fit the stereotypes - they're both really feminine.
