Oh wow I feel this so much. Coming out was the most nerve wracking thing I ever did. Mostly because my dad is very old fashioned. Mom was okay with it mostly because her cousins daughter is gay. Dad's never really said anything about it but I feel that I probably lost what little respect he had for me.
Aww <3. And I feel like Stars brother (I'm AMAB), though I'm the youngest in my family, I'm the only one in my family who looks like my mother and has been considered quite kind and empathic (being autistic, I bust that nasty stereotype of us "lacking empathy" wide open) though also extremely shy and introverted. Well, I came out this year as non-binary to my friends and online and I prefer to dress more femme and I've been out as asexual/aromantic for some time now to friends and online. I never told my family or co-workers any of this.
I feel I'd react the same way if I had anyone in my family accept me because it would be a big weight off my chest. But I have many fears of being rejected like Alex was ;-;, especially how conservative my family is.
*Wants to give many hugs to Alex and Star :3*

Quick thing from a gay person, maybe it's just me but I don't really like the phrase "he'd always been gay". I was gay since day one and it took me years to realize. Maybe a more accurate phrase would be "he'd known for a long time". I'm not the only gay person on earth tho so maybe this wouldn't bother other people
coming out to your family about how you are is stressful as hell. told my dad and he was just all. "yeah i figured you was gay :D" i'm Demisexual and have a genderfluid BF and 2 trans GFs. it was easier to just say i'm Bi considering what i am is a bit more Nuanced than what they could wrap their brains around. when i got around to telling my mom i got that one popular response of the mother being a tad nervous and saying she still loved me.
This hits pretty close to me and my little sister, same kind of age gap and I was the one that taught her how to ride a bike and a lot of other things. When I came out I pretty much was disconnected with my family for years before after about 10 things started to sorta be accepted. So yeah I lived this and was gone for a while before now I can be around family again I still have a hard time saying I'm gay around family or even bring a date over... hell even getting a date has been hard because I think of how rejected from the family will I be if I was with someone my own sex in life
God...You know, I may not be gay, bi, trans*, nonbinary or anything such as that...But this makes feel oddly grateful for my parents. I've mentioned before that I'm gender non-conforming but recently I had a bit of a midlife crisis brought on by a mix of things, including turning thirty and I remembered how my mom in particular would police aspects of my appearance and presentation and yet at the same time subtly encourage some of the same behaviors and interests. One night I was talking to my mom and I felt this dire urge to tell her I'm a crossdresser (primarily for non-fetishistic reasons). It wasn't so much that I felt she needed to know so much as I wanted to know what would happen if she knew the full depths of my "effeminacy". Whether she would take to looking upon me with disdain or acceptance, I just wanted to know...Thankfully she was accepting. I'd been getting these mixed messages despite both my parents being pretty hardcore firebrand progressives and I was never sure what my mother in particular would think if she knew... But I had to know so I could at least lay that question to rest. I know this may not carry the same weight as an LGBTQIA+ person coming out, but feminine men don't have it the easiest.
There seems to be this limbo for feminine men. If your gay, well there's the whole "no fats, no femmes" thing. If you're a trans* guy who expresses femininely well here come five billion people looking to police your gender expression and tell you that you're not a real man and a "trender". If you're a straight cis* guy, you're often assumed to be gay, bi, or pan. Your girlfriend/spouse/crush may break up with you or reject you because of it. So your dating life is dismal. You're all good when the people you've been lumped in with want to beat up on someone held in lower regard by society, but the minute they're not around, or they feel it serves them, they'll throw you under the bus. Yet...Yet despite all that bullshit...You still have it better than many of the guys who fit into any sort of non-cis or non-hetero identity who have to deal with extra layers of agony. You still have to deal with the toxic crap men put onto each other, but you're not so marginalized that there's any sort of movement, space, or subculture for you to really join up with. It's a mind fuck....Yet I feel like a dick for going on about all this because once again, there are people who've got it worse.
This just made me reflect on my family and it made me think...For all the problems I do have with them...I got lucky. It makes me wonder how things might have turned out if I'd been born to people who were far more conservative. Would they have kicked me out just for being effeminate? What if I was gay? What if I was trans*? I suppose it's foolish to get hung up on what ifs and that I should just be grateful, but I can't help but wonder all the same...

Huh. I wonder if that's the type of reaction my brother expected to come from me when he told me. I mean, he wasn't emotional about it or anything. He just sort of blurted it out of the blue, really. (In fact, I actually secretly wrote the interacting into one of my early furry stories along with name changes and of course POV. However, I'm not going to link it here. I'm kind of embarrassed by my early work.).
Really, I only asked him two questions and pretty much accepted it. We talked about how out mother would react, but that's it.
(For those curious:
If I remember correctly the questions were:
"Are you sure?"
Pretty sure.
"Okay then."
*Pause and continues eating.
"So does {your girlfriend} know? Because I'd hate to think you were just leading her on the whole time."
Oh, she knew from the start. )
