I am really scared about telling my family, whitch consists of my five brothers and my baby sister, about me being homosexual. im sure my baby sis wont care seeing as she is bi herself but im a little worried about my brothers reactions. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly apreciated.

Just be blunt about it.
They're your family, not like they're going to hate you because of it.
Anyway, sexuality isn't important in the long run.
Being gay, or straight, wont decide peoples disposition towards you, only your actions will.
Sorry if that was rude, I'm just.. Blunt.

Well, in my personal experience, it was hard for me to let my family know that I was bisexual and had/have a boyfriend. I have two brothers and one sister, all older than me so it kinda made it more difficult for me to say it to older siblings. My sister was somewhat supportive about it, my oldest brother is homosexual, but I really don't know where he stands cause' I barely see him. I would imagine that he would be supportive about it, and as for my other brother, he's just plain homophobic so of course he hates it and doesn't support me not one bit. So I guess I have some support and some negativity but it's all good cause' it's who I am and nobody's gonna change that. I think you should just tell them and get it over with, you'll feel better about yourself after it's out on the table. Just don't feel like you should be afraid of who you are, a peron should never have to worry about something like that.

I'd also say that you have to be blunt about it, just come out and say it. Then give them time to think about it so they can come to terms with it.

The worst they can say is "I'm dissapointed."
Just remember that.
