We were at a party for my Mom-In-Law a couple weeks ago and he admitted to me that he is gay. We were talking openly with each other and I asked him if the rumors about him were true and he admitted to me that he is, in fact, gay. I'm really fine with it and I told him that. It's kind of funny though, he seemed to think that my wife or I would have a problem with it which is the farthest thing from the truth.

Anyway, we all sat together after the party had broken up and talked and he seemed very relieved to have a couple members of the family know about this and that we still love him.

It's got to be a tough thing to admit to though for some people and I think it's been tough for him to deal with when it comes to family gatherings for quite some time...of course he still hasn't admitted it to his Father (my Father-In-Law) yet. I'm not going to say anything though. It's up to him to let that cat out of the bag when and if he feels the timing is right.

Anyone else have a gay family member? How did you come to find out about it? How did the rest of the family take the news?

I am really, really glad that you are so OK with gay people. So wildly OK about them, in fact, that you felt it necessary to create a thread informing us of how cool you are with them.

I only have a problem with flamboyance. Has nothing to do with the gayness really, I dislike metrosexuals and flamboyant homosexuals equally.

Man, that Donkey Show thread really did me in, didn't it? :eek:

I can't imagine anyone cares, but for the record, I'm not gay. But I'm totally cool with them! My best friend is gay! Or something.

Well, my best friend is gay and black, too. Beat that. Or something.

I also am impressed with how cool this cool cat is with cool gay people.

You are such an open minded person to accept him for being himself.

I'm sure he felt very loved after talking to you...:confused:

My mom walked in on my brother making out with some other guy, while my dad was away in Iraq. Pretty hard couple of months, considering hes the biggest flamer ive ever seen.

Am I the only one who thought who cares? Is being gay that much of a surprise that you need to make a thread about it? I certainly don't see people creating threads with things like: My wife's half brother is black, OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

Or

My wife's half brother is a KKK member!!!
