That right, down the pub last night on my 5th pint (obviously thought it was a sutable time to break the news to me) and she comes up and says

"Awww, my brother Stu. Give me a hug."

Me being me and not used to public displays of affection from my sister just thought it was her being drunk.

"Stu, I have something to tell you, but you can't tell mum or dad. Promise me."

"Yeah ok, fine, <hic>" I slured back.

"I'm a lesbian, and this is my girlfriend."



Now that I aint pissed its kinda sinking in. I know its her choice and all, but it worrying cus my rents are known homophobes.....

I'm a wrong in just letting it roll past me and carry on? do I say something? do I not say something? I'm so very confused...

 

what can you do? nothing is the answer. she's your sister, go off and one and you may just lose her as a friend and as a sister.
so what if the rents are homophobes your sister aint hurting any one,live and let live matey...she's happy and you should be happy for her.

 

I agree with St3v3 on this.

Her life, her choices. At the end if the day she is still your sister.

 

Stu - if she's happy then what's the problem...I know there is the issue of your parents but time will tell..

P.S is she fit?

 

i agree

 

at least she trusts you enough to tell you

 

Cheers guys, just worried for her when the rents find out cus it aint gonna be pretty.


Oh and Smit, thats my sister dawg

 

The ONLY bad thing I can see about this is that she is your sister and can't watch!!

Just keep it to yourself (don't tell your parents if they are homophobic and obviously because she made you promise not to tell them) and just carry on as if she never told you. Family are always family and not worth falling out with (unless its something really really bad...unlike this situation which is pretty trivial and hardly worth bothering about).

Is she fit? Ask her if I can watch?

 

Just stick up for her if they find out cos she will need a fair bit of support if they do find out.

 

also good points of her beaing a heinz is she wont get any nasty boyfs, or get used.....hopefully, which one plays butch tho would ure mum and dad really go off on one if they found out? or do they love her enough to accept her? maybe they made it clear they dont like gay's is incase u ever had any doubts about your sexuality mac

 

Daz, i asked 1st

Stu - And the problem is? I can watch, you can't pmsl

 

As long as she hasnt got short spikey hair and wears dungarees, fair play to her

 

just be there for her when your parents find out she will need your support

 

Dude, I think one of my sisters is allergic to the pork batons as well, maybe if they hooked up we could be bruvvers or something....

I agree with what was said above, you should be chuffed she trusts you, parents are amazingly resilient and forgiving. When I think of some of the Sh!t I've done. My ma never batted an eyelid that day she walked in on me wearing her wedding dress and makeup.

 

get some pics up, and have a hunt around in her room for used dildos - I expect they'd fetch a fortune on ebay

 

You know what, I worry about some of you guys.....

 

A friend of mine came out a couple of years ago (an ex! ) and she was astounded at how well EVERYONE took the news. She's never been happier and wishes she'd done it sooner.
Parents will get used to the idea.

Good on her!

 

Was you THAT bad?

 

oh dear oh fucking dear, look at the ppl this forum attracts

 

Trust me - there are no piss takes in the english language that I haven't already heard about a million times!

And yeah - I probably was!

 

erm Maybe shes just messing with you cos shes drunk?

If its true though, its meant to be genetic so I suppose theres nothing you an do about it. Personally Im not so sure it is. (And bear in mind I used to be very close friends with a les)

 

respect to ya sister

sorry, natural bloke thing to say

 

not really that bad.

BUT if it was your brother.




Dave.

 

MadMac - I've been there. My sister came out about 7 years ago, then a while later told my parents. My mum went totally ballistic, practically kicked her out - didn't take long at all for my mum to realise that it's life, you have to deal with it, she accepted my sister's decision and apologised. Since then all has been sweet - my sister's girlfriends are welcome, and my mum even goes to Pride each year!

What pisses me off so, SO much about the situation is my sister is never without an amazing looking girl or two trailing in her wake! Makes me sick knowing that she can pick 'em up at a whim (my sis is very pretty) and even if they were straight I'd never have a hope in hell!

Best of luck with it mate, even the most emphatic homophobes can U-turn if it's their own child in question.

 

ikey dikey do as u likey

 

Trust you alex to come up with some constructive input

 

Just remember you'll never be able to watch Lesbian porn again

Any updates for us?

 

Not a noodle, life is going on as per, cept she is at her girlfriends today

 

you can watch lesbian porn together?

 

jus think, your sister could well be licking someone out as we type this!

fair play to her

 

lucky girl

 

seriously i have wet my pants to that reply

 

Dont be daft. If shes anything like the girls Ive met in the past she'll be up to her elbow in her!

 

just sit on it for a while m8 i remember when i "came out", parents were definately a bit on the homophobic side, but they were sorted with it - never battered and eyelid and mum had the cheek to say "i thought u might be, never saw one of your girlfriends" lol.

ahh well - such as life cant change who you are no matter how hard you try - your parents will settle to the idea eventually, mine did, and am still at home with em untill i can move out when i hit 25 and start earning megabucks :P
