My brother and I are both gay but how do I talk to him about it?

Question - (19 December 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 December 2011)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

hey, so it's not really like a conflict, but my brother and I both happen to be gay. I'm in high school and he's in college, and just this last time he came home to visit with his gay (platonic) friend. Three of us went on a car ride and eventually got around to talking about homosexuality, and we sort of "came out" to each other in a weird sense. However, after that, we haven't talked about it (that night, or being gay) and I don't really know what to do...

I want to ask him about his experiences and if he has tips, or advice, or anything, but how would I even start?

Neither of us really share anything along the lines of sexuality or crushes or anything with our family in general, so would it be awkward to start now with him?

PS - we never did any like, incestuous stuff, so it wouldn't be "awkward" in that regard, we'd just never really talked about the both of us being gay...

bluecow agony auntits no different to two straight brothers asking for tips on dating.

When he visits over xmas why dont you simply ask him how he met his boyfriend, at least then the door is open and more conversation can flow. You can follow by asking how did he know the boyf was gay etc.

Hope that helps x
