Story #2107

When I came out to my brother today, it was entirely spontaneous and unplanned. I knew he would be supportive, I wasn’t worried about that, I just hadn’t felt ready to admit it to anyone yet. I asked him if he would tell our grandparents if he dated anyone of the same gender (he’s bicurious) and he said yes. He asked me if I would; I said that I don’t think I would. He asked if there was a possibility of that happening. I shut the door and just admitted everything: “Yeah, had my first crush on a girl when I was in year 7, and I think I’ve always liked them like that”. He said he wasn’t surprised and had always wondered. We laughed about it for a minute or two and then my mom walked in so we dropped the convo. I feel confused about it all, but like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel proud. (F/15/Bisexual)
