writes:I'm a latino gay man but not out to my aunts, uncles or cousins yet. To tell you the truth I don't think that's their problem. My parents and brothers live in my south american country although I'm out to my brothers but not my parents. They're in their late 60's now. My brothers accepted me as I am. Recently my aunt saw me with my boyfriend and I hear she's running the rumors that I'm gay to my cousins and uncles. Should I come out to them? Should I come out to my parents?

 Have you ever seen your parents/other family react to homosexuality? If it's a negative reaction, then I don't think you should tell them. But if there's no reaction or a good reaction then you should tell them. But you're part of their family and they should accept you no matter what your orientation is. So tell them and they'll probly understand. As for your aunt, she's being childish so ignore it. But tell your family. They deserve to know who you are. Sorry if I may be confusing you in any way...but tell them. Hope I helped.

 If she's already telling people about it, I say if they ask be honest. You've got nothing to be ashamed of, but it's not necessarily their business unless you want it to be. So, again, if your cousins, aunts, uncles, whoever ask you about it just be honest and take any hostility or judgement they have with a grain of salt. :)
