Brother/Sister gay?

I was just wondering how people would react if one of their siblings came out of the closet and how long you think you would take to get over it. Any other thoughts about my question - please add

    Well as a guy who had a gay brother I can say that at first it is really hard to understand. I was mad and upset. I did not understand. It took me a while to accept the fact that my brother was gay. One thing that he said made me think. He said " who put the love in our hearts for another person?" he answered "GOD" I said you have a point there. I realized that he was right and that I shoudl not treat him any diffrent. Sadly my brother was killed 5 years ago this november. but I did enjoy the time we had and He and His Partner(s) were always welcomed in my home.

    I have a gay brother and I am gay , my whole family has embraced us and supported us and our partners throughout our lives . It doesn't change who you are as a person . You are still the same person that you were before you came out . The people who have known you all your life will still love you and be there for you , If they aren't then they never really loved in the first place .

    I'm canadian...I married a gay man who also has another brother who's gay.....nobody in the family treats any of us any differently than any of the other siblings.

    Why would it be something you would have to get over? It's not your life. It doesn't make your sibling an alien. It simply means they love someone of the same sex.

    It's pretty common. I know many people with gay sibs, including gay twins. Might take a little geting used to, though.
